Turret Trainer (TT)

Krauss-Maffei Wegmann

The KMW Training & Simulation (T&S) Turret Trainer is used for the training of the entire turret crew of an armoured fighting vehicle. The focus of the training is related to the proper operation of the weapon and fire control system by the commander, gunner and loader in basic gunnery training.

This trainer can also be used for a drill-type repetition training of the crew in the operation of the weapon and fire control system.

The failure input system makes it is possible to simulate system faults or malfunctions. In this way the crew is trained in emergency procedures.

The integrated weapon simulator allows the realistic training of the loader’s procedures. All elements required for the use of the main weapon 120 mm or 30 mm have been realized. The complete functionality of the real weapon system is reproduced so that the performance of the loader can also be measured for several loading procedures.

The open mechanical structure of the equipment allows the instructor and other trainees an optimal view such that the entire group participates in the training.

Through the extension of the turret training equipment with a simulation environment, training up to combat training by networking with other driving or gunnery simulators will be possible.
