To develop its training and simulation systems - which cost-effectively address all aspects of military simulation - CMI Defence has been working for several years with SILKAN, a company whose core competencies lie in virtual, constructive and cutting-edge simulation. The developed solutions feature direct connection to real combat hardware, creating embedded simulators for training and mission rehearsal. These systems include high performance simulation engines, reconfigurable interactive instructor stations with built-in debrief capabilities, and innovative immersive displays coupled with high fidelity image generation.

The two companies write a new chapter of their common history. Indeed, SILKAN and CMI Defence have been working together for several years in order to design, develop and deploy a new simulator solution for turret crew training. This collaboration enabled the development of a world premiere: the first turret embedded training simulation, using the real equipment connected with an instructor station as the simulator.

Created on April 30 2015, AGUERIS ambitions to become a reference player in the field, with an extensive offer in technical and tactical training simulators for the land forces, and the development of innovative technological products in modeling and simulation.

“AGUERIS will enable CMI Defence to remain present alongside our customers, throughout the lifecycle of our products, with a comprehensive and competitive range of products and services associated with our weapon systems portfolio” says Jean-Luc Maurange, Executive President of CMI Defence.

For SILKAN, and his Chairman and CEO François Guérineau,”the alliance with an industry group the size of CMI Defence will allow to maintain the lead already acquired by SILKAN’s team in the field of land forces simulation, offering a range of reference products internationally. Technological partnership with AGUERIS will strengthen SILKAN’s position on its own markets, especially simulation and training solutions for aeronautics”.
