Kharkiv Morozov Machine-building Design Bureau offers the advanced method or army personnel training - BMP-2 crew training simulator

Use of the simulator while training the BMP-2 crew in comparison to direct training in the vehicle without deterioration of training quality, enables to:

• work out exact skills in trainees actions
• avoid damage of the combat equipment during erroneous actions of trainees
• reduce the cost of training due to saving of fuel, operation life of combat equipment and ammunition
• exclude accidents while training the BMP-2 crew
• conduct training of both the complete crew and driver, gunner and commander separately

In the process of training the trainees can perform the following exercises:

BMP-2 driver:

• pre-start preparation, start up and engine warming
• BMP-2 driving at the test track with different profile, type of terrain, in day and night time, under different weather conditions, negotiating the obstacles

BMP-2 gunner and commander:

• firing the gun and co-ex machine gun from static and on move, in day and night time, under different weather conditions
• ... as well as
• to study the general composition, operation, fundamentals of operation and maintenance of systems, assemblies and assembly units that are arranged at the BMP-2 crew stations
• work out the interaction of crew members while using the intercom means
• work out the BMP-2 crew actions in emergency operation conditions of systems, assemblies and assembly units

While training the instructor can:

• select the type of the exercise
• set up initial conditions for execution of exercises
• simulate emergency situations
• control the trainees actions while using the intercom and loud speaking means of communication
• control and change the position of the BMP-2 on the route
• control the field of view of sights and observation devices, conditions of indicators and controls
• control and change the location , number and type of targets on the terrain map
• selectively store the trainees actions with their mistakes in the data base
• play back and analyse the stored actions of trainees on the monitor screen
• print out the test results of the exercise

The simulator includes:

Driver’s module, consisting of:

• Dynamic platform that provides for movement of the cabin in three coordinates
• Cabin, housing the driver station with functioning controls, test instruments, intercom, observation devices, etc.

Gunner and commander modules, consisting of:

• Dynamic platform that provides for movement of the cabin in three coordinates
• Combined cabins, housing gunner and commander stations with simulated operating sights, observation devices, commander and gunner panels, intercom, etc.
• The gunner and commander modules can be supplied both in combined variant and separately, with installation of each of them on the individual dynamic platform
• Instructor’s desk is a working desk with monitors and manipulators of “mouse” type
• Control system equipment includes the following:
• Workstations, built on the basis of the advanced Intel processors and Nvidia graphic controllers, which are meant for operation of mathematic models and visualisation
• Interface unit is designed for interfacing of operation of mathematic models, simulated devices and dynamic platform
• Software is made on the basis of Windows family operation system and includes:
• models of functional logic of complete equipment, arranged at the stations of the BMP-2 crew members
• models of the BMP-2 moving parts models
• models of the vehicle movement on the ground
• sound models
• 3-D highly zoomed model of the road situation with photo realistic textures, 3-D highly zoomed models of targets, etc.
• Power supply
