Leclerc simulators are now networked

Ecole d' Application de l'Arme Blinde' Cavalerie (EAABC) in France placed in service a networked crew trainers for the Leclerc main battle tank (MBT), using distributed interactive simulation protocol. The simulation, the first in four slated for delivery, is the first example of networked collective training in a virtual environment for Leclerc MBT crews and platoon leaders in a tactical combat situation. The Leclerc simulation programme is an alliance between the Delegation Generale pour l'Armemente, the French Army, Thomson & Simulation and Giat.
