Here is why defense ministries shift their focus on simulation and virtual training methodology

In our ever-connected era with disruptive threats such as extremism and terrorism, defense and security forces face lots of challenges. Real-time military training is steadily expensive; one of the important factors that contribute toward the growth of global military simulation and virtual training market.

In effect, in real-time military training, the costs associated with fuel for aerial military platforms, procurement of training ammunition, wear and tear of the fleet as a result of continuous flying, are very high. These sessions are risky at times, eventually exerting pressure on funding. This has made the defense ministries to shift their focus on simulation and virtual training methodology.

In addition, the defense budget sequestrations over the last few years have fueled the demand for innovative simulation and training systems for the military.

According to Research and Markets, key vendors include CAE, L3 Link Simulation & Training, Lockheed Martin, Rockwell Collins, and Saab.
