Pakistan Army is inducting 10 units of artillery simulator systems made by HAVELSAN of Turkey. The simulator provides forward observers and fire management personnel with required training which makes them capable to use artillery fire power in desired place and time.

Purposes:

On different land images, with fixed and moving targets, constituting scenarios, target determination and making fire request. Creating real battle environment with image and sound effects. Having used every caliber mortar and compositions of bullets and fuses; their effects on target have been investigated.

--To form scenarios with static and moving targets on various land views

--To create a working environment in real battle conditions with image and sound effects

--To use artillery weapons in every diameter and various bullet /stopper combinations

--To learn Target Assesmnet, Fire Request, organization and management of firings


Facilities and Capabilities:

• Various land/terrain on an image, create scenarios with fixed and moving targets,
• Observer of the target detection training,
• Fire requests, training,
• Fire arrangement and management training,
• Forward Observer and Fire Administration to improve coordination between Center staff,
• using a combination of targets to the impact of surveillance,

Technical Specifications:

• Laser Distance Measuring device has been simulated,
• binoculars to be simulated,
• Fire Accounts and simulation of the impact of environmental conditions,
• Visual and audio effects and a realistic combat environment in the field,
• Customizable 3-D synthetic training lands,
• High resolution DTED / satellite images and 3D models,
• Target on the calculation of the effects of weapons and ammunition,
time, training costs and savings from the arsenal was developed and designed for this purpose

ASIAN DEFENCE: HAVELSAN Artillery Forward Observer Training Simulators for Pakistan Army
 
awesome so we are getting edge in artillery :pakistan:, thanks for article MiG
 
nice way to train artillery men without spending on real live exercises!
althoug the system itself would be comming for a good amount but it is worth as it will make up for the budget by reducing live firing training!

good going!!

regards!
 
it wont be such a replacement for sure as to completely stop live training, but this surely will help observer and target accquisition training!

regards!
 
2 of the such systems are already installed and running in school of artillery nowsharra.
 
yes correct the installation at Nowshera.

the sniper training module is excellent platform as well, as it would save a lot of resources in the long-run and these simulators are powerful at re-constructing almost 100% real-life situation on battlefield
 
But I dont think anything can replace live training. I think we should keep training as priority rather than money.

Kinda of nice to have people practice on a simulator before they try calling in live fire though, some mistakes you only make once.

A controller had been using a hand-held GPS receiver, whose battery failed. On replacing the battery, the unit reinitialized to show the controller's own position, not the offset from it he had been targeting. He passed the coordinates to a B-52 crew, who had no way of knowing it was the wrong position. They entered it as given, and the JDAM flew accurately and unfortunately onto its own controller's position

Awsome news!


well this is i guess "height of bad luck" :)

fell sorry about the poor soul,,,
it is really horrible to taste the devastation of your own weapons!

regards!

The simulators are not a replacement of life fire trainings, but a tool to keep crews updated, teaching them different scenarios and battle techniques.

The aim is to get the crews to the best training standards possible, with various threat environments simulated.
