Engagement Skills Trainer (FATS IV)

Interactive video simulator designed to aid Soldiers in the development of basic marksmanship
and combat engagement skills. Developed by Firearms Training Systems (FATS), the EST has the
ability to provide a multitude of training scenarios which include: basic rifle marksmanship (qualification
range), vehicular ambush, squad tactical training, military operations urban terrain (MOUT), and various law enforcement training scenarios. The current system uses air to provide the simulated recoil
in the weapons systems. Weapons supported include; M16A2, M249, M9, M60, MK 19, M203, AT-4, 4.2 Mortar and M2. The system has twelve lanes, which makes it ideal for training a squad of Soldiers or a tactical law enforcement team.  Camp Ripley has upgraded to the FATS IV system.

WEAPONEER


The Weaponeer is capable of simulating all of the BRM live fire scenarios without firing rounds. Immediate feedback is available for critiquing the Soldier's application of the integrated act of firing while using the Weaponeer device to include misfire procedures, and the four fundamentals of marksmanship.
1. Steady Position
2. Proper Aim (Sight Picture)
3. Breathing
4. Trigger Squeeze

GUARD FIST II is a computer-based simulator that projects images of various impact areas.  Targets are then superimposed on the image and Soldiers practice calls for fire.  Round impact is shown on the screen and Soldiers adjust fire using standards fire commands.  The system will accept grid, polar, and shift missions.  In addition to standard suppression and fire for effect missions, Soldier can also practice smoke and illumination missions.  The POC is the Scheduling NCO at DSN 871-7595, commercial (320)616-2709 or dma.state.mn.us/cpripley/index.htm.
