| Sumario: | Introduction/purpose: The paper presents a solution for overcoming a
possible problem - breach of safety measures when operating the BVP M80A Infantry Combat Vehicle on a training ground during tactical exercises
and shooting at night. The crux of the problem is that the officer in charge
of a tactical exercise and shooting is not in a position to observe in which
direction the gunner-operator aims because no device has been installed
on the BVP M-80A to signal this.
Methods: After deploying the vehicle in practice and and on the basis of
experience during shooting, it was concluded that there is a problem of
controlling shooting at night and in reduced visibility conditions.
Results: The paper provides a practical solution to prevent situations such
as disorientation, impossibility of observing targets, and turning weapons
towards the outside the shooting range boundaries, thus violating the
security measures of all participants in the exercise including the BVP M80A unit itself. A technical improvement was implemented on the vehicle
by installing a signaling device that gives visual information to the officer in
charge of shooting in which direction the weapon is turned.
Conclusion: The installed signaling device enables the officer who
commands the exercise and shooting to be in control in a timely manner,
eliminate possible causes of violation of security measures, and
successfully implement the planned activity.
