there is no smoke of gunpowder, but the situation is tense - the signal indicators are flashing continuously, and a series of combat commands are quickly transferred between the command platform and the simulation training equipment... recently, in the simulation training center of a brigade of the 83rd army group, the crew of a certain type of infantry fighting vehicle stared at the screen, ready to deal with the "enemy situation" at any time.
"left front, 'enemy' tank, destroy it!" at the commander's command, the driver quickly chose a hidden position, and the gunner quickly aimed and fired decisively. the crew of the infantry fighting vehicle worked closely together, and "shells" flew towards the "enemy" position one after another. at the same time, engineers went forward to clear the blocked road, and scouts remotely controlled drones to conduct close reconnaissance. all professional arms worked together to cooperate with the main combat unit in real time to carry out offense and defense.
the brigade leaders told reporters that simulation training, as a training method that simulates real equipment, real personnel and real scenes, is an effective way to accelerate the generation of actual combat capabilities. in recent years, they have vigorously promoted scientific and technological training, taking simulation training as an important way to improve the level of actual combat training, and have achieved good results.
"drilling in a small room" reduces costs and increases efficiency
a small room trained more than a hundred drivers, and a few screens trained dozens of sharpshooters. walking into the brigade's simulation training center, the reporter felt the charm of "technology +" and "network +". following the observation team, the reporter saw on a certain type of infantry fighting vehicle driving simulation training platform that corporal han fei was constantly switching his observation perspective and continuously correcting the vehicle's forward direction.
the instructor who was conducting the training said that one of the difficulties in the actual training was that some new drivers lacked a "sense of the vehicle" and could not accurately perceive the spatial position of the vehicle. now, through the simulation training platform, the driver can accurately judge the position of the vehicle from the perspective of the rearview mirror, left and right side perspectives, and panoramic perspectives, and gradually develop a "sense of the vehicle".
during the conversation, an observer walked onto a simulation training platform for a type of infantry fighting vehicle next to him and turned on the night mountain road driving mode. on the screen, the road was undulating, winding, and various obstacles were stacked. start, shift gears, refuel... with the roar of the "engine", the tank rushed out of the starting line like an arrow from a string. afterwards, the operator switched to complex environments such as deserts, jungles, and snow to experience training. after the training, the system evaluated and scored his driving operations in different scenarios.
an instructor told reporters that the simulation training system has completely changed the previous "one-on-one" teaching model of real vehicles, greatly improving teaching efficiency and significantly reducing equipment life loss.
if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. in recent years, the brigade has insisted on using technology to gain combat effectiveness. this simulation training center, which covers multiple professional categories such as armor, artillery, and air defense, has eliminated the difficulties of site and weather for actual equipment training, saved ammunition and fuel consumption, reduced the wear and tear of weapons and equipment, solved the problem of training support, shortened the talent training cycle, and significantly improved the cost-effectiveness of military training.
"keyboard battle of wits" to test command strategies
in the war game simulation room of the simulation training center, the red and blue sides stared at the computer screens. they closely observed the deployment of troops and speculated on the other side's tactical intentions in order to make quick deployment arrangements.
"from qualitative to quantitative, from one-way to two-way, wargame training has promoted the transformation and upgrading of command training and reshaped the ability and quality structure of commanders." a coach said that modern warfare has increasingly higher requirements for the ability and quality of commanders at all levels, and wargame simulation can accelerate the improvement of commanders' command and decision-making capabilities. zhao liang, a cadre of the brigade, said that in the past, it was not easy to organize full-element command training due to the constraints of venues, support facilities and other conditions. now, wargame simulation enables troops to easily organize and carry out such training.
the war game simulation room was filled with the smell of gunpowder. the big screen clearly displayed the battlefield situation map. the red and blue sides attacked and defended, and the situation was stalemate. the commanders of both sides fought back and forth. suddenly, the red infantry unit was intercepted and blocked by the blue side. seeing that the mission was about to fail and there was not much time left, the red side readjusted the action plan based on the data obtained from the second war game simulation and successfully resolved the crisis.
the brigade leaders introduced that the planning and adjudication of war game training requires the support of combat theory and accurate data. if commanders want to win, they must have a deep understanding of military theory and tactics, and be proficient in all kinds of combat data. at present, the brigade has applied war game training to multiple levels, and "technology +" has been extended to the grassroots level. the ability and quality of commanders at all levels have been improved, and the combat effectiveness of the troops has been effectively built.
virtual battlefield tests real strategies for winning
in the vr training room of the simulation training center, the reporter saw two groups of soldiers wearing vr glasses, engaging in a tense and fierce offensive and defensive confrontation. "bang, bang, bang..." a burst of dense gunfire rang out, and four fully armed soldiers filed in and broke into the target area. suddenly, a shell "exploded" next to a soldier. the soldier's headphones immediately heard a deafening explosion, and his eyes were blurred.
"putting on vr glasses and holding a rifle in hand, walking in an environment that is close to actual combat, i feel the oppression of the battlefield spontaneously," said the soldier.
"many training conditions that cannot be achieved in actual combat courses can be achieved with simulation training equipment." liu xiaoning, the sergeant squad leader in charge of organizing vr simulation training, said, "for example, enemies that suddenly jump out and firepower points in hidden areas can only be experienced in simulation training. simulation training makes the 'life and death test' ubiquitous and forges a new 'hinge' that integrates training and actual combat."
the vr training system has greatly improved the training quality and effectiveness of the brigade. it is understood that this system can record the combat actions of each soldier and evaluate the effectiveness of the action based on tactical parameters, ammunition consumption, hit damage rate, etc.
during an exercise, the superior assigned a company of the brigade the task of seizing a key point. the company commander said that they had two plans for that mission, one was to cross a 200-meter-long forest for a frontal assault, and the other was to make a roundabout attack. which of the two plans was better? the day before the mission, they used the vr training system to organize a drill and verify the assault tactics. in the end, they chose the roundabout attack and successfully completed the mission at the lowest cost.
yang rui, a cadre of the brigade, told reporters that in the past, tactical exercises were a "big move" and difficult to organize. now, relying on simulation training, they can be practiced and verified every day.
from early single-equipment simulations to a simulation training center covering all professions and combat positions, simulation training has become an "accelerator" for the brigade's combat effectiveness.
