German forces receive Sagittarius Evolution
Thales has delivered the mobile version of the Sagittarius Evolution small arms trainer to the Special Forces Command (KSK) of the German armed forces, the company announced on 18 January.
The training system is an enhanced version of the AGSHP shooting simulator training equipment for small arms fire/handheld anti-tank fire used by German armed forces.
Up to two trainees can be trained simultaneously on the Sagittarius Evolution. The system is equipped with a wireless trainer station on a notebook computer and is installed in hardened rolling containers. It can be set up for operations within 15 minutes by two people.
Featuring a wireless simulation input device, the system allows for training with the Wirkmittel 90 low weight weapon by Dynamit Nobel before it has been delivered to soldiers.
Sagittarius Evolution simulates operation of the fire control visor as well as various types of ammunition, including explosives, illumination, fog and anti-structures munitions with their respective type-specific ignition modes and mode of action on the target.
