Movement at night can be a highly successful tactic but it takes training to be effective. Warfighters need to learn how to react when hit with an explosion, what effect a blinding flash has on Night Vision Goggles and what measures are required to maintain control and accountability of soldiers.
The Flash Effects Simulator provides realistic Battlefield Effects to help prepare Warfighters for live combat situations at night. The intense visual signature provides a “flash bang” that simulates the confusion and shock of an explosion that can drown out all commands and momentarily rob sight. The blinding light and deafening report trains Warfighters how to react with practiced precision to insurgent attacks during evening raids. Non-pyrotechnic effects enable direct contact without the risk of injury from being too close to the simulated explosion during nighttime training.
