The Italian defense is on the field. Focus on innovative digital systems. The Army introduces the fourth generation of Virtual Battlespace software (VBS4), used in over 20 countries, supported by the Mantle system for high-precision 3D geo-spatial modeling, and by extended reality (POC XR) and drone data analysis (Drone Scene Cast) technologies. The Navy illustrates advanced simulators that reproduce the navigation and operational management of the latest generation frigates, allowing realistic training in controlled environments. The Air Force presents the Virtual Reality System (VRS) and Virtual Computer Basic Training (VCBT) systems, with a 30% increase in training effectiveness in preliminary tests.

The European move

At the European level, the Forum focuses on the Federates project, supported by a total investment estimated at 150 million euros, which aims to build interoperable training ecosystems, to ensure coordination between 15 allied nations. This collaboration aims at shared standards and reducing integration times between national platforms by 20%.

Wargaming

Wargaming takes center stage with presentations of platforms such as WinterStorm2030 and Aurecale, which integrate automation and artificial intelligence, improving strategic simulation and reducing operational costs by up to 25%.
