FM 3-22.1c. Precision Gunnery System, ODS and below. The PGS (Figure 4-3, page 4-7) isan eye-safe laser appended training device that provides normal and degraded modegunnery on unit vehicles. The system allows crews to develop and sustain gunnery skillswhile training using their own vehicles. Tracer and missile signatures in the commander'sand gunner's sights replicate the actual weapons and ammunition. This allows crews toapply lead, BOT, and TOT procedures during engagements. The PGS is fully compatibleon MILES-equipped ranges, vehicles, and targets. The system can send and receive hit,kill, and miss signals from other PGSs, tank weapons gunnery simulation systems(TWGSSs), or MILES-equipped vehicles. A redesign of the mounting reconfigurationallows the crew to fire the TOW "in simulation" while they fire the 25-mm and coax"live." The PGS lets the BCEs review all engagements during the AAR. The PGS alsoshows ballistic information for each simulated round fired. It identifies where each hitsrelative to the target, in mils, both in azimuth and elevation. (TM 9-6920-710-12&P-1and TM 9-6920-711-12&P-1 provide additional information.) The systemcomponents include—• Control panel.• Controller unit.• Hull detectors.• Laser transceiver unit.• Training-data-retrieval system.• Vehicle-interface unit.d. Precision Gunnery System, A3 Only. The A3 PGS simulates real-world firingconditions and effects, with images and sounds. The Bradley A3 PGS training-deviceinterface panel (TDIP) includes fully integrated fire controls. The A3 adds the followingcomponents:• Driver-unit's dual bracket (A3 only).• Tracer-burst obscuration simulator.• Vehicle interface assembly bracket (A3 only).• Video-mixer unit for tracer-burst-obscuration simulator (A3 only).4-6
