Excerpt: our partners
AOTM and VR-Goggles
AOTM is short for Advanced Ordnance Teaching Materials. Those are 3D-printed versions of either original ammunition or fuze types or of certain standard fuze principles, containing moving parts to show the mechanical or electronic actions inside a fuze or item of ordnance during arming and activation.
We are utilizing AOTM to allow students a much better understanding of the inner mechanics of explosive ordnance through physical action.
In future, we will enhance our training experience with virtual and augmented reality elements. To do this, we are closely cooperating with the Technical University Munich.
The EOD sample collection
Our EOD sample collection currently consists of more than 1500 items of fuzes and ammunition, ranging from landmines over projectiles, bombs and grenades to submunitions and accessories. The collection is open to students, subject-matter experts and to the interested public (visits can be arranged upon request)
Outdoor training area
The training facility features an outdoor training area of about 1000sqm, right outside the lecture rooms. We are using it for presentations and training experiences in a realistic environment.
