Concept Smoke Systems Supports DIO and Landmarc at Copehill Down to Enhance Urban Warfare Training
Enhancing Urban Warfare Training at Copehill Down Village
Concept Smoke Systems is proud to have supported the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) and Landmarc Support Services in delivering more immersive and effective military training environments at Copehill Down Village—one of the UK’s most renowned urban warfare training facilities, located on Salisbury Plain.
Realism Through Advanced Simulation Tools
Working closely with DIO and Landmarc, Concept supplied a suite of smoke generators, training aids, and power supplies, all designed to elevate the realism of exercises conducted at the site. These tools were deployed throughout Copehill Down’s mock urban setting to simulate complex, high-pressure environments akin to those encountered in real-life combat zones.
Immersive Combat Scenarios
The initiative, showcased by the DIO on LinkedIn, highlights how integrated training technologies can significantly enhance the preparedness of troops operating in dense, built-up areas. The smoke generators provided by Concept are capable of producing persistent, non-toxic smoke that reduces visibility, alters the sensory environment, and replicates battlefield conditions—challenging soldiers to adapt, communicate, and make decisions under pressure.
Supporting Multi-Sensory Training Environments
In addition to visual effects, the power systems and other training aids supported the use of lighting, sound, and environmental effects that further enhanced the immersion of each scenario. This collaboration exemplifies the ongoing commitment of DIO, Landmarc, and Concept Smoke Systems to delivering world-class training infrastructure to the UK’s armed forces.
Preparing Forces for Modern Conflict
By contributing specialist equipment and expertise, Concept Smoke Systems helps ensure military personnel are fully prepared for the operational realities they may face—transforming static facilities into dynamic training grounds that reflect the ever-changing face of modern conflict.
