"Operational readiness in an era of international military co-operation demands joint-forces training. But it needn’t all be live. A cost-effective alternative comes in the form of synthetic environments – real-time representations of modern warfare. Synthetic environments combine simulators with live and computer-generated forces, in a seamlessly realistic military operation.

"Military procurers increasingly use synthetic environments to test and develop equipment across multiple scenarios.

"TT&S is at the forefront of synthetic environment technology. We are taking the lead in a pan-European study into how cross-border networking can extend the synthetic experience into a multi-national training exercise.

"The French army’s Centaure training ground shows how TT&S technology can turn a hundred square kilometres into a controllable, real-time battlefield. Centaure’s interface between live troops, constructive simulations, pyrotechnics, and laser-based firing systems, delivers a multi-faceted and highly-credible military event.

"TT&S’s land-based training solutions also include a full range of armoured vehicle simulations, and training in weapons handling and marksmanship."

"Accidents at power plants are extremely rare. With the right training, they become virtually non-existent.

"TT&S is the world leader in power-plant simulation, with more than 70 systems delivered worldwide. Our experience covers nuclear, fossil-fuelled, and hydroelectric power stations, plus distribution networks and chemical and petrochemical plants. We’ve even built the world’s first post-accident simulator.

"Three million lines of code enable full-scope simulators to replicate the behaviour of power stations in everyday conditions – and in emergencies.
