ARTIST unifies live and virtual training methods to create

a training solution that overcomes the limitations of

live training.

ARTIST is Elbit Systems’ innovative, embedded, hybrid-live virtual

training suite for combat vehicles and operators of electro-optic

sensors. ARTIST stretches the concept of "train as you fight" to its

limits, presenting the ultimate solution to the restrictions of live

training, by creating real-life mission-training scenarios that support

operators of land, air and naval forces.

As REAL as VIRTUAL Gets

ARTIST introduces a comprehensive, highly realistic virtual layer composed of entities and effects into the live training platforms.

This allows the trainee to operate all sensors and systems against an AR-enriched real-world view. The enriched training environment looks, sounds, behaves and reacts as it would in an operational scenario, providing trainees with an all-encompassing training experience.

Tailored to any combat platform that utilizes electro-optic sensors and systems, ARTIST is operated through various visual displays, such as screens, multi-function displays, helmets and

heads-up displays. The virtual components are also integrated into other operational devices, including radars, C4Is and more.

In this comprehensive virtual arena, ARTIST allows operators to train on detection, recognition, identification, fire procedures and protocols, against authentic virtual opposing forces.

The platform supports coordinated and synchronized, day and night, all-scenario training, from a single vehicle to a combined-arms formation at the platoon or company level.
