Our product range includes simulation of all types of anti-tank weapons such as fire and forget, fire lead and ballistic missiles.

Modern anti-tank weapons do not always allow training with the weapon itself. As a result soldiers can end up with fragmented skills and inadequate training.

However, with the ATW Gunnery Trainer you will access a virtual training system that covers skills training from individual up to platoon level for anti-tank and heavy calibre weapons. The system provides high fidelity training in varied scenarios online instructor monitoring and after action analysis. The benefit is tangible – more experienced soldiers with documented skills.

Weapon Replica

The training system is fully integrated in the weapon replica with state of the art 3D overlays presented in the sight display. Missile characteristics and ballistics are replicated with high fidelity simulation.

Knowledge Management

After action reviews are available instantly after each training scenario and all scenarios are automatically scored according to predetermined performance indicators.

2-way systems

BT 46 2-way simulators are equipped with a display for visual user feedback and a speaker for verbal audio information and weapons sounds. This gives gunners instant feedback without forcing them to move from their firing positions, which enables efficient repetitive training. The presentation includes firing sounds, firing results, distances and corresponding hit coordinates.

1-way systems

The RPG is a 1-way, MILES compatible simulator developed for opfor and combat training. The AT4 is available in both 1 and 2-way versions.

AT4

The realism and experience provided by the AT4 trainer gives gunners performance confidence. Soldiers obtain all the necessary weapons skills, and in critical combat situations, benefit by these skills.

The AT4 trainer is transparent to gunners and takes them as close to live firing as you can get. It has the correct form, fit and function, including realistic weight, shape and balance. The simulator implements a sophisticated gyro-stabilized simulation that requires soldiers to apply correct weapons handling procedures, including distance estimation, lead angle and elevation.

Sophisticated gunner feedback

The AT4 trainer is equipped with a display for visual user feedback and a speaker for verbal audio information and weapons sounds.

Carl-Gustaf WES

Saab’s Carl-Gustaf Weapon Effect Simulator (WES) – either the M2 or M3 version – is the perfect choice for all aspects of weapons training. Training and experiencing weapons effects on all defined targets is an important feature.

The Carl-Gustaf Trainer benefits soldiers who use correct drills and procedures, and penalizes those who don’t. Procedural and realistic training for gunners as well as loaders is included in the system. Repetitively using real and correct weapon procedures gives soldiers the skills and experience required in real combat.

INTELLIGENT SIMULATOR GRENADES

The Carl-Gustaf Trainer concept includes intelligent simulator grenades, implemented for ammunition both with and without fuse settings, HE and HEAT. The loading drill replicates that of a live grenade and upon insertion, the simulator grenade automatically transfers the ammunition type and fuse settings to the simulator.

SOPHISTICATED GUNNER FEEDBACK

The trainer is equipped with a display for visual user feedback and a speaker for verbal audio information and weapon sounds.

INSTRUCTOR TOOLS

Instructors play an essential role in all training. The instructor tool gives them the capabilities to provide objective and timely feedback, both on the individual and collective levels. Instructor can plan, prepare, execute and evaluate gunnery training.

NLAW Weapon effects simulator

The Next Generation Light anti- Tank Weapon (NLAW) Weapon Effects Simulator (WES) supports all the needs for weapon training. Designed as an exact replica of the NLAW weapon system.

It ensures realistic training with an outstanding training effect. By being forced to use correct weapon handling procedures the soldiers’ gain experience and skills that is crucial for successfully solving their mission in a real combat situation.

ATTACK MODES

The simulator senses the chosen Attack Mode (Over fly, Top or Direct Attack). Based on the selected mode, the system will simulate the actual fl ight trajectory and missile behaviour.

SOPHISTICATED GUNNER FEEDBACK

The NLAW trainer is equipped with a display and speaker for feedback. The display provides the gunner with visual information such as firing results, range to target and hit coordinates.

Capabilities	• = Standard O = Optional
Surrogate weapon – actual shape, weight and balance	•
Requires correct weapon handling procedures including tracking and Attack Mode selection	•
Arming Distance simulation (similar to the real weapon)	•
Missile flight path and flight time simulation (replicates the real missile dynamics)	•

TOW 2 Trainer

Saab’s TOW2 Trainer is the perfect choice for all aspects of weapons training. The TOW2 Trainer is transparent to crews and takes them as close to live firing as you can get.

Soldiers are required to use correct drills and procedures, and those who don’t are penalized. Repetitively use of real and correct weapon procedures gives soldiers the skills, experience and knowledge to adapt and overcome in actual combat situations.

SOPHISTICATED GUNNER FEEDBACK

The TOW2 Trainer is equipped with a high fidelity optical feedback system.

OPERATING A FULL SPECTRUM OF MISSILE TYPES

Dummy missiles are used for reloading the TOW2 Trainer during training. The tube is equipped with electronics that tell the simulator what type of missile is loaded.
