(M-CAT) Minor Caliber Weapons Trainer MK-19, 40mm Machine Gun

Abstract

The M-CAT is a simulator which can be used for both MK-19 and .50 cal machine gun training. It incorporates accurate threat simulation of stationary and moving targets on a large projection screen. The weapon's recoil, sound, tracers, rounds-in-flight and hits are simulated. M-CAT accurately simulates both trajectory and lead for correct scoring. No ammunition or special ranges are required making it safe and economical. Two M-CAT's were fielded for evaluation and have been accepted for use as permanent trainers. Keywords: Weapons training; Computer graphics; Video disc training.
