Saab's new MANPACK 300 (launched at I/ITSEC 2014) is a portable, readily deployable training system that enables instrumented training exercises to be conducted with up to 300 players. It is a complete instrumentation system – fitted in a case – designed to move with the area of interest during a training exercise. It provides the same computing power as a full-scale system, which means that ManPack 300 "has what it takes to bring your live training experience closer to reality," according to Saab.
MANPACK 300 is a development of Saab’s MANPACK 120 and GAMER family of deployable, mobile and fixed CTC-instrumented training systems. It is a real time system that enables exercise command and control, together with during and after action review/statistical analysis of instrumented company-sized forces. The system handles up to 300 players and has the same computing poweras a full-scale system, but with significantly lower procurement and support costs. It is designed to operate in a man portable or vehicle mounted mode. This means it’s a system that can travel with the area of interest as the exercise moves in the terrain.
This radio mobility enables Observer/Controllers to follow a manoeuvre and actively view and control the unfolding action in real time. MANPACK 300 allows the Instructor at any time during an exercise to quickly present a playback of the exercise on the display screen for a small group, or via a projector for larger audiences. The exercise can be selectively replayed, zooming in and jumping to sequences and events of interest. There is a comprehensive set of tools that enhance the feedback and clear the fog of war.
MANPACK 300 has a powerful Windows-based suite of exercise-control tools that enable on-the-spot control of field-simulated indirect fires, minefields, CBRN contamination, improvised explosive devices (IED) and reactive targets. Exercise players are displayed in 3D against a high-resolution 2D or 3D terrain background, providing a detailed real- time situational view of the battle flow and individual events.
