TMI Simulation Solutions chooses MAK ONE as the software solution for the Malaysian Army’s AV8 Light Combat Turret training simulation system
In March 2022, TMI Simulation Solutions was awarded a contract by Denel Land Systems (DLS) to deliver two AV8 Turret Training Simulators to train gunners, commanders, and drivers of the AV8 Gempita, an 8x8 Armoured Fighting Vehicle. With only a 12-month contract to finalize the training simulators – complete with simulation software, electro-mechanical hardware, and instructor operator stations – TMI hit the ground running on their search for reliable, high-performance simulation software that catered to contract requirements and was easy to modify.
TMI evaluated simulation software companies across the globe for the job, and even considered developing the software in-house…but ultimately chose the MAK ONE suite of simulation software from MAK Technologies. MAK ONE was the tried and tested set of simulation tools already used on several Light Combat Turret systems fitted to wheeled and tracked vehicles.
“MAK ONE’s database of extensive militarized aerial, naval, and terrestrial vehicle platforms reduced our technical risks and enabled us to deliver a world class solution in ten months from placement of order to installation onsite,” said Thivash Moodley, CEO of TMI Simulation Solutions.
TMI was able to easily create multiple missions, add terrain databases, and rapidly integrate radios, hand controls, battle panels, switch panels and other OEM specific hardware, which fast-tracked development and significantly reduced test and evaluation effort. The ballistics models for the machine guns, cannons, and missiles are based on models calibrated against extensive firing trials, which helped TMI incorporate “gun jump” to improve the hit-miss accuracy.
“TMI has designed and developed more than 100 complex multi-platform simulation systems over our 15-year history, but never have we exceeded our own expectations to complete a multi-vehicle, multi-role player simulation solution in 10 months – all thanks to MAK ONE and the MAK management and support teams,” said Mr. Moodley. “Thank you, MAK, for your invaluable contribution to help TMI deliver another successful global project. Our entire team is still awed by the speed, performance, and quality with which you helped us deliver these two turret training simulators.”
