Rheinmetall, Hologate Sign Strategic Cooperation
December 3, 2024 | RheinmetallEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Düsseldorf-based Rheinmetall AG, a leading company in the field of defense and security technologies, and Hologate, the world's leading provider of sophisticated Extended Reality (XR) solutions in the field of simulation and entertainment, intend to work closely together in the future to develop innovative simulation solutions.
The strategic cooperation aims to promote developments that are crucial for modern military training.
In a world where the requirements for training systems and methods for driver training are becoming increasingly complex, realistic and state-of-the-art simulation technologies are essential. By combining Rheinmetall's extensive know-how in the field of military training systems and Hologate's expertise in the development of XR simulation technologies, a new level of simulation capabilities is created.
"This partnership is an important step for Rheinmetall to further expand our portfolio of VR/XR training and simulation solutions," explained Hanno Tabeling, Head of Driving Simulation Systems Engineering at Rheinmetall. "With Hologate's state-of-the-art software, we are able to offer our customers even more realistic and flexible training options. The development of a VR driving simulator for training military drivers is the first time that this collaboration can be seen and experienced."
Hologate brings extensive expertise from projects with the German armed forces and police, in which XR technologies meet the highest training standards. The AI and trainer-controlled solutions enable a holistic and realistic training experience.
The mobile XR motion simulator HGXR SIM enables versatile applications such as helicopter, truck or boat simulation. Thanks to the open system architecture and virtual buttons, it is possible to quickly switch between different vehicle models at the touch of a button. This flexibility saves resources, increases efficiency and reduces costs.
The advanced motion tracking technology minimizes latency and simulates dynamic G-forces of up to 2g. A range of motion of one meter and inclinations of up to 30 degrees create a precise and realistic training environment. The combination of quality, flexibility and cost-effectiveness makes the simulator ideal for a wide range of training scenarios and locations.
"The partnership with Rheinmetall is a significant step forward for us," explains Leif Petersen, CEO of Hologate. "By combining our expertise in XR technologies with Rheinmetall's extensive know-how, we can develop innovative simulation solutions that set new standards."
The strategic partnership underlines the shared commitment of both companies to optimise the effectiveness of modern technologies. Tailored to the current and future challenges in the military (basic) training of military drivers and other crew members, customers worldwide can be offered innovative solutions tailored to their specific needs.

10/07/2025 | Dr. Jennie Hwang -- Column: SMT Perspectives and ProspectsData is one of the six pillars of AI infrastructure. It is critical to the performance of artificial intelligence (AI) models. AI data, essential to both the training and inference of Generative AI models, connotes the datasets used to train, validate, and test AI models. Training data provides models with a frame of reference by establishing a baseline against which models can compare new data using pre-trained models for predictions or generating new content.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Investing in Tomorrow's PCB Experts Today
09/24/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsPeople often describe the PCB industry as one of the most critical yet invisible foundations of modern electronics. Every project needs a PCB, but few college programs or engineering curricula cover the complexity of board design, stackups, or manufacturability. That means the responsibility for developing the next generation of PCB experts falls on the industry itself.
