This is a Weapons Simulator Data Sheet that specifies facility requirements and technical specifications for a computer-based marksmanship training simulator installation.

The facility must accommodate a Meggit's FATS 100MIL simulator with a minimum ceiling height of 10 feet 0 inches. The space requires hollow metal doors measuring 3 feet 0 inches by 7 feet 0 inches with keyed lock sets and kick-plates. Walls must be concrete or CMU with paint finish, while flooring consists of sealed/stained concrete or tile with a two-foot raised firing platform. The base uses vinyl or rubber, and the ceiling requires acoustical tile. Environmental systems include air conditioning and heating, automatic sprinkler fire protection per UFC 3-600-01, and 120V convenience outlets with a dedicated circuit for the simulator system. Lighting must feature dimmable fluorescent or LED fixtures (50 foot-candles) with ceiling-mounted occupancy sensors. The facility requires one communication outlet each for telephone, data, and CATV at the front, with a minimum Sound Transmission Class rating of 50 for walls and doors per UFC 4-179-02.

The simulator installation includes commercially purchased projection-based simulator system components, desk with chair, computer, and simulator instructor booth. The data sheet indicates that the simulator module is the preferred module type and can be deleted based on specific base installation requirements. Actual simulator requirements must be validated upon installation.
