9 The Center of Simulation and Trainer Technologies, the headquarters of which is in Brno, is the main training facility in the field of simulation and trainer technologies. The CSTT is divided into two centers: CSTT Brno and CSTT Vyškov. The Center of Simulation and Trainer Technologies is designed for conducting simulated training of staffs (up to a brigade level) and units (up to a company level). CSTT Brno This center uses a tactical simulator based on computer software. Furthermore, the CSTT applies software and technical instruments, which enhance capabilities of the technical simulator with regard to training, instructions and analyzing practical activities. The center is adapted for training commanders and staffs up to a brigade level (or its equivalent) both in war operations and OOTW (operations other than war). The tactical simulator is capable of providing training for lower commanders with the emphasis laid on command and staff exercises. Its operability was successfully verified in computer-assisted exercises at a brigade task force level. The tactical simulator and other CSTT s technical instruments meet all standards of the contemporary training aimed at conducting war operations, keep pace with trends in modern armed forces and will not necessitate principal changes in the future. At present, the tactical simulator is capable of fulfilling, in a limited scope, requirements of current warfare in build-up areas. CSTT Vyškov The center is designed for training commanders and units up to a company level with an emphasis put on training crews of combat vehicles and selected artillery specialists on installed virtual simulators. In order to carry out competitive training, the center is equipped with the MILES tactical simulator based on a laser system for infantry weapons (assault rifles, light machine-guns, KONKURZ anti-tank missiles) and other combat systems. The system has no control and evaluation device and is neither capable of developing AAR (After Action Review) nor transmitting data to exercise control points in real time. - 9-

10 The center is equipped with crew simulators (OS) adapted for tactical and marksmanship training such as the Type I Virtual Simulator, OS-72M4 (T-72 M4CZ Tank Full Mission Simulator), OS-BVP2 (Infantry Fighting Vehicle Crew Simulator) and 10 Type II (so-called desk-top) Virtual Reconfigurable Simulators. The above-mentioned simulators are capable of making reconfiguration for T-72 and T-72 M4CZ tanks, IFV-1 and 2, Mi-24 helicopter, a commander after dismounting, a squad and an artillery observer. Virtual simulators are interconnected with the center s computer network by means of the DIS 1 communication protocol (with a perspective of being transferred to the High Level Architecture) and linked to the systems of constructive simulation in the CSTT Vyškov and CSTT Brno. The CSTT Vyškov also includes a universal training site for driving tanks under water, which enables tank crews and assisting divers to carry out pre-practice training. Selected artillery specialists train on the ATSSCz 2 simulator (introduced in 2004) with use of battlefield observation devices and ASPRO 3.
