The NZ Army has awarded Saab a five-year contract to deliver a high fidelity Tactical Engagement Simulation System (TESS).
This initial order will provide the army with a proven, off-the-shelf and technically advanced training system. The laser-based TESS capability will be delivered by Saab NZ.
Saab’s live training system has been developed and continuously modernised with experience from more than 20 customer nations.
“With this agreement and order for training systems, the NZ Army will have a market-leading live training system that will improve their training capability,” Åsa Thegström, head of business unit Training & Simulation within business area Dynamics said.
“We deliver a modern system that enables a wide range of training scenarios and the highest realism.”
Saab will work with the NZ Army to deliver a value for money, off-the-shelf TESS capability that will significantly enhance the Army’s ability to conduct and analyse the outcomes of force-on-force exercises.
