Defence forces are turning to simulated grenades, mines, and kinetic effects to deliver training realism without operational risk.
Simulated Munitions and the Rise of Hyper-Realistic Training
The modern soldier’s environment is increasingly synthetic — yet more realistic than ever. The U.S. Army’s latest $28M contract for simulated grenades and mines underscores a global shift: training realism without danger. These next-gen devices replicate the sensory and kinetic profile of live explosives while maintaining full safety.
Simulated munitions bridge the gap between VR-based drills and live ranges, giving soldiers tactile, cognitive, and procedural feedback that embeds muscle memory under stress conditions. Combined with telemetry capture and after-action review systems, they allow instructors to replay events and improve decision-making accuracy.
AIC’s training solutions integrate physical and virtual realism — coupling simulated detonations, ballistics, and threat analytics with cloud-based telemetry review — delivering the next evolution of readiness engineering.
