Founded in 1956, Thomas Global Systems is an established defense manufacturer with decades of experience in simulation and training solutions, complex systems integration, high-reliability electronics and more.
As the Prime Systems Integrator of high-fidelity training simulators for cutting-edge Main Battle Tank (MBT) technology, including the Abrams M1A2 SEPv3, Thomas Global’s mission is to design, manufacture and deliver this groundbreaking capability to Allied nations and partners worldwide.
Thomas Global’s Immersive Tactical Trainer (ITT) sets a new standard for Next Generation military vehicle training. The ITT accurately simulates all crew positions, providing a versatile and high-fidelity system to address the training requirements of a Tactical Crew Trainer, Advanced Gunnery Training System (AGTS), and Driver Trainer.
The ITT enables independent operation of each crew position, allowing the onboard instructor to teach all crew members. This deployable system can operate as a single vehicle, in a multi-vehicle configuration, or as part of a larger networked training scenario via an HLA/DIS Gateway (High Level Architecture (HLA) /Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS)) for high-fidelity complex collective training.
• Low-Cost Live Mission Rehearsals: Reduce your reliance on live fire exercises and multiple training systems to lower the total cost of ownership and initial investment.
• Fully Deployable Containerized Design: Train anytime, anywhere, with fixed (classroom), mobile (trailer) and deployable (standard ISO container) options available – transported by Air, Land and Sea.
• Integrated Crew Training Across All Positions (Commander, Gunner, Loader, Driver): Allow all crew members to participate in each instance of the full training continuum from technical gunnery to group maneuver.
• High-Fidelity Virtual Environments Simulating Realistic Combat Scenarios: Experience full fidelity for all crew positions to prevent skill fade and reduce errors during live fire training.
• Real-time Instructor Control & After-Action Review Tools: Allow instructors and unit commanders to continuously challenge their best operators with fully customisable training environments and scenarios.
• Scalable For Platoon/Company-Level Operations: Perform high-cost, complex combined arms collective training in a synthetic environment at your home base.
• Interoperable With Other Simulation Platforms & C4I Systems: Interface with existing training systems & desktop trainers with a leading virtual system including an extensive library of global land forces, virtual models, & terrain.
• Fully Immersive Environment: Precision replication of all vehicle crew positions - Driver, Commander, Gunner and Loader
• Out of Turret View: Full 360 degree out-of-hatch view for the Commander with usable binoculars
• Full Loader Position: Working ammo door and selectable ammunition natures
• Full Driver Simulation: Allows for vehicle freedom of movement in the virtual environment
• Operator Developed Scenarios: Fully customizable scenarios and terrain as well as preset standard gunnery tables
• Networked Training: Multiple ITTs can be connected for collective training and full mission rehearsals
• Environmentally Controlled: Deployable in the harshest environments
