Impediments to Effective Use of the Small Arms Trainer: 84mm Short-Range Anti-Armour Weapon (Heavy) and C9A1 Light Machine Gun

Abstract

Difficulties encountered during validation trials of the Small Arms Trainer (SAT) C9A1 light machine gun and Short Range Anti-Armour Weapon (Medium) (SRAAW(M)) simulations are documented. Sources of difficulty included the way the SAT was handled by users, integrating SAT sensors with the SRAAW(M), design of SAT components, SAT facilities, and programming errors in the C9A1 serials. Improvised solutions are described and long-term solutions are recommended.
