Advanced Gunnery Training System (AGTS)

Project Office: Product Manager for Ground Combat Tactical Trainers

MISSION:

To develop and sustain individual, crew and platoon precision gunnery skills to a level of proficiency that permits transition to live-fire training or combat gunnery.

DESCRIPTION:

The AGTS is a family of gunnery training simulators for vehicle commander/gunner teams for M1A2 System Enhanced Package (SEP), M1A2, M1A1, M1A1 SA, M1A1 FEP and LAV-25 vehicles. It is rapidly transportable and deployable and features a high-fidelity crew compartment replicating the vehicle’s turret and fire control system in both physical and functional aspects. The AGTS presents the vehicle commander and gunner with a full range of simulated engagement situations. The system trains both fully-operational and degraded-mode gunnery techniques under a wide variety of conditions. The pre-programmed, computer-controlled exercises vary in target type and number, range, vehicle and target motion, and visibility. The AGTS-based systems are capable of networking to provide section, platoon and company collective gunnery training. An After Action Review capability is provided for exercise management.
