In current times, armed forces express increasing demands for firearms training. Most of the existing shooting ranges are limited in capabilities, hindering advanced individual and group exercises. In order to address these challenges, OBRUM, in collaboration with the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ) and technology partners, proposes the development of a New Generation Multimedia Shooting and Simulation Facility.
Concept Overview
The proposed facility may serve as a regional training center, leveraging the existing successful multimedia and live shooting range used by the Polish Armed Forces. The center is capable of catering to a diverse range of military and paramilitary organizations, including reserve forces, law enforcement, and high school students in military and defense programs. By providing local training, the center is aimed at enhancing the professional expertise of military personnel, but also to equip civilians with essential skills for mobilization scenarios.
Shooting Training Capabilities
The primary focus of the multimedia shooting range will be firearms training with soldiers’ personal weapons. The training includes various scenarios targeting both static and moving targets, additionally enhanced with animations and videos. The BlueBox technology allows trainees to engage in realistic drills against a silhouette of a live adversary. Live ammunition training closely simulates battlefield conditions, demanding a high level of focus from trainees. Lead-free, environment-friendly ammo is available to minimize ecological impact.
Weapon Training Simulators
The facility may feature multimedia target simulations, allowing for expanded training opportunities that incorporate various support weapons. Weapon simulators may integrate with the multimedia shooting range to facilitate operator training and squad coordination for support weapons, such as mortars. A software platform may enable the creation of a virtual battlefield, allowing simultaneous training with personal firearms and advanced weapon trainers.
Comprehensive Training Environment
Apart from practical training, the facility may provide theoretical classes in addition to practical drills to ensure safe weapon handling and maintenance.
