MILITRAY TRAINING & SIMULATORS 2021
Military Simulation, Wargaming and Virtual Reality Training for the Indian Armed Forces
As the Indian armed forces modernise and induct new platforms and complex surveillance and delivery means, the need to transform training philosophy, modify and improve the present training infrastructure and methods, introduce new training technologies to save costs and get better results in terms of skill sets and efficiency has never been greater. The demand for simulators, software-based training aids and alternatives to using expensive methods of training is growing.
The Indian armed forces are pursuing the idea of wargaming, simulators and high cost training aids with the seriousness that they deserve. Until a few years ago, they could not afford the luxury of such aids. The inventory was rudimentary – manual driving simulators, pyrotechnics, indoor ranges, manual jury-based wargames, sand model wargaming and so on.

Today, the armed forces boast of full motion cockpit simulators, computer assisted wargames, virtual battlefield modelling and so on. The questions to be asked are - Has it improved efficiency and combat capabilities? Have we done enough? And are we laying enough emphasis on wargaming and simulation?
Due to the low training costs and superior accuracy in measuring the training, objectives are propelling the adoption of ground-based simulators, thereby increasing the growth of ground segment.
In the next 15 years the Indian armed forces are likely to spend Rs 80,000-100,000 crores ($14-18 billion) on training and related activities. The market for simulation and training systems will definitely be witnessing a robust growth year-by-year offering lucrative opportunities to both local and foreign vendors.
Based on platform, the global military simulation and virtual training market is segmented into flight simulation, battlefield, vehicle, and virtual reality. Global military simulation and virtual training market is projected to grow at CAGR around 4.0% and reach $15.12 bn by 2026. The virtual training segment is also expected to grow at considerable rate due to the increasing investments in the modernization of the military and rising internal and external security threats.
At present, a major part of the Indian defence simulation and training market is captured by very few established public and private players comprising of DRDO, Zen Technologies, CAE India, BEL, HAL, BDL and Alpha Design Technologies. The space is wide open for many private players.
Simulated Training
The most cost-effective methodology for training is simulated training. This creates a realistic environment to generate near-real responses to various contingencies as well as handling of complex weapon systems, without the need to go outdoors and use operational equipment. It also saves transportation costs and ammunition.
Sustained training and a better grasp of next-generation equipment with new technologies is required. Emphasis is on enhancement of technical levels, dual-trade training, multi-tasking and training the trainers. Modern methods of training are being introduced with enhanced use of simulators.
Wargaming
Computerised wargames are an excellent means to simulate as-close-as-possible scenarios and conditions of war through a system of capability ratios, multiplication factors, movement tables, random numbers and so on. But the armed forces lack quantified data, compilation of which is a scientific process involving great deal of study and research.
The biggest challenge is access and affordability. State-of-the-art computing requires that simulators be large dedicated systems residing in specialised facilities.

Objectives of the Seminar
• Bring together industry, government and military professionals working on weapons and aerospace simulators, wargaming, Network Centric Warfare simulation, communications modeling, and human machine interfaces and virtual reality.
• Bring together the military training community to understand the requirements, work being done in industry and evaluate latest technologies on offer.
• Provide a forum to the armed forces to project their requirements and interface with industry for better understanding.
• Provide an opportunity to industry to present their capabilities.
• Expose delegates to the latest technology that will affect the future of training and simulation solutions.
