As part of the development process of the Alpine Troops' capabilities and in particular in that of using simulation as a training and data acquisition tool, an exercise activity was held on Tuesday at the TerraXcube climate chamber in Bolzano.

In an environmental context aimed at simulating adverse climatic conditions both for temperature (- 25 °) and for wind, the Alpine 5ths and the Meteomont service specialists conducted a series of tests aimed at validating the use of vehicles and materials in use by mountain rescue specialists and team men who work daily to detect data and conditions of the snowpack.

The training tests, coordinated by the TerraXcube technicians, aimed to recreate operational situations that can only be reached in the high mountains and are difficult to control and repeat.

The information obtained will be useful for improving the training skills of the Alpine Troops. Simulation is now an essential element for the training and preparation of units. The use of excellences such as TerraXcube guarantees the FA the optimization of resources, an effective and realistic preparation and above all a good reduction of the environmental impact.
