Howitzer Crew Trainer
The Howitzer Crew Trainer enables training with fully-simulated guns and ammunition, from the technical gunnery level to the full battery operation level. The system includes an instructor's station, training ammunition designed to look and feel exactly like live ammunition, and the simulated howitzer. The client's actual C2 system (or a simulated one) and other devices are incorporated in the HCT.
All parts are fitted with and controlled by sophisticated sensors and software, so as to realistically simulate the operation of a genuine self-propelled howitzer. Almost all of the activities and procedures carried out by the trainees are recorded, in order to enable a complete and comprehensive AAR.
Bagira Systems cooperates with Van Halteren Metaal BV (VHM) in the development and operation of howitzer simulators like the HCT.
