NLAW Trainer

The document describes the NLAW Weapon Effects Simulator (WES) trainer. It is an exact replica of the NLAW weapon system that provides realistic training. It simulates the key capabilities of the NLAW, including predicted line of sight, attack modes, and missile flight dynamics. The trainer provides visual and audio feedback to evaluate performance without requiring trainees to leave their firing position. It allows for initial and tactical training while providing safety benefits over live firing. Instructors can also objectively evaluate individual and collective performance for after action reviews.

NLAW WES

A FULL SPECTRUM ATW TRAINER


The Next Generation Light antiTank Weapon (NLAW) Weapon
Effects Simulator (WES) supports
all the needs for weapon training. Designed as an exact replica
of the NLAW weapon system, it
ensures realistic training with an
outstanding training effect. By being forced to use correct weapon
handling procedures the soldiers
gain experience and skills that
is crucial for successfully solving
their mission in a real combat situation.
The NLAW trainer is transparent to the
gunner and takes him as close to live
fi ring as you can get. It has the correct
form, fi t and function, including realistic
weight, shape and balance. It simulates
the capabilities of the NLAW weapon
system including:
PLOS (Predicted Line of Sight) - the
NLAW trainer requires a correct tracking sequence to be performed, and the

gunner must use correct aiming techniques in order to hit the target. These
functions are implemented by using the
same functionality as for the real NLAW
weapon system.
Attack Modes
The simulator senses the chosen Attack
Mode (Over fl y, Top or Direct Attack).
Based on the selected mode, the system
will simulate the actual fl ight trajectory
and missile behaviour. Hit point and
lethality effects are determined by the target for every missile defi ned as a hit. The
target vulnerability takes into account the
chosen Attack mode as well as its own
protection levels.
The simulator implements a sophisticated
gyro-stabilized simulation requiring
soldiers to apply the procedures. It also
replicates the NLAW missiles guidance
electronics which records the soldiers
aiming movement until missile launch,
it calculates and predicts the simulated fl
ight path to the target. When launched,
the simulated missile dynamics replicates
the real missile. It requires the gunner to

follow standard army operating procedures for an engagement.


The NLAW can be used as a basic gunnery training system or in a tactical training exercise.
Weapon signatures are simulated by the
use of pyrotechnics, optionally a loudspeaker and visual cues can be implemented, well suited as fi re prevention
during dry seasons.
Sophisticated gunner feedback
The NLAW trainer is equipped with a
display and speaker for feedback. The
display provides the gunner with visual
information such as firing results, range
to target, hit coordinates, ammunition
quantities, training mode, BIT testing
and battery level status.
The speaker gives audio information and
weapon sound effects. This provides the
gunner with instant information and
feedback without forcing him to move
from the firing position. Efficient and repetitive training is one of the advantages
with these features.

Easy introduction
The simulator is a perfect tool for initial
gunnery training and experiential learning. The transparency of the solution,
replicating all live procedures, makes the
introduction to this training tool very
easy. The display and audio unit provides
instant feed back. After battery insertion,
the system automatically powers up and
within a few seconds and is ready for a
gunnery session or a combat exercise
Safety aspects
Safety for gunners and surrounding
personnel is a critical factor and has
had a major impact on the design of the
simulator. Also laser safety, unconditionally eye safe, and the use of a well-proven
pyrotechnic device give your forces the
most advantageous and safe training
system available.

Instructor tools
Instructors play an essential role in all
training. The instructors tool gives them
the capability to provide objective and
timely feedback, both on the individual
and collective levels. Each gunner can
be individually evaluated and given
instant feedback relevant to the specified training objective. Feedback can be
given both in real-time and as an After
Action Review (AAR). The software takes
into account event information such as
engagement times, aim coordinates, aiming procedures, hit information, etc. and
presents the data as statistical reports,
qualifi cation results etc. The feedback
can be viewed both on printouts and as
on-screen presentations. The on-screen
presentations can be interactive and
sequences can be replayed. With the real-

time feature, a larger number of gunners


can be monitored and instructed simultaneously by one instructor.
Modern, proven and in use
Using the latest technology allows international customers, including NATO
nations, to optimize weapons system
training.
