The Army currently is seeking its own replacement for the legacy shooting simulators.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/marinecorpstimes\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2021\/07\/27\/marines-finally-getting-a-realistic-force-on-force-shooter-for-combat-training\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Marine-force-on-force-training.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Marines finally getting a realistic force-on-force shooter for combat training<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Corps plans to buy and field 16 battalion-sized systems, starting in 2023.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saab.com\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2021\/saab-awarded-u.s.-marine-corps-contract-for-next--generation-live-training-systems\" target=\"_blank\">Saab Inc.<\/a> won the contract, potentially worth up to $248 million in 2021. Marine Corps Tactical Instrumentation System uses vests equipped with sensors to detect not only hits and misses but also track movement and location data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That information can be used for real-time tracking during training and after-action reviews using playback features. Such features will allow trainers and observers to accurately analyze user performance in force-on-force training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In early testing, the system could track the muzzle direction of Marines moving up floors of a building in an urban training site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new system also aims to solve some training challenges with both MILES and ITESS. Both are laser-based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lasers do a lot of things, but simple physics prevents users from accurately replicating bullets and other projectile ballistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first generation ITESS could handle 120 Marines and opposition forces, the second generation expanded that number to 1,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each Marine Corps Tactical Instrumentation System will have the capacity to handle a battalion-on-battalion fight, or an estimated 2,500 users, Marine Corps Times previously reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, users cannot lead a moving target when firing a laser, which is a must for hitting targets with real projectiles. Lasers can\u2019t simulate indirect fire such as mortars or artillery. And even the slightest of disturbances, such as tree leaves or shrubs can stop the laser from connecting with its target.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first location to
