(PresseBox) (Düsseldorf, )
Rheinmetall, a leader in defense and security technologies and Bohemia Interactive Simulations (BISim), a wholly owned subsidiary of BAE Systems, and renowned provider of advanced simulation and training software solutions, announce the start of a strategic collaboration. This cooperation aims to promote the development of innovative simulation solutions that are crucial for modern combat training. The collaboration will take effect for the first time in the "Heavy Weapons Carrier" project by developing state-of-the-art gunnery and combat simulators for the training of the German Army's Medium Forces through the integration of BISim’s VBS4 and Blue IG products.

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.

"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. They provide cutting-edge simulations for NATO, US, 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. 

"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.
