Training
- Precision marksmanship and skill development
- Tactical operational training
- Live-fire exercises
- Urban combat training [3]
Among these categories, tactical training is the most sophisticated as it involves comprehensive computer recording of each session. During exercises, soldiers are equipped with vests containing small speakers, radio antennas, and integrated GPS devices. Helmets are fitted with laser detection and reflective components. The GPS transmits positional data via radio to tablets and commanders overseeing the operation. Commanders monitor troop movements in real-time and communicate orders through Saab’s proprietary Radio Communications system known as DAN (the data acquisition network).[4]
