Training & Simulation
Battlefield Smart Hub
Wescom Defence Battlefield Smart Hub brings together launchers, pyrotechnic (weapon) effects and a command module that allows programming/preprogramming of battlefield effects.
Wescom’s weapon effect systems have standalone capability as well as a range of interfaces to enable complete integration into modern combat training centres.
The range of realistic weapon effects that can be replicated include:
- Small Arms Effect – Single, Burst and Salvo
- Improvised Explosive Devices (IED)
- Unexploded Ordnance (UXO)
- Mortars and Artillery – Air Burst Effect
- Man Portable Air Defence
Operational interface
- Trigger input (5-36V DC)
- 20mA READY-TO-FIRE-OUT
- Radio (433MHz/315MHz/458MHz)
- 2 x RS 485 (daisy chain)
- Ethernet (prepared)
- CAN Bus (prepared)
