• Study of SPG-9 construction, placement and procedure for use of controls, PGO-9 sight(PGOK-9, PGN-9), procedure of charging and discharging of the grenade launcher.
• Formation and improvement of grenade launcher operators’ battlefield reconnaissance skills using conditions close to those of modern general combat, including conditions of dust and smoke interference.
• Formation and maintenance of grenade launcher operators’ skills to fire anti-tank and fragmentation shots at static and dynamic targets, as well as helicopters in a hang state at ranges from 100 to 4500 m in various conditions.
• Conduction of battlefield reconnaissance under various optical visibility conditions, determination of the range to points and targets according to a range sight scale.
• Detection of targets and identification by their characteristics. Determination of target movement parameters. Prioritizing of targets for firing by hazard level.
• Training of grenade launcher operators to sightat different targets against the background of the terrain in different conditions.
• Actions on preparation ofSGP-9 for firing, target selection, sighting, grenade launching, observing and evaluatingthe firing results.
• Development of the grenade launcher operators’ ability to evaluate the firing results and to make a decision of repeated target engagement.
• Firing exercises on different types of terrain (normal, desert, urban) in different weather conditions, day and night (when using illumination ammunition), winter and summer.
• PG-9VS (OG-9V) reactive grenade flight model provides the SPG-9 tactical and technical characteristics.
• Direct shot range -800 m.
• Maximum range of firing by anti-tank weapon PG-9VS is 1300 m, by fragmental weapon OG-9V is 4500 m.
• The speed of firing at a maximum range without transfer of fire is 6 shots per minute.
• The display of a three-dimensional model of a 5×5 km terrain section in the field of view of the PGO-9 optical sight and from the point of view of the external controlled camera is provided by the image visualization program; a 2048×1536 high resolution video matrix is used as a display device.
• The aiming reticle and range scale in the field of view of the optical sight fully correspond to the real PGO-9 sight.
• Display of the flight of a grenade at a speed from 315 m/s (initial) to 700 m/s (maximum).
• Implementation of optical characteristics of the PGO-9 sight.
  • increase – 4.2 times;
  • field of view – 10 degrees.
• Visual image of the terrain from the observation point of the external camera has a resolution of 1280×1024, which provides clarity of textures and objects, as well as the depth of perception of the terrain.

Instructor’s possibilities:

• At the choice of the instructor, the visualization system displays the scene in daytime conditions (sunny and cloudy weather), at twilight, and at night (including when using illumination ammunition).
• The simulator library has three geo-typical plots of terrain – normal, desert and terrain with urban development.
• Display of three-dimensional objects against the background of the terrain – local objects (buildings, towers, trees, structures), targets – tanks (T-72, Abrams M1A1), infantry fighting vehicles (BMP-1, BMP-2, Bradley), armoured personnel carriers (BTR-80), vehicles (Ural-4320), helicopters in a nag state (Mi-8/17). The library of three-dimensional objects can be constantly replenished.
• Display of visual weather effects of different intensity – fog, rain, snow, clouds, wind.
• Display of visual effects of the battlefield – explosions of rockets and shells, smoke, fires, illumination ammunition – mines, air bombs, shells.
• Display of visual effects of the grenade launch and flight – smoke of the sight field of view at 0.5-1 s, displaying the grenade tracer in flight, grenade blasting when the target is hit (and missed), burning or exploding.
• Recording the destructiveness of targets by the grenade’s cumulative combat unit, depending on the point of impact and angle of fly-to the target.
• Adequacy of audio effects of the battlefield (firing from small arms, artillery, flight of aircrafts and helicopters), firing and flight of a rocket-propelled grenade, destruction of a combat unit of the anti-tank guided missile.
• Compliance of angular sizes, shape, color, contrast of local objects, vegetation, targets with real objects in the field of view of optical observation and sighting devices.
• Three-dimensional objects have a degree of detailingsufficient for identification (recognition) using observation and sighting devices
• Targets can traverse on the terrain routes at a speed corresponding to the terrain conditions and characteristics of the targets simulated.
• Automatic evaluation of the trainee’s actions.
• Fixing all the mistakes of the trainee and receiving recommendations for further improvement of the training methodology
• Storage of the training results of all trainees and their analysis.
• Printing of the training results.
• Duplicating the visual sector of the grenadier.
• Displaying the selected target parameters on the screen.
• Conduction of a current (in the course of a direct training) analysis of the trainee’s actions with other trainees who are observing his actions
