A NEW state-of-the-art simulator to help soldiers sharpen their weaponry skills was officially launched by Second Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen on Friday, adding to the Singapore Armed Forces' (SAF) range of training simulators.

Called the Infantry Gunnery and Tactical Simulator (IGTS), the equipment consists of two main components - the Support Weapons Simulator (SWS) and the Commander Tactical Trainer (CTT).

These two components will help commanders' hone their skills in battlefield planning, coordination and execution skills before they take part in actual field exercises.

The Support Weapons Simulator will also aid soldiers in acquiring and improving their gunnery skills, before heading out to proper outfield training.

With the use of this training simulator, commanders will be able to practise and improve their tactical decision-making abilities by playing out various warfare scenarios.

Since the beginning of 2008, the IGTS has been used by regulars, Full-time National Servicemen, and Operationally-Ready NSmen from the SAF's Infantry and Guards Unit.

A key component of 3rd Generation Army Training, simulation helps to optimise space and time required for training.

About 14,000 personnel are expected to use the IGTS for training each year.

SAF always have new weapons...But not everyone gets to use them...
Only those selected few, those who are the top can get to use those weapons...
The rest of soldiers can only use SAR21, M16, SAW, M203 etc...

The Game

and half the time it doesnt really work well or is very suit for real war time usage.

Haha...True...Who knows those weapons might fail in the last minute because there's no actual usage before that...

Actually the best weapon is the brain.
