The Virtual Stinger Trainer (VST) is the first and only fielded Virtual Reality based MANPADS training device that provides Stinger Team Crew Training that supports portable or fixed training sites. VST provides Stinger Team (Team Leader and Gunner) operational and tactical training within a 360º immersive, realistic battlefield environment (to include VACR). The VST instructor station provides selection of instructor defined training vignettes (scenarios) that include varying terrain (Desert, Forest or NCR), moving aircraft targets and countermeasures. VST includes a detailed AAR/scoring presentation of Gunner actions (e.g. IFF, super elevation, correct aim point, etc.)
