Description
The Improved-Stinger Trainer Proficiency Trainer is based on the COTS designed Virtual Stinger Trainer (VST). The system is a Virtual Reality based CBT MANPADS training device that provides the latest accepted training capabilities in support of the ADA community for the Stinger Team Crew Training. It supports portable or fixed training sites. The Improved STPT v2 provides Stinger Team (Team Leader and Gunner) operational and tactical training within a 360º immersive, realistic battlefield environment (to include VACR). The I-STPT v2 instructor station provides selection of instructor defined training vignettes (scenarios) to include varying terrain (Desert, Forest, or NCR), moving aircraft targets and countermeasures. The I-STPT v2 includes a detailed AAR/scoring presentation of Gunner actions (IFF, super elevation, correct aim point). The system is currently restricted to indoor use only and limited to single team training. I-STPT v2 supports the After-Action Review at the IOS station. The Air Defense Artillery STINGER training requirements have been incorporated into the I-STPT v2 upgrade
