Preliminary User Feedback of a Prototype Bradley Fighting Vehicle M2A3/M3A3 Embedded Training System (BETS)

Abstract

This report documents three user evaluations of the prototype Bradley Embedded Training System (BETS) device. The BETS is an embedded gunnery trainer for the A3 version of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV). The BETS uses BFV vehicle controls and optics, and the same training device software as the already fielded gunnery trainer BATS, the Bradley Advanced Training System. Bradley personnel from Fort Benning and Fort Hood fired two gunnery exercises using the prototype BETS device and provided comments about the device and its potential capabilities. Users almost universally expressed very high positive opinions about the BETS prototype and its potential.
