ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES simulation of communication and electronic combat. The VBS3 system is the only tactical simulation system which got through the process of integration with the BMS system during the CWIX exercises. Modernisation of armoured and mechanised forces Simulators and training simulators of armoured vehicles. From simulators of firing, through complete integrated simulators of crews, platoons or mechanised companies, with the elements of landing. The most advanced example of such a solution is the KTO (Wheeled Armoured Vehicle) Rosomak SK1-Pluton simulator developed by the Research and Development Centre for Mechanical Devices (OBRUM) in cooperation with the Military Academy of Technology (WAT), used by the General Tadeusz Kościuszko Military Academy of Land Forces (WSOWL) in Wrocław. Foreign manufacturers, e.g. Rheinmetall, also produce advanced simulators of tanks Leopard 2A5 on the basis of the VBS3 system. A simulator of any vehicle can be built on the basis of the system: from simple solutions of desktop class, through complete training simulators installed on moveable platforms. There is also a possibility to build simulators being a cover to real combat equipment. In such a situation, the crew switches its vehicle to the simulation mode and does an exercise on real equipment, without incurring any operation costs. Maritime applications Simulation of new types of ships in order to make crews familiarised with distribution of rooms, procedures of machine operation and combating fires and evacuation procedures. The VBS3 system is regularly used by the Royal Navy for simulation of destroyers of type 45. The VBS3 is able to simulate water and underwater objects, simulate the sea state in an advanced manner, and also to graphically copy real shorelines and the shore infrastructure with a great level of detail. The library of objects can be enriched with models of mines for the needs of simulation of all aspects of a mine battle, including the use of autonomous underwater vehicles.
