My two major concerns. First, if training inexperienced shooters with live ammo, you will have people who experience the "fog of war" despite the fact that it is a training exercise. Huge potential for negligent discharges or improper target acquisition resulting in deaths. Second, more deaths as a result of ricochets off the targets, ballistic carriers and an all around uncontrolled environment. For those of you out there who have worked many different ranges, you have seen ricochets and blow backs are completely unpredictable and a serious problem. Worked on a outdoor range in the Middle East some years ago a where an instructor a few students down from me took a chunk of lead to the forehead as a result of blowback. Had to get it surgically removed. One of our guys running a domestic range took a round in the eye. His student put one in the ceiling and it ricocheted out of a baffle that had a scoop shaped indentation caused by an earlier round. Knowing these things, I wouldn't touch this kind of training because a court of competent jurisdiction would rule these problems should have been easily foreseeable by a competent and professional firearms instructor.
@@hectorportillo1906 Why do you ask? This is a training video. My comment is specific to the hazards and liability thrust upon trainers in a training environment. If I had to guess, you consider some of your past experiences to be "outside the wire" and as a result more legitimate than anybody else's. This training is not "outside the wire" and as a result the liability, danger and responsibilities of trainers and their organization when it comes to foreseeable injuries or death to candidates are the top concern. Yes, even beyond the perception of effectiveness for use in the operational environment. Techniques and tactics cannot make it to the hands of the candidates if they are being killed in training. Since your only response was an attempt to attack my qualifications to comment, I am concerned you lack the basic understanding of training development and the accompanying liability to developers and trainers.
@@grnhrntskato Ok, maybe this will help. 1: All training events are not 100% safe, ever. you have to understand combat troops training is different than civilian training. They train for war, thats it. Nothing more. This id taylored for combat troops going to war or shooters that will have to engage in some type of high stress shooting theater. 2: I can tell you never been to combat because you got asshurt. Safety is important but you cant just point out the safety issues in a training event whitout weighting in the training value of the event. This is not designed for grandmas and brand new shooters that do not understand the basics of range safety. 3: I have never seen a negligent discharge or unsafe actions during one of my ranges. If you let that happen you have failed to identify it as an instructor and you have failed. 3: Its doest matter how many courses you have taken to prepare for war. If you have not been there in war and in combat you have no idea what good and bad training is for it. Sorry man, you can not critizice something you have no idea about.
...The thing is, this not even nearly comes close an usual training system (laser module on the muzzle, and receptor at the helmet). Here you have rather stupid non armed things driving around doing nothing. While you otherwise have highly smart, human opponents, armed with all kinds of Rifles and LMG's.
However with these you are training live, there is a psychological difference with live training and sim. A good compromise is simunition however, these robots could have trouble with simunition as it doesn't travel with high velocity. There is always a compromise in training - and if you can develop a solution to live fire training that is hyper-realistic without compromising safety then I would invest :)
Ben Arrow As sayd Laser Modules on the rifle, blank cartridges, and laser receptor helmets. Thats how we train in Europe and propably also us etc. These targets seem stupid. And even if you might train marksmenship, it puts you in a really bad habit training, you try hitting them without caring about physical or visual cover. While with incoming training fire by smart humans with Rifles and LMG's, grenades etc, thats a totally diffrent and realistic training.
T1000? T40! T40 robotic smart target is built to operate on various types of terrain and requires minimal set-up on existing training ranges mil.ai/post34729
