Reiser Simulation and Training Secures New Contract for NH90 Sea Tiger Maintenance Training Rig (MTR)
Reiser Simulation and Training recently received a new NH90 maintenance training rig (MTR) contract for the German Navy. The state-of-the-art training system will replicate the latest NH90 Sea Tiger helicopter, a model set to join the Navy’s fleet starting in 2025.
The MTR is a full-scale replica of the NH90 helicopter, meticulously designed for maintenance training. Reiser will capture and re-engineer nearly all components of the NH90 to create a highly realistic and functional training platform. The training rig covers more than 1,000 standard and special training procedures. These include engine replacement and emergency folding of the main rotor blades.
Reiser has a proven track record in this field, having successfully delivered four MTRs to the Germans and two to the French Armed Forces in 2010. Additional units have since been supplied to the German Air Mobility Training and Exercise Center, the German Navy, and the Australian Defence Force, highlighting the global demand for this innovative training solution. Reiser thus provides a cost-effective, sustainable, and reliable alternative to using real NH90 aircraft for maintenance training, and ensures that operational helicopters remain operational.
The new project started on Nov. 7 with a two-year timeline.
Dr. Johannes Hain, Reiser CEO, states, “This contract reflects the customer’s continued trust and satisfaction in our innovative MTR approach. With each new project, Reiser reaffirms the commitment to delivering high-quality training solutions tailored to the evolving needs of military operators worldwide.”

Immersive Display Solution to Partner with Vrgineers to Showcase new Somnium VR1 Solution
Immersive Display Solutions Inc. (IDSI) and Vrgineers recently announced collaboration on the new Somnium VR1 mixed reality (MR) headset. IDSI will be showcasing the VR1 headset as the role player in a Joint Fires training scenario.
Vrgineers’ Somnium VR1 is today’s most user-friendly MR headset. Known for its affordability, durability, and TAA compliance, the Somnium VR1 offers impressive 3K-per- eye resolution, 4K MR cameras, and SteamVR tracking with embedded UltraLeap hand tracking. This all-in-one headset features custom hybrid cables, extending up to 16.4 feet (5m) with metallic and optical lines to ensure latency free MR experiences over longer distances.
“We are excited to showcase the potential of mixed reality, in this case in the JTAC training. We believe the Somnium VR1 fills a crucial gap in the market, offering an affordable yet professional solution,” says Marek Polcak, Vrgineers CEO.
“IDSI is pleased with how quickly the VR1 integrated with the Rave Renderbeast,” said George T. Forbes, Jr., CEO of Immersive Display Solutions. “We believe that the combination of Somnium VR1 with RenderBeast delivers the training performance that our customers require.”
Demonstrations will be powered by MACE and ARMOR developed by Battlespace Simulations Inc. (BSI). ARMOR provides advanced 3D visualization capability allowing trainees to enhance situational awareness and mission
rehearsal
by observing and interacting with simulated environments in real time. MACE is the core electronic warfare simulation functionality.
Additionally, they can connect directly with
Vrgineers’ newly released Generic Classroom Trainer, delivering a turnkey solution for comprehensive training that integrates pilots, command & control, and JTACs.
