Canadian Army selects Bohemia Interactive Simulations to deliver Digital Virtual Trainer

By Defence Industry Europe

Bohemia Interactive Simulations, a wholly owned subsidiary of BAE Systems, has been awarded a five-year enterprise licence contract to deliver the Digital Virtual Trainer for the Canadian Department of National Defence. The agreement includes three additional option years of maintenance support and is designed to provide scalable synthetic training to strengthen mission readiness across the Canadian Army.

 

The Digital Virtual Trainer is built around BISim’s simulation products and will enable personnel to plan, rehearse, execute and review complex missions in immersive environments. It offers both realistic first-person training and large-scale collective exercises across varied operational scenarios worldwide.

 

 

“We’re proud to support the Canadian Army’s vision for modern, flexible training with a proven, battle-tested virtual platform,” said Pete Morrison, chief product officer at BISim. “Whether rehearsing for rural maneuvers or complex urban operations, the Canadian Army can train with confidence on highly authentic virtual terrains.”

At the centre of the system is Virtual Battlespace 4, paired with the Blue IG image generator to provide realistic visual effects and seamless integration with existing systems. The solution is designed for interoperability and ease of use, with tools for exercise control and after-action review.

 

 

To enhance flexibility, the system includes TerraTools Platinum, BISim’s advanced terrain generation software that creates mission-specific environments using real-world Geographic Information System data. This allows the Canadian Army to replicate a wide range of training scenarios with high fidelity and adaptability.

The award follows a competitive evaluation process and highlights BISim’s established record in delivering simulation technology to allied defence forces worldwide. It also underscores the company’s role in advancing training capabilities through digital innovation.
