User Guide Urban Training Package incl.
System Description The Urban Training Package is a upgrade kit to facilitate instrumented tactical urban training and enable instrumented players to be tracked inside buildings where normally they cannot receive a GPS signal. The package permits the simulation of indirect and direct fires on building occupants taking in to account varying levels of structural ballistic protection.
The system is designed for tactical urban training, typically up to company level. At the tactical level, instrumented players are depicted centrally in the room they occupy but not exactly where within the room. An instrumented urban exercise is viewed via the Command and Control C2 computer console in real time or in the AAR replay. The exercise map/aerial photo of the urban training area in the C2 node requires a 2D or 3D depiction of the site buildings to be loaded.
A SID is placed in each building of interest in an urban exercise where players are required to be tracked. A SID is programmed with the building characteristics via a software Building Setup Tool loaded in to a laptop and data transfer device called a WLN Adapter. Setup information is contained in Chapter 4. Room Association Device (RAD) The RAD is used to identify which room or zone an instrumented player has entered.
Structure Effects Simulator (SES) The SES is a device to enable the simulation of direct fire weapons effects simulators (DFWES) on building occupants in primary and secondary rooms. This enables for example an instrumented sniper in an up stairs room to be suppressed by a TWGSS or MILES 120mm main gun engagement.
3 Display symbol description The display symbols presented on the RAD display and on the SID display are: SID Display overview RAD Display overview Display Symbol (The Motion sensor symbol and the IR communication symbol are not available). Description Structure ID. Identifies the selected structure/ building. Room ID. Identifies the selected room. Motion sensor activated (only RAD). IR transmission activated (only RAD). IR Communication activated. Low battery status.
4 Setup The player field position is based on a GPS receiver. The WinExcon Building Setup Tool provides the player with additional data when inside or adjacent to a building in situations when signals from the GPS-satellites are unavailable or not reliable. The GPS position for each room or part of a (larger) room will instead be communicated to the player system from the added Urban Training package. This enables the player system to react independently to AWES in the same way as for outdoor positions.
To perform Setup of the system, necessary required GPS information and room attributes, has to be provided for chosen structure and rooms. The required information for each structure is: • Reference point for each structure (GPS coordinates). • RAF prio area for each structure (coordinates for P1 - P4). A selected area, where the GPS is not allowed to override the Room Association Function, when leaving building due to risk of bad GPS coverage.
2 To create a village, select File, New. Enter Name and Version. Click Apply. 3 To save the input, Select File, Save as. Select a File name and select the directory or storage area. Click Save throughout the Setup procedure continuously to prevent any information being lost. 4 To create a structure, Click Add. Enter only required information (ID, coordinates for Reference point and RAF prio area. Name is optional). Click Apply.
5 To create a room Click Add. Enter required information (Name, ID, Relative position, Attributes (AWES protection, wall type and room attributes) and number of RAD's required). Click Apply. To create a new room, Click New. 6 To enter information about SID location, select required structure and Click on the drop-down-list for the SID Location and select room. Click Apply. 7 Connect the cable to the serial port on the computer. 8 Check if the battery is installed in the WLN adapter.
Check if the battery is installed in the SID. If the battery is installed, take out the battery and wait until the display is turned off. Put in the battery again. Note! A communication time limit of 30 seconds is valid for programming the SID. If the time limit has exceeded, take out the battery and wait until the SID display is turned off. 12 To program the SID, Select Structure in the Navigator, Click Program SID. (If necessary, select Device and Port). 13 To start the transfer, Click Program .
5 Installation WARNING! Battery Hazard Follow standard procedure for use of Lithium batteries. WARNING! Do not install SIDs/RADs at a free-fall height greater than 3 meters. SIDs/RADs dislodged from heights greater than 3 meters may cause bodily injury. WARNING! Secure the SES with fastening straps when installed in a high position. Note! Make sure the direction of the SID and the SES antenna is vertical.
1. Install the equipment according to the installation plan . Example of indoor and outdoor installation of RADs. The SID shall be installed centrally on ground floor to get the optimal freuency range. 2. Take the SID and check if the battery is installed. Make sure to use Lithium battery 3.6V 2.25 AH LI AA. 13 3. If necessary, prepare the installation of the SID and RADs by installing the plate and/or velcro kit.
5. Install the RADs according to information displayed on the RAD (S=structure and r=room ID). 4. Install the SID according to information displayed on the SID (S=structure ID and r=room ID). 6. Install the detector/reflector belt and the detector belts. 1. Detector belt 3. Detector belt. 2.
7. Install the SES in primary room. Make sure the SID is installed and is operating. 8. Open the SES flap and connect the detector/reflector belts into the SES. 9. As an option, it is possible to connect an external speaker and a visual hit indicator into the SES. 10a. Install Rechargeable battery. Remove the Battery Unit (BU) and insert the battery. Verify that "Tampering kill" is heard from the speaker.
10b. Install Non-rechargeable battery. Remove the BU. Remove the battery holder from the BU. 11. Use the CGUN and shoot a RESET Command. Message "RESET WALL TYPE NO" is heard from the speaker. The speaker confirm that wall type level in primary room is set to default value given by the SID. To start the configuration of the RADs, shoot an ACCESS Command with the CGUN. 10c. Put the battery in the battery holder. Verify that "Tampering kill" is heard from the speaker. 12.
6 CGUN Control Functions for SES During exercise the Observer/Controller has the ability to change the wall type level for each SES individually. The changes are valid for primary room, secondary room and adjacent room for the specific SES. Improve protection for a room Use the CGUN and send the command DUG IN or RESURRECT (MILES). The command will change the wall type for primary, secondary and adjacent room at the same time. Repeat the command to desired level.
7 Maintenance Battery life time SID 3.6V 2.25 AH LI AA 3 months RAD 3V/0.85AH LI CR2 12 months Change battery on SID and RAD when: • The LED single red flash every 3 seconds on the SID display and on the RAD display. • A battery symbol is shown on the display. No te! A screwdriver, Torx TX 8, is needed to open the RAD. A continiously check of the installation kit (plate and velcro) should be done. Exchange of the velcro should be done if needed. 8 Removal 1 Remove the RADs in each room.

IC RSS-GEN, Sec 7.1.2 Warning Statement- (Required for Transmitters) ENGLISH: Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
