SUWANEE, Ga.-Thursday 31 January 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE) --
Meggitt Training Systems, the leading provider of integrated live-fire
and virtual weapons training products and services for armed forces and
law enforcement, will display a broad range of solutions on two stands
during the biennial International Defence Exhibition and Conference in
Abu Dhabi, UAE, Feb. 17-21, 2019.
“Meggitt
Training Systems offers our global customer base the ideal combination
of in-house military and law enforcement expertise, combined with local
support across our product portfolio,” said Andrea Czop, vice president
of strategy, sales and marketing for Meggitt Training Systems. “Military
forces in the Middle East and elsewhere need the most advanced virtual,
live-fire and integrated solutions to prepare for emerging and evolving
threats.”
On the International Golden Group stand (#04-C20), Meggitt will display the FATS® 100MIL simulation
training system. Chosen as the system of record by the US Army (EST II)
and US Marine Corps (ISMT), as well as the United Kingdom and
Australia, the FATS 100MIL is a major expansion in weapons training
capability, introducing revolutionary features such as advanced game
engine 3D marksmanship, enhanced diagnostics with intelligent automatic
coaching and collective training. The system provides an impressive
array of functionality for both instructor and trainee, delivering solid
weapon-handling and shot-placement analytics, coaching tools that
automatically highlight trainee results for reinforcement or correction,
and enhanced graphic capabilities for an all-encompassing immersive
training platform. The FATS 100MIL at IDEX will be complemented by a
selection of wireless BlueFire® and convertible BlueRail® weapons, including the AK-47 rifle, M4 carbine, Glock G17, Taser X26P and an 81mm mortar.
At
the US pavilion (#02-B31), Meggitt will showcase its extensive
portfolio of live-fire products. These include a dual Pop-up Turner
Target (TSIT), a 360° turning/pop-up target actuator capable of
displaying friend and foe silhouette presentations, plus LOMAH (location
of miss and hit) technology. Also on display will be the XWT ProImage®,
a compact video projector and camera system that attaches to Meggitt’s
XWT target carrier and moves downrange to any distance on the track.
Wirelessly connected to a 10” lane control unit mounted to the shooting
stall, the system projects interactive games, digital videos and images
that a shooter can upload onto white paper or cardboard targets.
Finally, event attendees can see a model of Meggitt’s GranTrap™
granulated rubber bullet trap that utilizes soft media to stop incoming
rounds and capture them predominately intact. This minimizes impact
noise and airborne lead dust, plus averts back-splatter and ricochet.
