Zen Technologies Limited, a Hyderabad-based company that develops training equipment and simulators for weapons and allied defence equipment, has unveiled its combat training centre (CTC), at the Defence Expo (DefExpo) India 2016 being held in Goa.

The CTC is an integrated training complex configured to improve operational preparedness in both conventional and asymmetric warfare scenarios, the company said in a statement.

"With the threat scenario varying from conventional to unconventional (counter insurgency and counter terrorism), there is a need globally for integrated training solutions which can cater to a range of scenarios concerning a specific region. It will be our endeavour to play a pivotal role in providing the required training tools to security forces to tackle and neutralise both external and internal threats," said Ashok Atluri, managing director of Zen Technologies.
