The soldiers wear "Quasar-style" simulation kit that registers a 'hit' and allows for more realistic battlefield scenarios as part of training exercises.

This Tactical Engagement System has a number of programmes that can deliver simulated live battleground exercises for groups. The system uses lasers on both heavy armour and light infantry and the MoD claims it is the closest thing to real war.
