AAV-TT
Assault Amphibious Vehicle Turret Trainer
Proven Training Solution for the U.S. Marine Corps and Japan's Amphibious Rapid Deployment Brigade
The AAV-TT systems designed to deliver realistic, hands-on crew gunnery training for Assault Amphibious Vehicle (AAV) crews. These advanced trainers prepare both drivers and gunners for operational readiness while also supporting platoon-level and higher collective training exercises through system networking.
Training Value & Benefits
Aligned with USMC Gunnery Standards
The AAV-TT directly supports the "Gate-to-Live-Fire" gunnery training standard, as defined by TECOM MTSB. This ensures every Marine receives consistent, mission-focused training that translates into battlefield performance.
Safe, Efficient, and Cost-Effective
Virtual training reduces the need for costly live-fire exercises, fuel, and equipment wear—offering significant cost savings while minimizing risk and maintaining training quality.
Flexible and Scalable
Easily network multiple systems for collective training events, from individual gunnery drills to full platoon operations and joint missions.
Core Training Features
High-Definition Virtual Combat Environments
Realistic battlefield simulations that replicate mission conditions, from gunnery engagements to complex operational scenarios.
Intelligent Target & Weapon Effects Simulation
Targets behave and react like real threats; weapon effects mirror actual system performance for accurate training feedback.
Platoon & Joint Operation Capability
Trainers can link for large-scale, multi-unit exercises including joint service operations.
