Meggitt Training Systems Quebec will conduct demonstrations of its
industry-leading simulators and live-fire solutions during Rampart’s
Range Day and Expo at Stittsville Shooting Ranges on May 28, followed by
CANSEC 2019 at the EY Centre on May 29-30.
“At a time when members of Canadian Armed Forces and law enforcement
face increasing threats at home and abroad, Meggitt’s portfolio of
virtual and live-fire products helps maximize readiness,” said Ed
Duckless, president of Meggitt Training Systems Quebec. “Visitors to our
Rampart and CANSEC displays in Ottawa can experience how we enable
improved small-arms marksmanship, judgmental and collective skills.”
Rampart attendees will have the opportunity to view and fire at
Meggitt’s Stationary Infantry Target. The SIT is a
remote-controlled pop-up target actuator, capable of supporting a
variety of U.S. and NATO target silhouettes. The infantry target adapts
to a variety of range environments, infrastructures and operational
constraints, and does not contain hydraulic fluids, contaminants or
hazardous toxins. Lightweight and portable, SITs are easily transported
and stacked for deployment or storage. The SIT performs all standard
target commands such as expose, conceal, hit-fall, hit-hold and hit-bob.
The user can easily program any combination of commands in scenario mode
without affecting the default settings.
Meggitt products to be highlighted at CANSEC 2019 (booth 211) include:
-
Building upon Meggitt’s well established capabilities as the
small-arms trainer system of record for the Canadian Army, the FATS
100MIL is a major expansion in weapons training capability,
introducing revolutionary features such as advanced game engine 3-D
marksmanship, enhanced diagnostics with intelligent automatic coaching
and VBS3-based collective training. In addition, the FATS 100MIL
allows assignment of Meggitt’s patented wireless BlueFire®
weapons to each trainee. The FATS 100MIL forms the basis for
programs of record with the US Army, US Marine Corps and others. -
The GranTrap granulated rubber bullet trap utilizes soft
media to stop incoming rounds and capture them predominantly intact.
This minimizes airborne lead dust, averts back-splatter and ricochet,
and minimizes impact noise. The result is a cleaner and safer
environment for shooting ranges, maximizing bullet recovery and
recycling processes. -
The Multi-Function Stationary Infantry Target (MF-SIT) System with
LOMAH (location of miss and hit). The MF-SIT has the unique
ability to expose from multiple angles with a friend-or-foe target.
Movements are precise, dynamic and respond quickly to commands of
expose, conceal, slice and turn in any combination. In addition, the
MF-SIT will rotate a regulation infantry target through 360 degrees at
multiple angles. It can respond to hits; its automatic triggers
activated by shooter movements or a pre-programmed scenario. This
ensures that trainees do not anticipate target actions, which provides
a realistic environment for specialized training. The LOMAH system
adds shot scoring by measuring the precise time of a bullet’s
supersonic shock wave passing over a ballistically protected
microphone sensor array. It can be installed easily via a retrofit kit
or on new, LOMAH-capable Meggitt targets.
