Reason

• To use PGS to its full potential, the operation of PGS’s five training modes must be completely understood.

Training Objective

• Given a BFV with PGS installed and aligned, the crew will demonstrate how to perform the following exercises:

• Scaled gunnery (1/10 and 1/2 scale)

• Tracking training

• TOW only

Transparency

• PGS requires the same gunnery procedures as used during live fire gunnery.

Normal Procedures

Closing Statement

• To get the maximum training value from PGS, you must be able to operate the system in all five training modes.

Reason

• After PGS training is completed, the crew must ensure:

– PGS is operational, clean and prepared for storage.

– Vehicle is returned to normal configuration.

Training Objective

• Given a BFV with BII and PGS installed, you will perform the following:

– Conduct post operational tasks and after operation PMCS on PGS.

– Return the vehicle to normal configuration.

Summary

• BIT

• Removal of PGS

• After operation PMCS

• Vehicle returned to normal operation

• Turn in PGS set

Closing Statement

• This block of instruction has prepared the crew to:

• Remove, clean, and turn in PGS• Perform vehicle checks and procedures

Reason

• When PGS failures occur, the crew must be able to identify, troubleshoot, and correct the problem.

Training Objective

• Given an operational BFV with PGS installed and aligned, you will demonstrate the following:

– Discuss troubleshooting procedures– Perform BIT initialization and discuss failure

information– Conduct troubleshooting

General Procedures

• Verify vehicle set-up• Restart vehicle and PGS• Verify all connections within PGS• Verify all connections between PGS and BFV• Perform troubleshooting IAW TM 9-6920-710-12&P-

1, Chapters 3 and 4• Check PGS for visible damage• Verify programming of TDRS Memory Card• Replace components if needed

Safety

• No corrective action with vehicle MASTER POWER SWITCH ON and turret power applied.

WARNING

Perform all corrective action with vehicle MASTER POWER SWITCH and TURRET POWER set to OFF. Damage could occur to PGS or vehicle or personnel could be injured if cables are connected or disconnected with vehicle MASTER POWER SWITCH and TURRET POWER are set to ON.

Summary

• Troubleshooting procedures

• BIT initialization and failure information

• Practical troubleshooting

Closing Statement

• This block of instruction has prepared you to understand troubleshooting procedures used with PGS.

Reason

• To achieve desired results from PGS, panel targets and vehicles must have retro reflector units and, if needed, LTID’s properly installed.

Training Objective

• Given an LTID, a retro reflector unit set with universal brackets, panel targets, and demonstration vehicles, you will:

– Follow all safety regulations during target preparation.– Prepare an infantry target– Prepare a T80 / BMP frontal target– Prepare a T80 / BMP flank target– Perform target emplacement– Vehicle RRU mounting

Target Lifter Safety

• Place target lifter ON/OFF switch in OFF position.• Disconnect target lifter battery when working on or

around panel targets.• Ensure that RRU and LTID is secure.• Ensure that panel target is secure.• Disconnect power to pyrotechnic target signature

unit, if used, while working around target lifter.

For safety issues, consult manufacturer’s documentation.
