About UMS
UMS designs and manufactures reconfigurable, high-fidelity motion simulators for military driver training. Our core product is the Reconfigurable Driver Simulator (RDS), a highly dynamic motion platform that includes a six degree of freedom robotic arm, interchangeable replica vehicle cabins, haptically enabled control devices, and immersive simulation environments.
The RDS features detailed vehicle dynamics and terrain modeling. We have delivered six RDS systems to the Australian Army for use at their driver training facility in Puckapunyal, Victoria. Additionally, we have secured contracts to replicate and simulate other Australian Army vehicles, such as the M1 Abrams main battle tank, for driver training purposes.
