This is a weapons simulator data sheet that specifies the facility requirements and equipment specifications for a computer-based marksmanship training simulator installation.

The facility must accommodate a minimum ceiling height of 10 feet 0 inches and include hollow metal doors measuring 3 feet 0 inches by 7 feet 0 inches with keyed lock sets and kick-plates. Interior finishes require concrete or CMU walls with paint, sealed or stained concrete or tile flooring with a two-foot raised firing platform, vinyl or tile base, and acoustical ceiling tiles. The space must be air-conditioned and heated with 120V convenience outlets and a dedicated circuit for the simulator system. Lighting specifications call for dimmable fluorescent or LED fixtures at 50 foot-candles with ceiling-mounted occupancy sensors. Fire protection requires an automatic sprinkler system per UFC 3-600-01, and acoustical requirements specify a minimum Sound Transmission Class rating of 50 for walls and doors with maximum noise levels per UFC 4-179-02.

The simulator system will be the Meggit's FATS 100MIL or equivalent, configured according to manufacturer specifications. Communication infrastructure includes one telephone outlet and one data outlet at the front, plus one CATV outlet at the front with base-specific configuration. Equipment includes a commercially purchased projection-based simulator system with desk and chair, computer, and simulator instructor booth. Special requirements note that the simulator module is a preferred but deletable module based on specific base installation requirements.
