Patria SHIFTR

Create immersive tactical training scenarios for the whole vehicle crew using Patria SHIFTR

The Patria SHIFTR training simulator opens a unique simulation world for the whole vehicle crew. It uses the latest extended reality (XR) technology, which provides totally new features to practice the crew. The simulation solution is easy to operate, has a modular architecture based on customers’ needs and is a cost-efficient solution for various training scenarios.

Patria SHIFTR speeds up the crew’s learning process

With the Patria SHIFTR training simulator it is possible to

• Practice an individual and group tactical skills of vehicle crews in classroom environment.
• Practice communication between the crew and correct courses of action during the mission.
• Practice observing the vehicle surroundings, vehicle protection and actions in unexpected hostile encounters.
• Practice operating in different weather conditions: daytime, visibility, rain, clouds, etc. or geographical and climatic conditions. 
• Create new opportunities for interactive training of combat tactics.

Optional HEAT AI-analytics brings a gamification element and speeds up the learning process by introducing actionable insights and personal score cards for each trainee. High quality Varjo XR-4 headsets ensure the best user experience and immersion. The synthetic environment is Virtual Battlespace 4, which comes with an extensive content library, supports training at any location on the virtual globe and has the capability for developing geo-specific terrains.

SHIFT from one vehicle configuration to another

The modular architecture allows training of Patria vehicle crews in all possible vehicle configurations. The simulator solution includes training stations for all vehicle crew members – for a driver, commander and gunner. The training stations can be used individually or at the same time to enable simultaneous tactical training of the whole crew. Any of the training stations can be manned by constructive (AI controlled) crew member, however the voice communication is only possible between human crew members. All equipment is on wheels for easy transportation and computers are installed in a rack cabinet.

Proven concept

Patria has decades of experience in developing various simulation solutions. Patria SHIFTR is the newest member in the simulator family. Patria has also made an integration between Patria SHIFTR and the Kongsberg CORE simulator in collaboration.

This extends the individual gunnery training to an immersive whole crew training solution for customers who have selected Kongsberg weapon system together with Patria vehicle. It is also a demonstration of seamless integration of different simulators which all use the same VBS4 software. SHIFTR is a real turn-key system ready to be connected with end-customer’s VBS4 training environment!
