Direct/Indirect Fire Cue Simulator APFSDS

The APFSDS cartridge is fired from the Light Gunnery Signature Simulator attached to the tank and delivers a glaring flash in the centre followed by small flares streaming upwards.

It thus offers the gunner the visual effect of hitting a steel target with kinetic energy penetrator.

APPLICATION

Laser-based “firing” during force-on-force training demands a visual differentiation between “firing” and “hit”. Most of today’s laser based firing simulators allow the selection of ammunition to engage an opposing tank, e.g. HEAT, APFSDS munitions. It is, therefore, essential to provide an accurate effect of hits caused by APFSDS ammunition.
