Deep Vision to explore live fire training enhancements
The UK Centre for Defence Enterprise has awarded Deep Vision a contract to explore a solution to enhance live fire training exercise effectiveness, the former announced on 5 February.
The project is aimed at supplementing current training efforts for small arms weaponry through the development of a novel system. This system will automatically observe and evaluate the shooter’s performance. This will help improve the effectiveness of small arms weaponry used by the navy when interdicting craft.
A single proof-of-concept system tracked remote-controlled training targets and detected the proximity of the shots that hit the water with respect to the target. This data was used for generating shooter statistics such as the number of missed shots and the bias displayed by the shooter, like continuous over-shooting.
Deep Vision is currently looking at how it can use this proof-of-concept system to develop a viable and valuable training tool.
