Zen Technologies secures design registration for 60 mm mortar training simulator. It offers immersive training experience.

Defence training and anti-drone solutions firm Zen Technologies has secured design registration for its 60 mm mortar training simulator under the Designs Act, India.

It is a cutting-edge system designed to provide an immersive and realistic training experience to the mortar crew of an infantry rifle platoon, the company said in a release announcing the registration.

The simulator addresses critical aspects of 60 mm mortar training such as target acquisition, simulated firing and fire corrections, thus ensuring mortar crew are equipped with skills necessary for effective use of 60 mm mortars in the modern-day battlefield. Its innovative design is tailored for operational efficiency, delivering a system that is both ergonomic and user-friendly, the Hyderabad-based Zen Technologies said.

The design registration is a pointer to the company’s focus on indigenous innovation and development, aligning with India’s vision of achieving self-reliance in defence technologies. With 60 mm mortar used extensively by militaries worldwide, the simulator is poised for high global acceptance, further enhancing India’s position as a reliable and trusted supplier of defence equipment on the international stage.

The easy-to-use scenario builder provides the instructors with an endless array of situations for setting the training exercises. The simulator’s ability to operate indoors makes it an ideal solution for year-round training, irrespective of weather conditions or logistical challenges. It not only reduces the costs associated with live firing exercises but also enhances safety by eliminating the risks involved in conventional training methods, the company said.
