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.
