1996-1999

The key GAMER system sees the light of day. It is to set a new standard in military simulation and training.

1996

In 1996, Saab Training Systems was awarded a contract to develop two new BT46 antitank applications, Panzerfaust 3 and Milan, for the German AGDUS program. Simulator systems for the vehicles Wiesel MK and Wiesel TOW were also supplied for the AGDUS program.The BT 46 laser simulator for Panzerfaust 3 and Milan.

1998

The BT 46 laser systems enabled large training exercises and, as a consequence, created a need for a system to keep exercise organisers informed about exercise developments and situations. Large exercises also led to a need for a system allowing after exercise reviews and analysis. To meet this need, Saab Training Systems developed its GAMER system. GAMER includes a sophisticated array of computing and communications facilities, including GPS and radios mounted on all vehicles and soldiers as well as a central computer system to manage and present all the collected data. The first GAMER system was ordered by the US Army.

1999

The Small Arms Transmitter BT 47 was developed in 1999 in conjunction with the man worn infantry system BT 47 Lightweight Personnel Detection Device. The new multifunctional Laser Target Interface for use with target lifters was also launched in 1999.","Introduction of the new BT 47 small arms transmitter, the BT 47 LPDD and the Laser Target Interface.
