When the simulator turret rotates in a 360° big-screen projection system and internal and battlefield noises from different directions can suddenly be heard, then the simulation quickly becomes quite realistic to the crew.
Turret trainers from KNDS Deutschland are the ideal simulation solution for “training as you fight”
Ammunition bay
External part of the weapon simulator. The simulator turret contains a breechblock with a wedge for holding ammunition.
All-round view
360° projection system for the entire crew under the hatch (via vision block) or through the hatch for driver, loader and gunner
Limited field of vision
Dummy periscope for limiting the commander’s field of vision through the hatch
Limited field of vision II
Dummy of a remote-controlled weapon station for limiting the field of vision of the periscope and the commander through the hatch
Workstation
The simulator turret comprises the workplaces of the driver, loader and commander. The driver is housed in a separate driver station which is networked to the simulator turret via network connection.
Right there
The additional seats on the turret side enable the other training participants to follow what’s going on in the simulator from close proximity.
Performance characteristics of turret trainers
- Rotating turret replica for the turret crew
- 360° HD projection system
- View through vision block or hatch for the turret crew on the all-round view
- Simulation of command and control system and radio circuits
- Allows networking for training on platoon, company and battalion level and for practicing combat with integrated weapons.
Networked turret trainers from KNDS Deutschland are used by many armies worldwide in their training centres as top-level training devices for firing, combat and tactical training.
Training ammunition with real dimensions, weight and simulated effect
All turret trainers – whether for tanks or artillery – correctly replicate ammunition handling. They realistically factor in different charges and fuses, as well as malfunctions of the weapon system, ammunition and fuses.
