The U.S. Marine Corps wants to update the military branch’s force-on-force shooting simulation system to accommodate replication for arcing shooting, Marine Corps Times reported Tuesday.
The branch aims to increase the capacity of laser systems to replicate the weight of bullets, a factor critical to simulating shots from mortars and grenade launchers, the report said.
USMC’s proposed Optically Based Small Arms Force-On-Force Training System would serve as the branch’s third-generation shooting simulation technology and replace the current Instrumented Tactical Engagement Simulation System.
The branch expects to launch a solicitation for the new system in late 2018.
