The ISMT Systems are interactive audio/video simulators that provide network capable training in marksmanship, weapons employment, indirect fire, and tactical decision- making. The ISMT systems incorporate the use of simulated organic Infantry Battalion Table of Equipment (T/E) weapons to enable Marines and Sailors to train and rehearse skills for marksmanship, weapons employment, tactical engagement, and tactical decision making. Up to three ISMT systems can be networked together and used simultaneously. When networked together, the configuration is commonly referred to as an Infantry Squad Trainer (IST). In this configuration, 15 firing points for known and unknown distance ranges can be supported, with up to 24 assigned weapons while executing scenarios within a virtual battle space.
