Rheinmetall’s Urban Warfare 'Training City' To Come Up In Middle East

[Zarvan]

Rheinmetall to supply simulation technology for urban operations training centre

Rheinmetall has won a contract to set up an urban warfare “training city’ from a customer of Middle East-North Africa (MENA) region.

The complete ‘training city’ site, which will be constructed in the customer country, will have technical features that make it the advanced training centre for preparing soldiers and security personnel for urban operations. The ultramodern facility enables the troops to practise combat operations in urban terrain.

Rheinmetall will equip urban infrastructure constructed by the customer with a complete array of simulation technology, creating a high-tech training environment. Core elements include a high-performance wireless data and position locating system as well as a control and evaluation centre, to include presentation systems for exercise briefings.

Advanced Laser Engagement System, designed to take into account the special requirements of urban operations and house-to-house fighting, make it possible to bring a full range of participants into the exercise loop, including their weapons and vehicles. For example, every combat vehicle involved in the exercise is fitted with laser receivers that also enable vehicles to be engaged from above.

From the control and evaluation centre, the status and position of all exercise participants can be monitored in real time, even when they are inside buildings. In addition, it is possible to simulate the impact of indirect fire on building interiors, e.g. from artillery and mortars.

In order to enable realistic training for operations in a complex urban setting, a new ‘city’ was constructed in the customer country precisely for this purpose, consisting of more than 150 buildings.

Damn Israel, you never know how to cover up your tracks.

Damn Israel, you never know how to cover up your tracks.

Israel wouldn't need Rheinmetall to set up a urban training center. They have plenty of their own set up, and active for years. It would be stupid for the IAI to be selling equipment to Rheinmetall only buy it back from them....

Anyone have an idea of where this training city was built? The UAE or the KSA maybe?

I am not sure if any of the guys in the previous replies studied geography before Lol , "Middle East-North Africa (MENA) region"

People have studied Geography,history, Physics, Chemistry, but when an online forum gives them anonymity, they venture into the deep dark realm of sillyville.

I think it's Morocco or Egypt.

I think its Egypt but it could be Morocco also as Morocco is quite close to KSA

This was done at IDEX 2017, it is most probably for the UAE..

"A complete ‘training city’ site will be constructed in the customer country, whose technical features will make it the world’s most advanced training center for preparing soldiers and security personnel for urban operations

Rheinmetall will equip urban infrastructure specially constructed by the customer with a complete array of simulation technology, creating a unique, high-tech training environment.

Advanced Laser Engagement System, designed to take into account the special requirements of urban operations and house-to-house fighting, make it possible to bring a full range of participants into the exercise loop, including their weapons and vehicles. For example, every combat vehicle involved in the exercise is fitted with laser receivers that also enable vehicles to be engaged from above. From the control and evaluation center, the status and position of all exercise participants can be monitored in real time, even when they are inside buildings. In addition, it is possible to simulate the impact of indirect fire on building interiors, e.g. from artillery and mortars.

In order to enable realistic training for operations in a complex urban setting, a new ‘city’ was constructed in the customer country precisely for this purpose, consisting of more than 150 buildings. It includes residential districts with multi-storey terraced houses and detached suburban-style villas as well as shopping centers, a school, a hospital, sport facilities, government buildings and embassies. High-rise buildings up to nine storeys tall represent apartment houses, office buildings and hotels. The complex also features a complete urban road network, including bridges across a river

In future, formations ranging in size up to reinforced battalion battle groups will be able to sharpen their combat skills in a hyper-challenging, hyper-realistic urban environment, aided by the very latest simulation technology."

Linking this to the the UAE deal signed with Rheinmetall for the simulation system LEGATUS® system, is what justifies my answer..
