The challenge is to simulate the chaos and danger of the modern day battlefield while keeping the soldier safe. West Efx has perfected the design and manufacture of hi-tech devices to duplicate the sights and sounds of battle. We have the ability simulate everything from artillery impacts and suicide bombers to mortars and RPGs.
The West Efx IED. This system creates a significant dust and moderate noise signature to allow training personnel to simulate a safe but effective detonation on command. This system is available in larger and smaller versions, but all operate on the same principal.
WestEfx was charged with the challenge to create a realistic weapons simulator modeled after a Russian heavy Machine Gun. With the high cost of blank loads, it was difficult to allow cost effective, unlimited live fire simulation with current US weapons. WestEfx designed a .50 cal DUSHKA oxygen/ propane simulator that has met this need by far exceeding expectations.
Economical, ground based or vehicle mounted
Oxygen / propane weapons simulator, designed to look and sound like a Russian .50 caliber DUSHKA Style weapon. This simulators noise signature and ability to rapid fire, has allowed a new level of training realism.
The indirect fire simulator, highly mobile fire marker-six shot, or just HMFM-6, is designed to fire up to six concussive and or smoke shots sequentially.
The 155 SIM, or thumper as it has been nicknamed, is an oxygen propane system that can be mounted to the receiver hitch of a truck or fired from the ground. System is activated from a wireless remote.
The suicide vest is a victim-operated device that uses compressed air and effects dust to create an explosion signature on demand. Based on the same loading and safety protocol as other IED devices. This compact unit is safe and effective in all scenarios.
This simulator is a high-density, polyurethane replica of a Russian RPG-7 that produces a smoke signature.
