Study Notes
Introduction
- The Bradley Conduct of Fire Trainer (COFT) is designed for Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV) units to train and sustain gunnery proficiency.
- The COFT supports Crew Training Programs for special purpose, sustainment, gunnery, and combat training.
- Special Purpose training introduces crews to orientation, zeroing, and gunnery techniques, and trains inexperienced crewmen.
- Sustainment training is for qualified crews, allowing them to retake Gunnery or Combat Training Matrix exercises to improve scores.
- Gunnery training prepares crews for qualification and advanced training.
- Combat training utilizes each gunnery system in various combat situations, maintaining qualification.
Purpose
- The COFT is a dual-configuration simulation system.
- It replicates the BFV ODS-SA or A3 vehicle.
- It's used by the instructor to train and sustain the Gunner and Commander in direct-fire gunnery skills.
- It has three configurations: mobile, institutional, and table top trainer.
- Each configuration includes: a Crewstation, Computational System Rack (CSR), and an Instructor/Operator Station (IOS).
- The mobile configuration also has a trailer subsystem.
Scope
- The manual covers eight chapters and three appendices.
- Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of the COFT and the Instructor Operator's role.
- The manual includes information on introduction, controls, indicators, operation, troubleshooting, the crew training program, Instructor Operator duties, training manager functions, and preventative maintenance.
- Appendices contain a glossary, reference material, and a COFT system logbook.
Description and Use of Controls and Indicators
- The chapter outlines major components' locations and usage of controls.
- Two sections: major components and IO station.
- System configurations covered: institutional, mobile, and table top trainer (TTT).
- Institutional layout includes a crewstation, computational system rack, and an instructor operator station (with heating, ventilation, AC, fire suppression, power, and lighting).
- Mobile configurations include IOS, CSR and crewstation inside a trailer (trailer 1 and 2 types).
- Trailer 1 sometimes also called a shelter/trailer/generator (STG).
- Trailer 2 is an integrated solution.
- TTT configuration consists of four cases (IOS, CSR, Gunner, Commander).
Instructor Operator Station (IOS)
- The IOS is used for system communication, powering up/down, troubleshooting, training, training record management, and training selection.
- Mobile and Institutional IOS configurations look slightly different;
- Institutional configuration features extended cabinet feet for balance and a back cover.
- Mobile configuration is directly mounted to the shelter floor and side wall.
- Digital generator gauge is on the wall near the IOS in the mobile configuration.
- IOS software plans, controls, and archives training results.
Crewstation
- The Crewstation is part of the COFT.
- It replicates the BFV turret.
- The Institutional Crewstation version has side panels; Mobile has no sides.
