Combat Operations Simulator for Training the MTLB Driver-Mechanic

About the simulator

The static training simulator for preparing MTLB mechanic-drivers is designed to develop cadets' skills in operating the controls of the MTLB and vehicles based on it, as well as to study the sequence and correctness of the mechanic-driver's actions when operating the combat vehicle at the initial stage of driving training in a classroom setting. The MTLB simulator includes a computer-mechanical model of the MTLB driver's control units and specialized software.
Computerized Mechanical Mock-up of the MT-LB Driver-Mechanic Control Interfaces
Designed to study the sequence and correctness of the mechanic-driver's actions when operating a combat vehicle during the initial stage of driving training. The mock-up ensures that the sizes and placement of equipment correspond to the actual dimensions and locations of the main control elements for the mechanic-driver, as well as matching the range of movements (travel), forces, and feedback of the control element models (levers, pedals, switches) to the characteristics of the real MT-LB equipment. The model includes a steel frame, a table, a driver's mechanic seat, a mock-up of the steering control levers, a mock-up of the gear shift lever, a mock-up of the fuel pedal (gas pedal), a mock-up of the clutch pedal, a mock-up of the brake pedal, a mock-up of the parking brake switch, a computing unit, a main monitor, an auxiliary touchscreen monitor, a keyboard, a mouse device, and an audio system.
