Reconfigurable Desktop Trainer (RDT)

The first deployment of the RDT was on the Stryker vehicle program, where trainers were needed for the CROWS-J M153A4 and MCT-30 prior to the weapon systems deployment. The Protector RWS M151, the Raytheon TOW Weapon System and the Rafael Samson™ 30 Remote Weapon Station are also available.

The RDT provides crew level training with driver input, incorporates networked training with other RDT’s and vehicles, and can be used with other DIS compliant training aides and simulation systems.

The training system provides a realistic synthetic 3D environment with state-of-the-art visual effects and sounds. This enables the crew to perform tasks, drills and procedures, while manipulating a detailed weapon hand controller, and interacting with replicated touchscreen weapon control interfaces, and key driver gauges.

The RDT comes pre-loaded with multiple terrain databases and a wide selection of targets. Additional Terrain databases, Own-ships and Target entities can be easily added.

The RDT supports training with or without instructor supervision, allowing for greater flexibility in training management. Control of the training session can occur from a single station with all results recorded, and crews can progress at their own pace without continuous supervision. Training results and scores are maintained in the system database, accessible only by their respective crews and instructors. The training system accommodates both driver and commander stations for full crew complement training.
