Combat Simulator for Training the Operator of the NLAW Anti-Tank Guided Missile System (ATGM)
About the System
The multimedia simulator for the anti-tank missile system is designed for the training and practice of an "NLAW" ATGM operator, with the purpose of developing and reinforcing skills in visual reconnaissance, identification of aerial targets, aiming, and firing; on various types of terrain, under different weather conditions, within a training classroom environment.
The simulator includes: a training mock-up of the "NLAW" ATGM, VR operator equipment, automated workstation equipment for the instructor and operator, and specialized software for simulating combat conditions, titled "NLAW" ATGM Operator Training Program.

The computer equipment of the Trainer is installed with specialized software for simulating combat conditions: the "NLAW ATGM Operator Training Program."
This software is a set of specialized programs and electronic libraries designed for modeling and simulation:
- the operating principles of the controls of the NLAW ATGM used by the operator;
- comprehensive simulation of training and combat environments closely resembling real conditions;
- preparation and monitoring of the execution of training tasks.

The software and hardware of the Simulator as a whole ensure the accomplishment of the following tasks:
- Effective training of the operator of the "NLAW" ATGM within the scope of their functional duties;
- Simulation of the operator’s workflow of the "NLAW" ATGM with the ability to reproduce practical actions;
- Reconstruction of the terrain and background situation (sounds of missile launches, explosions, etc.) within a unified information environment, with their dynamic changes during task execution;
- Reconstruction of the operator's actions during the performance of their functional duties, including target identification, aiming, firing, and so forth;
- Simulation (visualization) of firing the "NLAW" anti-tank guided missile in accordance with designated targets: aiming, missile flight, and the effect of fire on the target;
- integration into higher-level simulator-modeling systems with the capability to transmit information about status, position, and task execution, combining several identical and/or different types of training systems (complex simulators) into a single information environment;
- The ability for the instructor to create a: sound-target environment, variants of task execution, weather conditions, season and time of day, meteorological shooting conditions, enemy influence, other conditions and factors affecting task execution, algorithms for changing the situation during task execution, behavior of neighboring units and the enemy (ground and air), civilian population, etc.; monitoring the task execution process from the instructor’s position with the ability to dynamically change the conditions of task execution during its course, to suspend or completely stop task execution at any moment, and so forth;
- Documentation of the progress and results of task execution.
