ABSTRACT:
A rocket propelled grenade (RPG) simulation device usable with a laser detector is provided. The RPG simulation device comprises a laser transmitter, a switch, a controller, and a housing. The laser transmitter is capable of directing a laser signal to the laser detector, the laser signal comprising information readable by the laser detector, to simulate a launch of a rocket propelled grenade from the RPG simulation device to the laser detector. The switch permits a user to trigger a laser signal from the laser transmitter. The controller is in operable communication with the laser transmitter and the switch, and the controller is operable to respond to triggering of the switch and to simulate the launch of a rocket propelled grenade by directing the laser transmitter to generate and transmit a laser signal. The RPG simulation device can further comprise an anti-tank weapons effect systems simulator (ATWESS) in operable communication with the controller, the ATWESS generating an indicator replicating a physical effect (such as noise, a visual effect, a gaseous effect, muzzle flash, smoke, an audible effect, and/or a blast sound) that occurs when an RPG launches a grenade.
