Saab Opens Demonstration Room at Orlando Office, Showcasing Next-Generation Training and Simulation Technologies
New space offers hands-on access to Saab's Force-on-Force live training portfolio and a preview of where military training technology is headed next.
Last week, Saab’s Land Systems Division celebrated the opening of a new Training and Simulation demonstration room at its Orlando, Florida office. The space enables military partners, customers and stakeholders to experience the company's latest training and simulation technologies and preview new product developments in a dedicated, purpose-built environment.
Technologies on display include the Force-on-Force Live Training product line, with man-worn kits, vehicle shooter and target kits, and target drones. Saab's Virtual Surrogate Weapons product line is also represented, offering a broad view of how the company approaches live, virtual and constructive training environments.
"Since 2017, Saab has partnered with the U.S. Marine Corps to reinvigorate live training and develop technology that will revolutionize how the next generation of warfighters prepares for combat,” said Lou Lara, Saab Senior Director of the Training and Simulation Segment. “Today, Saab’s Force-on-Force training serves warfighters across the U.S. armed forces and its allies, and this new space will demonstrate the current and future capabilities of the program."
The Force-on-Force live training featured in the demonstration room is a modular and scalable platform built on NATO-approved standards. Where legacy laser-based systems might register an entire formation as casualties from a single shot, Saab's advanced laser technology identifies exactly which soldier was hit and where, then calculates realistic damage estimates. The result is training that reflects how combat actually works, building the decision-making instincts that matter when seconds count.
The system is paired with Saab's Exercise Control capability, which captures battlefield events in real time and delivers immediate feedback to unit leaders. After an exercise, commanders can review engagements, analyze decision points and identify both strengths and gaps with a level of detail that supports long-term training management. The Force-on-Force Live Training is already in use with the U.S. Marine Corps through the Marine Corps Tactical Instrumentation System (MCTIS), U.S. Army National Guard units and allied forces across NATO.
