reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA042120 | Open PDF

Abstract:

One of the more interesting applications of the visible laser is that of weapon simulation for military training. The laser produces several characteristics in a simulator that make it ideal for the training situation, such as, safety, cost savings, and immediate scoring feedback. Several laser weapon simulators developed an patented by the Naval Training Equipment Center are discussed. The basic concept, test and evaluation, and the final end product are presented for Tank Gunnery Trainer, Machine Gun Trainer, Howitzer Direct Fire Trainer, and helicopter Door Gunnery Trainer.
