Mission-Ready – Anywhere. Anytime.
Battle Lab - Sub Unit (BL-SU) is a plug-and-play training
classroom for military sub-units (e.g., combined arms teams).
Delivered in transportable cases, BL-SU includes everything you
need for effective, scalable virtual simulation for training or
mission rehearsal—anytime, anywhere.
Current warfare trends are creating increased demands to use and synchronise a wider range of sensors and effectors, including remote and autonomous systems. Sub-units now need higher levels of training and experience beyond foundation warfighting training. Training and exercising these skills are challenging in the live environment due to safety risk, cost and range availability.
All of this – and much more – is facilitated by BL-SU.
Virtual Simulation is a computer-based simulation where human trainees directly control entities (or avatars) with a virtual environment. Virtual Simulation is proven to reduce time needed in live training, because trainees can make and learn from mistakes in the simulation prior to deployment.
BL-SU leverages VBS4 to deliver almost any imaginable training scenario, using modern weapon platforms with representative capabilities. You can integrate BL-SU with your own C2 systems to “train like you fight”.
Here are some of the ways that BL-SU users are benefiting:
BL-SU provides an accurate simulation of human-controlled offensive, surveillance and other drone types and provides the perfect environment to develop and practice Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) to counter these munitions. You can train against the latest drone threats without leaving the classroom.
BL-SU provides all of the tools you need to build scenarios to practice collective training and tactical decision making. It allows trainees to quickly execute plans in the virtual simulation, from the first-person perspective. From preparing defensive positions to coordinating combined arms assaults, BL-SU allows your trainees to communicate and operate collectively as they would in the real world. Make mistakes in simulation to maximize the value of time spent in the field.
BL-SU is not only for infantry soldiers – it includes vehicles, to allow drivers to practice convoy drills or full vehicle crews to practice TTPs either as an individual vehicle or collectively (e.g., a Bradley Platoon or Company). Vehicles are fully simulated and are equipped with all the capabilities of their real-world counterparts (e.g., thermal sensors, electronic warfare, active protection systems, cannons, and anti-tank weapons).
BL-SU supports mission rehearsal anywhere on the virtual Earth. Use the included tools to quickly and easily tailor an area of interest to match real-world conditions, and train before you deploy to either the live fire range or into theater. Add intelligent AI-controlled entities (“computer generated forces”) to test different plans and run through courses of action.
BL-SU is customized to meet your needs.
It includes:
Rugged cases with pre-configured PCs, high-fidelity displays, simulation ready peripherals and optional VR/AR headsets. BL-SU can support up to 250 trainees in a networked, collective training scenario
Includes VBS4 and optional add-ons to create, run and assess virtual simulation exercises. These add-ons can include 3rd party software such as SAF-Fires from SimCentric or classroom management software from Pitch
We will develop custom scenarios to meet your training needs, which you can then further modify or extend. From individual training to combined arms, for any domain (land, sea, air), we can deliver collective training scenarios to allow you to start training as soon as BL-SU is delivered.
BL-SU can integrate with the rest of your training environment through DIS or HLA. You can connect BL-SU to your C2 systems or to voice comms, and any DIS/HLA compliant simulation.
