Live Combat Training System (LCTS)

Land Forces Training Systems

Elbit Systems' Live Combat Training System (LCTS) is an advanced and comprehensive solution for joint tactical force-on-force live training.

This innovative system offers a realistic and unified live training environment, fully independent and easily deployable, making it highly efficient for training in various terrains, including urban areas, without the need for on-site installation.

The LCTS is a fully integrated training system that combines laser suites for dismounted infantry and armored vehicles, along with independent broadband communication and control center capabilities. This combination of innovative technologies and software results in an authentic arena environment that provides the utmost in realistic battlefield training.

The LCTS enables efficient combat training in various terrains – including urban areas – without the need for complex on-site installation. With the aid of advanced mobile broadband communications, the system simulates both direct and indirect weapon effects, as well as the monitoring and analysis of training exercises. Fully scalable, the LCTS can accommodate a large number of trainees, weapons or platforms.

LCTS is a live training system providing true-to-life battlefield conditions and a high-fidelity replication of weapons and tactical engagements. Designed to provide the utmost in realistic battlefield training, the system combines innovative technologies and software resulting in an authentic arena environment.
