Rheinmetall is upgrading three German NH90 helicopter technical simulators with additional software modules from its Asterion product line.
The NH90 cockpit trainers are used for initial and advanced training of Bundeswehr aviation technical personnel in NH90 helicopter operations at the German Air Force technical training centre in Fassberg.
They allow the Bundeswehr to train aspiring aircraft technicians in all systems without having to use the expensive original weapons system.
Rheinmetall’s Asterion modular simulation realistically reproduces the behaviour and functionality of air, land and sea weapon systems.
Asterion can be used on various training devices, from a full replica cockpit to a tablet PC, and can be customised to the customers’ training needs.
The embedded virtual simulation can also be combined with a computer based training solution to maximise the training effort.
Thanks to its system infrastructure, the Asterion product enables a modularly designed training system, meaning that it can go into operation as soon as the first software module is delivered.
