CORE™ Training System, for PROTECTOR RWS and MCT systems
Securing correct and realistic training for PROTECTOR RWS and MCT Systems
Introduction to CORE™
The training system offers simulation in a highly realistic synthetic environment powered by VBS4 from Bohemia Interactive Simulations (BISim). It features a single player mode for individual gunner skill training and can include multiplayer mode for crew training. The system emphasizes user friendliness and provides the trainee with automated and valuable feedback after each training session.
CORE™ configurations
The system is available in various configurations supporting training in a classroom environment, or on the actual platform. Each delivery includes highly detailed 3D models of the platform and PROTECTOR RWS or MCT system, together with pre-made training scenarios.

“Because you are using real equipment, training with control grips and interacting with buttons, muscle memory is improved and strengthened.
Combined with the realistic virtual world provided by VBS4, it’s also more engaging, which improves knowledge retention and drives behavioral change.”
- Pia Andersen, Director Through Life Support, Land Systems
