The Small Arms Mobile Trainer (SAMT) is a laserless, mobile training system for small arms, anti-tank weapons, military vehicles, and remote weapon stations. It uses LED projection technology, providing a scalable and mobile setup with a quick pre-integrated system deployment. The system supports marksmanship and tactical training with complete freedom of movement, allowing simultaneous training of multiple dislocated units. The Guard Rail feature offers a mechanical cover aligned with synthetic environments to maintain training realism. VPS smart glasses stream, record, and measure eye movement, offering precise tracking of a trainee's focus.

The Mobile Training Center (MTC) expansion integrates the SAMT system into an expandable container, enabling mobile training at any location. The Scalable LED Wall, comprising stackable LED screens, extends system mobility, delivering luminosity and picture quality without calibration. The immersive sound system incorporates modular floor tiles, integrated sound, and vibration feedback to replicate real-world stress conditions.

The SAMT system uses the patented SAS module, compatible with Picatinny rails or modified real and replica weapons. The module supports all weapon types and devices, including helmets, within the SAMT framework. The After-Action Review (AAR) employs LED technology for post-training analysis, including 4D replay, six degrees of freedom (6 DoF) weapon handling, ballistics data, shot accuracy, and physiological sensing with eye tracking.

Guardiaris' products are compatible with a broader training platform, connecting small arms, anti-tank weapons, military vehicles with remote weapon stations, and portable air defense systems in a joint synthetic environment. The SAMT is part of a suite of training tools, including the Small Arms Tactical Trainer (SATT), Modular Military Vehicle Trainer (MMVT), MANPATS Trainer (MATS), MANPADS and Aircrew Trainer (MAAT), Indoor Mortar Crew Training (IMOT), and Artillery Forward Observer Trainer (AFOT).

The Modular JLTV Crew Trainer is a customizable simulator for a four-person crew: driver, gunner, commander, and a fourth operator. It includes a modular remote weapon station simulator with ballistics, a customizable interior cabin with exact control replicas, and integration with the battle management system (BMS). The JLTV Crew Trainer also allows various types of remote-controlled weapon stations to be fully integrated and simulated, including the Elbit 12.7, CROWS 151 and CROWS 153 from Konsberg, Samson 30mm from Rafael, Mizrak 30mm from Otokar, and Mangart 25 from Valhalla Turrets. The simulator supports simultaneous or individual crew training, including intercom and radio communication. The JLTV system's 6 DoF motion platform simulates vehicle dynamics across terrains such as gravel, concrete, mud, sand, and snow.

The simulator enhances situational awareness through LCD screens in the vehicle's cabin, supporting diverse combat scenarios with auditory, visual, and functional feedback. The GUARD simulation graphics engine manages real-time data capture, ballistics simulation, and AI-generated forces for training scenarios.

The JLTV’s AAR feature offers analytics at crew, vehicle, and squad levels, including first-person view tracking and feedback on operating procedures. The environment gaze tracking system evaluates biometric signals, including heart rate and eye tracking, for a detailed performance assessment.

Both systems are HLA interoperable, allowing integration with other simulator systems upon request. They operate as standalone systems or within a larger training network, supporting multi-mission tactical configurations with various simulator types, including 4x4 to 8x8 vehicles, MBTs, remote weapon stations, small arms, forward observers, and anti-armor simulators. This interoperability facilitates complex tactical combat scenarios, contributing to troop readiness and operational efficiency.
