The Indian Army is set to further bolster its training capabilities with the induction of additional 81 MM Mortar Simulators. These advanced simulators are designed to provide realistic and effective training to infantry soldiers, specifically focusing on Mortar Fire Controllers (MFCs) and Mortar Position Controllers (MPCs).
The 81 MM Mortar Simulator has been developed to meet the specific training requirements of the Indian Army’s Infantry branch. By utilizing computer-assisted training, the simulator offers a highly immersive and interactive learning experience. It enables simultaneous training for multiple trainees, allowing them to work together in a simulated battlefield scenario.
Key Features of the 81 MM Mortar Simulator:
- Realistic Battlefield Scenarios: The simulator employs high-resolution graphics and various visual effects, including day, dusk, night, and fog, to create highly realistic battlefield environments.
- Immersive 3D Terrain: The 3D visual scenario, complete with cultural objects, enhances the realism of the terrain viewed by the trainee Fire Controllers.
- Diverse Training Scenarios: The simulator offers a variety of databases with Geo-typical and Geo-specific terrains, allowing for a wide range of training scenarios.
- Integrated Mockup Mortar Launchers: The simulator incorporates mockup mortar launchers, providing hands-on training for trainees to practice azimuth and elevation adjustments.
- Night Shoot Practice: The simulator enables night shoot practice, allowing trainees to develop proficiency in operating the mortar system under low-light conditions.
By leveraging the 81 MM Mortar Simulator, the Indian Army aims to significantly enhance the skills and operational readiness of its infantry soldiers. The simulator will play a crucial role in training the next generation of combat-ready soldiers, ensuring the Army’s continued effectiveness in safeguarding the nation’s borders.
