Turkeys Havelsan is displaying its artillery forward observer simulator (AFOS) system here at AAD (Hall 3, Stand 354). This Windowsbased system helps to train forward observers and fire detection centre personnel so that they can employ artillery firepower accurately and effectively.
The system presents 3D geo-specific/geotypical terrain views, high-resolution satellite images and elevation data and allows the addition of new terrain features and new weapon systems, as well as digital cultural data. It depicts realistic target models and realistic explosive effects, with static and moving targets. Using the system allows observers to train in the effects of different types and calibres of ammunition, target-fixing, fire request and the organisation and management of fire in varying terrains.
AFOS has been used by the Turkish armed forces, including the navy, for some time and in 2008 was supplied in modified form to Pakistan. Two versions are currently in development for the Azerbaijani and Georgian armies for delivery early next year.
