Question 1

What is Reconfig?

Accepted Answer

Reconfig is a modular and reconfigurable training system designed for defence, public safety and civil preparedness. It uses movable and rotatable wall modules to create training environments that can be changed quickly, allowing one facility to support a wide range of layouts, scenarios and training objectives.

Question 2

How does the system work in practice?

Accepted Answer

The system is built around foldable, movable and rotatable inner wall elements that are assembled in a specific manner to allow them to quicly be repositioned to make different room layouts and scenario setups. Instructors can reconfigure the environment, adjusting complexity and training conditions without needing multiple separate buildings.

Question 3

How quickly can the layout be changed?

Accepted Answer

Layouts and scenarios can be changed within minutes, depending on the scale of the change and the selected configuration. This makes it possible to move efficiently between training iterations and reduce logistics and downtime between exercises.

Question 4

How many different room layouts are possible?

Accepted Answer

The exact number of possible room layouts depends on the size and shape of the building, but in practice the system enables several million combinations. Each wall element can be adjusted into multiple configurations and placed in different orientations. The combination of these variables across the interior walls creates an exponential increase in possible layouts.

Question 5

What types of training does it support?

Accepted Answer

The system is built for non-live-fire tactical and scenario-based training conducted by personnel or remotely operated platforms. It supports simunition, blanks, and other non-ballistic training methods, enabling everything from basic drills to advanced team-based scenarios.

Question 6

Why the need for room layout variation?

Accepted Answer

Because layouts and scenarios can be changed repeatedly, personnel are exposed to greater variation than in static facilities. This helps them train general principles and judgement that remain useful when the environment changes, rather than becoming dependent on rehearsed responses tied to known buildings.

Question 7

What does it require at the installation site?

Accepted Answer

The system requires only a flat sturdy surface (E.g. concrete) for deployment. This makes it suitable for a range of locations and allows training capacity to be established without the same level of permanent site development required by conventional fixed facilities.

Question 8

Can it be moved or deployed to another location?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The system is designed to be deployable and relocatable. It can be shipped in containers, assembled, dismantled and moved as needed, making it suitable for temporary sites, permanent bases and changing operational requirements.

Question 9

Can the system be scaled up or down over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because it is modular, the system can be expanded, reduced or reconfigured as needs change. This allows organisations to adjust training capacity over time rather than being locked into one fixed setup.

Question 10

How is it different from a conventional training building?

Accepted Answer

Unlike a conventional training building, Reconfig is designed to support multiple layouts and scenarios within the same footprint. This can improve area utilisation, reduce reliance on multiple dedicated facilities and lower both cost and environmental footprint over time. It also gives instructors greater flexibility to adapt training to changing needs.

Question 11

Does the building support breaching training?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the system can support several forms of breaching training through compatibility with third-party breaching modules, including solutions from suppliers such as Sweden Entry Tools (SET Breaching). This allows breaching elements to be integrated into the training setup. Compatibility and use will depend on the selected module, configuration and training method.

Question 12

Will the building stand up to rigorous training over time?

Accepted Answer

The walls are based on a steel frame with exterior panels clad in highly durable corrosion-resistant steel. It is designed for repeated operational use, high mechanical loads and frequent reconfiguration. Critical wear components are dimensioned with margin to support long service life, reliable function and minimal downtime.
