Richard Farrant Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 It loks like there may be a joystick under the soldiers right hand. I am going for a controller for some guided weapon, with the indicator indicating the range to the target, or how far the weapon has travelled.

Not a GW trainer or guidance system Richard, although funnily enough, it a similar size to the control panel for the Vigilant simulator & like that there would be a counter of sorts. Actually I think the soldier is operating the control that shifts the double lines on the display up or down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmite!! Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Yes The yellow square is the screen & green square I believe controls double-line display. Does it have anything to do with a seismic sensor that detects ground movement:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmite!! Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Nope, but you were getting warmer a bit earlier on. I was still thinking along the same lines, thought it may be for picking up footsteps... how about an acoustic sensor then:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Lee was close with perimeter protection, I was close with Mortar fire location - how about something to pick up the sounds of movement - disturbed undergrowth, breathing, heartbeats etc???

radiomike7 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Azimuth and elevation suggest some sort of aiming/predictor device, is it for predicting the range of a mortar or the number of propellant charges to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
