Advancing combat readiness with premier training facility
General Dynamics Information Technology has completed instrumentation of the Military Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT) site at the King Abdullah II Special Operations Training Center (KASOTC).
The instrumented KASOTC MOUT site replicates a real-life urban environment and supports four simultaneous training operations. The site includes:
- 56 training buildings
- Mock A300 aircraft fuselage
- Centralized and integrated Range Operations Center to monitor and control all audio, video, special effects and target technology
- 350 inside/12 outside networked day/night thermal cameras with 360° coverage to capture exercises for After Action Review (AAR)
- Immediately following a training exercise, an AAR is presented to review compostive video and audio segments that allow users to learn real-time to modify/correct/improve performance.
- Sound-effect speakers that project hundreds of realistic sounds, including:
- Shouts, animal noises, crying and gunfire
- Integrated targetry
- Special effects, such as:
- Rooftop explosion with debris
- Concussion wave cannon
- Automatic weapons simulator
- Simulated smells
- Fog generator
- Improvised explosive device (IED) kit
The KASOTC is a 500 acre state-of-the-art training center that is the world’s first and largest special forces training facility of its kind, specializing in counterterrorism and internal security missions. This world-class training complex is located northeast of Amman, Jordan, and provides an environment for U.S. allied forces to improve their skills through realistic training scenarios and combined exercises on common ground where they can learn from each other’s real life operational experience. The site facilitates multilateral partnerships that leverage participating nations’ experience, expertise and resources. Users will have access to a multi-use tower; 100- and 300-meter live-fire, tactical, driving and urban ranges; and classroom facilities.
