Next-Generation Joint Command and Staff Trainer (CST)

Elbit System's Next-Generation Joint Command and Staff Trainer (CST) is designed to enhance the operational readiness of commanders and staff personnel up to the division level, as well as joint operations of ground, air and maritime forces. The system offers full connectivity to existing C⁴I systems and features an advanced virtual battle space scenario, while preparing commanders and staff officers for all mission phases. The trainer features real-time combat interaction models, target selection, collision avoidance and maneuvering.

CST simulates complex, joint operations in high and low-intensity conflicts, as well as operations other than war (OOTW), providing a complete virtual arena, including opposing forces, civilian population, infrastructures, open and urban terrains and weather conditions. CST’s modular and flexible software is installed on standard COTS hardware and meeting global training and simulation standards.
