Crusty at the eSim-boards has linked these two articles on how the Danish army implements professional training with SBP, with some mouth-watering pics of their training cabins as well.

The Danish Army has decided to rely completely onSteel Beasts Professional as a means to deliver virtual simulation based training to its AFV crews, which is a step beyond the role for which it was originally designed. A decade of experience in AFV fire control systems replication for user training has matured the software into a product which, despite its radically reduced costs, offers the required functionality for crew training without serious reductions in fidelity. At the same time the software offers more than traditional “stove pipe designs” in the crew trainer business.

As such, Steel Beasts Pro PE marks a watershed in the training paradigm from an instructor-centric frontal lesson type towards explorative learning under the guidance of experienced soldiers. As a desktop trainer Steel Beasts Professionaloffers a wide range of functionality at an unprecedented price point of under 10,000.- EUR per workplace, including PC hardware and gunnery handle replica.

This enables to use the solution as a supplement to traditional simulator training for better crew preparation prior to simulator rotations, and better retainment of acquired know-how and skills after simulator training, or even during deployment where patrol and guard duty might otherwise result in a deterioration of skills in medium and high intensity combined arms operations.
