SPECIFICATION_-_Firing_Range.docx

Summary The required system provides computer-based graphics applications that provides lane-based targets for basic marksmanship practice with simulation of distance, environment and ballistics. Further, the system provides interactive video and graphics training simulation system, used to promote decision and action from students by displaying video scenes or graphical targets and responding to the student’s use of verbalization, tactics and simulated weapons. Instructors are also able to affect the outcome of scenarios by selecting alternate branches based on their assessment of the student’s overall performance and/or their use of verbal and tactical skills. The system further includes computer-based graphics applications that provide Dynamic Shooting Exercises with full-screen animated graphics exercises that incorporate judgment, marksmanship and tactical skills.
