Becky Vanshur\/Army)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staffers kit up aircraft and vehicles with equipment that records audio and video footage to the range tower in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That way, range operators can observe the crew not only from their perch, but also from the point-of-view of the crew and platform running the equipment. The operators can also see the target and where rounds are fired on the range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis gives the tower the ability to help coach the crew and correct any issues the crew may be having,\u201d said Maj. Joe Doyle, OCTC range officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crews can also watch footage of their own performance in recordings during after-action reviews to better tweak how they conducted the training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVideo doesn\u2019t lie,\u201d Doyle said. \u201cSoldiers and leaders will have the ability to go back and re-watch what they just executed like never before. This will help fine-tune points you can\u2019t see on most ranges and allow units to use the recording to prepare for future gunnery cycles and use it as a training tool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DAGIR range is used as a primary qualification range for AH-64 Apache helicopters and as an approved alternate range for both tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the digitization, operators can also simulate four vehicles working together with air support and unmanned aerial vehicles in the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A mock village on the range allows for dismounted operations and using Joint Terminal Attack Controllers in the training scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The range still awaits the installation of an aerial weapons scoring system, which is scheduled to be installed in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe efficiencies that will be gained from a truly world-class targeting range will improve the combat capabilities of all the units that train here,\u201d Godfrey said. \u201cI\u2019m very excited about the opportunities that this range will provide us in not only enhancing the training and proficiency of the tank, Bradley, Stryker and Apache crews, but also the speed with which the training will be completed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The range allows operators to see the crew, target and wider field
