DESC:4. DESCRIPTION
Technical Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to the field of educational and training means. More particularly it relates to a containerized basic gunnery simulator system for improvement in training of raw trainees and commanders in various functions.

Background of the Invention

The T-72 is a Soviet-era main battle tank that was first introduced in the early 1970s. It was designed to replace the T-62 as a cost-effective and more advanced tank, capable of withstanding the latest Western tanks of the time, such as the American M60 and German Leopard 1.

The T-72 has seen extensive use in conflicts around the world and has undergone several upgrades over the years to improve its capabilities. It has a 125mm smoothbore gun that is capable of firing a variety of ammunition types, including armor-piercing and high-explosive rounds. The tank is also equipped with a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun and a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun.

The T-72 is known for its relatively low profile, which makes it harder to spot and target, and its advanced armor protection. Some versions of the tank are also equipped with reactive armor, which can reduce the effectiveness of anti-tank weapons.

Some of the complexities of the T-72 tank range that may require specialized training include:
• The tank's armor protection: The T-72 is known for its advanced armor protection, which can make it difficult for anti-tank weapons to penetrate. However, trainees will need to understand the limitations of this protection and how to position the tank for maximum protection.
• The tank's gunnery system: The T-72's gunnery system includes a 125mm smoothbore gun, as well as a range of ammunition types and targeting systems. Trainees will need to understand how to use these systems effectively and how to identify and engage different types of targets.
• The tank's mobility and terrain capabilities: The T-72 is a tracked vehicle that is designed for operation in a variety of terrain types. Trainees will need to understand how to operate the tank in different environments, such as mud, sand, or snow, and how to navigate obstacles such as hills and ditches.

There exist simulators available for training gunners on the T-72 tank. One example is the T-72 Tank Simulator developed by Bohemia Interactive Simulations. This simulator provides a realistic 3D environment and allows gunners to practice aiming, firing, and other essential skills. It also includes a range of scenarios and mission types to help train gunners in different combat situations.

Another example is the T-72 Tank Gunnery Simulator developed by Advanced Interactive Systems. This simulator includes a realistic replica of the T-72 tank and provides a range of scenarios and mission types to help train gunners. It also includes features such as accurate ballistics modeling and realistic weapon and vehicle behaviors.

Other companies that provide T-72 tank simulators include VirTra, Simulated Training Solutions, and Elbit Systems. These simulators can be used by military personnel for training and also by enthusiasts who want to experience the T-72 tank in a simulated environment.

Some prior art patents for T-72 simulators may include:
• US Patent 5,820,246: "Tank Gunnery Training System," which describes a simulator system for training tank crews on gunnery skills, including a simulated tank gun and a computer-generated environment.
• US Patent 6,162,053: "Apparatus and Method for Interactive Tank Gunnery Training," which describes a system for simulating tank gunnery training using a combination of real-world equipment and computer-generated images.
• US Patent 7,271,926: "Virtual Training System for Vehicles," which describes a simulator system for training vehicle crews on driving, gunnery, and other skills, using a combination of real-world equipment and computer-generated images.
• US Patent 7,647,948: "Tank Gunnery Training Simulator," which describes a simulator system for training tank crews on gunnery skills, using a simulated tank gun and a variety of computer-generated scenarios.
• US Patent 8,469,733: "Simulator for Training Tank Crews," which describes a simulator system for training tank crews on a variety of skills, including gunnery, driving, and situational awareness, using a combination of real-world equipment and computer-generated images.

Based on the complexities of the T-72 tank and the gap prior art patents and simulators posing, inventors of the present invention found a dire need of accurately replicating the tank's gunnery system, including its advanced targeting systems and ammunition types. Another challenge inventors of the present invention identified is simulating the tank's mobility and terrain capabilities, particularly its ability to navigate challenging terrain types.

The prior art patents and simulators listed tried addressing these challenges to varying degrees, using a combination of real-world equipment and computer-generated images to create a realistic training environment. However, they have limitations, such as replicating the tank's gunnery system, difficulties in simulating challenging terrain types, and providing a truly immersive and realistic training experience.

The present invention described address these challenges through the use of a containerized system with a motion platform and a range of advanced simulation features.

The present invention replicates war tanker simulator designed and developed to meet the standard training requirements of gunners through Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) simulates battlefield conditions and the audio system produces the sounds of battlefield and firing.

Furthermore, the said system calculates the errors made by trainees during different drills and exercises. After an exercise, the performance evaluation report can be seen and printed, which helps gunners identify their shortcomings and improve their skills.
