NSW company to provide mobile weapons training simulation system

A NSW-based company, InVeris Training Solutions Pty Limited, has won a $4.1 million contract to supply Defence with a mobile weapons training simulator to help Australian sailors and soldiers maintain their weapons skills wherever they are in the world.
The Albury based company is delivering and supporting a fully digitised Mobile Weapons Training Simulation System (MWTSS). This will help hone the skills of those using the Australian-made EF-88 assault rifle and a range of other weapon systems operated by Australian Defence personnel.
Minister for Defence Industry, Melissa Price, said the contract would deliver 14 simulators by July 2021.
“The contract includes the simulation system, associated training and systems which are compatible with in-service weapons, and then converted to laser-based simulators,” Minister Price said. “The system provides an efficient and cost-effective mobile small arms training and skills maintenance capability for Australia’s regionally based Army units, as well as Royal Australian Navy personnel in remote areas.”
The Australian Army will receive nine of the simulation systems, of which seven will support Army Reserve units throughout regional and remote Australia.
The other two will support deployable units such as the Amphibious Ready Group and 2/30th Training Group in Butterworth, Malaysia.
“Navy will also receive five systems, which will be issued to key naval bases for delivery of training while on-shore and at sea,” Minister Price said.
Federal Member for Farrer Sussan Ley MP, said InVeris Training Solutions has an outstanding track record in designing and developing live fire and weapons simulation training systems for military, law-enforcement and commercial range customers since the late 1990s.
