▶️ The *Bundeswehr* has commissioned Rheinmetall to supply *training simulators* called Distributed Naval Training Architecture / Verteilte Trainingsarchitektur der Marine (VTAM). ▶️ The order, worth a *mid-double digit million Euro sum*, was signed in December 2024 and booked in the same month. ▶️ The project, which began in January 2025, will run for four years. ▶️ VTAM is a *networked simulation-based operational training solution* for the German Navy. For this purpose, Rheinmetall Electronic Solutions GmbH is supplying, and taking into operation hardware and software modules at six German Naval bases. ▶️ VTAM is the first simulation of its kind to be introduced into the German Navy, simulating the *interaction between the external and internal combat schemes* of a warship (weapons deployment and damage control). This will create a wide range of training and exercise options in the future, enabling crews of vessels, boats and aviation units to be trained together in a virtual scenario.
