Bohemia Interactive Simulations (BISim), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BAE Systems, Inc., and renowned provider of advanced simulation and training software solutions, and Rheinmetall AG, a leader in defense and security technologies, have announced the start of a strategic collaboration. This cooperation aims to promote the development of innovative simulation solutions that are crucial for modern combat training. BISim’s VBS4 and Blue IG products will be integrated for the first time in the "Heavy Infantry Weapons Carrier" project by developing state-of-the-art firing and combat simulators to train the German Army's Medium Forces.
In a world where the demands on military training methods are becoming increasingly complex, realistic and flexible simulation technologies are essential. By combining BISim’s expertise in the development of simulation technologies with Rheinmetall’s extensive know-how in military systems, a new level of training and simulation capabilities is created.
"BISim’s technology empowers the warfighter to operate with machine-like speed and unmatched confidence to enable decision dominance on the battlefield,” said Rahul Thakkar, president of BISim. “This strategic partnership with Rheinmetall gives customers the overmatch they need every time. As a team, we are pushing the limits of synthetic training with simulators, raising the bar on the quality and scale of the experience delivered to our customers."
This strategic collaboration emphasizes the commitment of both companies to enhance the performance and effectiveness of modern simulation technologies. Customers worldwide can anticipate innovative, practical solutions designed to tackle the complexities of current and future combat environments, equipping them with the tools needed to achieve operational readiness and decision advantage on the battlefield.
"This collaboration is an important step for Rheinmetall in further expanding our portfolio of training and simulation solutions," explained Bartek Panasewicz, Head of System Technology Training Systems at Rheinmetall. "With the state-of-the-art software from Bohemia Interactive Simulations, we are able to offer our customers even more realistic and effectively customized solutions."
BISim’s advanced platforms and solutions empower system integrators to tackle complex challenges in simulation and mission planning. It provides cutting-edge simulations for NATO, U.S., the German Bundeswehr, and allied militaries. The flexibility of BISim’s products allows Rheinmetall to create sophisticated simulators for various military vehicles, ensuring realistic training for the warfighter.
