TacSim® With ACTS
Zen TacSim® and Zen ACTS™ are advanced laser-based training systems for realistic, mission-oriented ‘force-on-force’ exercises on actual terrain. They enable holistic training for soldiers and mechanized forces, offering seamless integration for ‘live’ exercises involving all arms and equipment.
Zen TacSim® :
A versatile system for mission rehearsals and tactical exercises, suitable for both outdoor and indoor environments.
- Real-Time Feedback : Wireless GPS, lasers, and sensors enabling real time feedback of location and activity
- Durable Design : Operates continuously for 36 hours with rechargeable batteries
- Comprehensive Training : Features include grenades, mines, and passive object sensors
Zen ACTS™ :
Designed for mechanized forces, Zen ACTS™ enhances combat readiness of armored vehicle crews :
- Scalability: Configurable for any force size and compatible to any MBTs and AFVs
- Realism : Simulates tactical, gunnery procedures, and two-sided combat drills
- High Fidelity : Integrates pyrotechnics and advanced sensors for accurate, immersive training
Both Systems can be fully integrated enabling all arms integrated training in live exercises.
Exercise Control (ExCon) :
The ExCon Module serves as the central command for Zen TacSim® and Zen ACTS™, enabling seamless planning, execution, and assessment of training exercises. It can be a computer based with multiple stations or on a ruggedized tablet for outdoor.
Features include:
- Mission Planning : ORBAT, enter trainee details, and plan scenarios
- Real-Time Monitoring : Configuring, planning and conducting
- Umpire Functions : Adjust kill/injury/health statuses, allocate weapons and ammunition, and monitor mission scoring
- Tactical Tools : Interactive map features for marking, annotations, and simulating virtual minefields or artillery/mortar fire
- CBR Capabilities : Incorporates Chemical, Biological, and Radiation scenarios for enhanced realism
- After Action Review (AAR) : Comprehensive event logs, replays, and detailed analysis for performance assessment
- Combat Score Metrics : Quantifies individual, team, and unit-level performance
- Base Stations : Communication base stations and repeater stations for increasing range
- Add–Ons : Simulated Hand Grenade, Land Mines, Improvised Explosive Devices, Claymore Mines, Gas mask for CBR, Observation gallery with 3D display of exercise etc.

Key Sub-Systems :
Zen TacSim® :
- Integrated Laser Units (ILU) simulate firing with precise range and deactivates upon ‘kill.’ Short range ILU for weapons with effective range up to 500 m and long range ILU for weapons with effective range beyond 500 m
- Soldier Harness includes sensors for hits, GPS modules, and communication systems. Rechargeable power pack including Hit indicator unit which includes health indicator, visual indicator and audio output
- Launcher Laser Units for weapon-specific configurations such as MGL, AGL and ATGM etc.
Zen ACTS™ :
- Laser Units (LU) compatible with both OSAG II & MILES Standard, simulate fire and find target range
- Sensor Units (SU) detect hits with 360° coverage and communicate with ExCon
- Pyro Unit for realistic smoke effects
Zen TacSim® and Zen ACTS™ ensure realistic, scalable, and objective training, preparing forces for mission success.
