VBS2 Simulation: Marksman MK1

Developed by Bohemia Interactive partner Virtual Integrated Simulations (VIS), the Marksman MK1 is a revolutionary new system that turns any scoped weapon into a training simulator. Combining durable and detachable Virtual Reality hardware optics with high-fidelity ballistic computer simulation, the Marksman MK1 offers a complete Marksmanship training solution. Training can be conducted with the same weapon that is used on operations. This facilitates realistic training, with inconsistencies such as trigger pressures and weapon weight distribution entirely eliminated.

Accurately-modelled environmental and ballistic effects allow training in dynamic scenarios, and in any real-world location. The MK1 system is completely deployable, with rapid setup and minimum footprint; training can be performed in barracks or in the field. It provides a cost effective solution that is flexible enough to meet most training needs.

The Marksman MK1 is supported by a comprehensive software system which allows fall-of-shot analysis, target analysis and trainee evaluation. This software is seamlessly integrated with VBS2.

The MK1 system can be enhanced by an optional VR Spotter Scope or VR Range Finding Binoculars and can be used in conjunction with the Call-For-Fire Trainer (CFFT) or Aircrewman Virtual Reality Simulator to facilitate complex integrated training such as engaging targets from a rotary wing platform, and participating as part of a broader Offensive Support fireplan.

The Marksman MK1 is also designed to operate within the new VIS 360 Immersive Dome System, enabling marksmen to shoot in 360-degree, high-res projected environments for total immersion.

Train like you fight. The future of marksmanship training has arrived.
