The four participating SME partners: Guardiaris (Slovenia), Instalaza (Spain), ITEC (Austria) and Madritsch Weapon Technology (Austria) form a well-rounded consortium selected by EDIDP - European Defence Industrial Development Programme with their project FIIST - Future Integrated Indoor Soldier Training.
The main innovation of the FIIST is the unique concept of tactical training of soldier squad with multi-types of digitized weapon replicas and remote weapon station residing on infantry fighting vehicle, while all participate within the same simulated battle scenario. Other notable innovations include a generalized qualification procedure for similar simulator systems and FIIST interoperation with other simulators based on High Level Architecture distributed simulation framework.
