The new center will support the operational integration of the ROEM (SIGMA) self-propelled artillery system and the LAHAV (PULS) precision rocket launcher system into the IDF Artillery Corps.
Under the contract, Elbit Systems will develop and deliver an advanced training infrastructure, including mission and driving simulators, training classrooms and dedicated facilities.

The project, Elbit says, will enhance the operational readiness and proficiency of IDF artillery personnel, shorten qualification and training timelines, and improve training efficiency while reducing resource consumption and wear on operational platforms.
