DRDC Unveils Latest Research Using Simulators

Today, Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) and the US Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC), together with General Dynamics Canada, presented the latest research using a revolutionary combat systems simulator.

The event marked the end of the third of a series of experiments within the Multi-Role Combat Vehicles Technology Demonstration Project (MRCV TDP), that saw Canadian and American vehicle crews operating each other's equipment in a simulated environment. This type of international demonstration illustrates the benefits of leveraging the work of allied laboratories to determine the systems' engineering, tactics, techniques and procedures before vehicles are built. This will help to avoid potential costly and time-consuming field solutions that might require retrofits to the equipment of coalition forces. (read more)
