Zen Technologies Unified Combat Training Centre

Zen Technologies Limited, pioneers in simulation technology based training solutions, are displaying a large variety of capability rich training simulators and solutions at Defexpo 2016. The Company is showcasing, for the first time, ‘Zen Unified Combat Training Centre’ (UCTC) which encapsulates a composite, comprehensive and flexible training solution to fully meet Individual and Collective training requirements of combat units of the Indian Army.

The Zen Combat Training Centre (Zen CTC) is a flexible and customised training solution for Armed Forces, Central Armed Police Forces, Special Forces and State Police Forces. The facility comprises virtual, live and constructive simulators which fully addresses individual and collective training needs of combat units. Configuration of equipment at the centre will vary from force to force and from one unit to another. The UCTC can be customised and configured for specific needs of other combat units as well. For instance, a UCTC for an armoured regiment would comprise tank basic and crew gunnery.

Simulators, Tank and B-Vehicle Driving Simulators and Armour Combat Training Simulator (ACTS) for two-sided force-on-force tactical exercises: Besides these simulators, training systems such as small arms firing simulator, target systems and portable containerised tubular shooting range for live firing with personal weapons will also be required, as all combat arms need to be proficient in handling personal weapons. The Mechanised Infantry UCTC will have commonality of simulators with the Infantry unit and will in addition train on ICV Gunnery, ICV Driving and ACTS along with tank units. Similarly, Artillery will be provided with the forward observer simulator to train Fire Controllers in their duties. Small arms training systems and B-Vehicle Driving Simulator, will also form part of the Artillery UCTC inventory.

The UCTC is not only designed to train sub-units and units in conventional warfare but also for asymmetric warfare-Counter Insurgency (CI) and Counter Terrorism (CT). Add-ons such as shoot house/indoor live firing CQB Range are critical to train troops in room intervention drills.
