La nouvelle version du SITTAL (Simulateur

dInstruction Technique du Tir aux ArmesLgres) est actuellement teste par lEAI, le

CEITO,le 92e RI,le 15/2 et le 2e REI.Avant lt

2004, tous les organismes de mtropole

dots de ce simulateur (rgiments dinfante-

rie, camps et certaines coles) seront qui-

ps de cette version valorise. Confie la

socit GAVAP, cette remise hauteur

concerne non seulement le software (pro-

grammes informatiques)

et le hardware (ordina-

teurs et systmes de pro-

jection) mais galement

les armes.Les fantassins vont pou-

voir travailler avec leurs

armes de dotation

(FAMAS Infanterie,FRF2,

AT4CS et Minimi) et leurs

moyens optiques asso-

cis (J4, J8, OB50). Ces

modifications font du SIT-

TAL un produit nouveau

et neuf. Pour permettre

de conserver lattractivit

du systme et pour fournir aux instructeurs

des exercices constructifs,un gnrateur descnarii va tre implant lEAI.

A lheure o le tir redevient la priorit affi-

che dans lentranement de linfanterie,

cette nouvelle version va permettre aux

cadres de mener une politique dinstruc-

tion au tir varie et complte.

The new version

of the SITTAL(SMALL ARMS SHOOTING TRAINING SIMULATOR)The new version of the SITTAL (Small arms shooting trai-

ning simulator) is currently under trial at the School of

Infantry,at the Centre for Infantry live fire training (CEITO),

at the 92nd and 152nd Infantry Regiments and at the 2nd

Foreign Legion Infantry Regiment.This upgraded version

will be delivered to all formations of continental France

which have been equipped with this simulator (regiments,

a various number of military schools, and training areas)

before the summer 2004.This upgrading has been awar-

ded to the Company GAVAP and includes not only both

software and hardware but the simulated weapons too.

The infantrymen will have the opportunity to operate

their inventory weapons (infantry FAMAS, FRF2 Sniper

weapon system,AT4CS,and Minimi LMG) with their asso-ciated optical sights (daytime telescope sights with 4 and

8 magnification and OB50 light intensification scope).

Those changes equal the introduction of a new system.In

order to maintain the attractiveness of the system and to

provide the instructors with effective training sequences,a

sequence generator will be delivered to the School or

Infantry.

Since shooting has again become the claimed priority of

infantry training,this new version will allow the comman-

ders to implement an exhaustive and diverse shooting

training policy.

LITC suscite un intrt grandissant dans

linfanterie. Certains rgiments lexpri-

mentent mme depuis quelques mois et le

CNEC, assist de spcialistes suisses, a

form ses premiers instructeurs.

Il sagit dun concept amricain dvelopp

partir des observations faites, durant la

guerre du Vietnam, sur lecomportement

du tireur en opration.

Ce concept repose sur loptimisation de

lutilisation de larme au combat dont la

consquence majeure est la rduction des

tirs fratricides. Sans ngliger les tirs clas-

siques moyenne distance, il met laccent

sur linstruction trs courte distance (de

quelques mtres 80 mtres).

Actuellement, lITC nest pas autorise dans

larme de terre. En effet, ladoption de

telles techniques de tir pose naturellement

la question cruciale de la scurit (tirs moins de 25 m par exemple). Consciente

de lintrt quelle reprsente pour linfan-

terie, lEAI a constitu un groupe de travail

pour rflchir la mise en uvre de lITC et

mis en formation ses premiers instructeurs.

Les conclusions sont en cours dlabora-

tion et seront prsentes lEMAT au dbut

du mois de fvrier 2004.

LEAI a rcemment rappel aux units, lim-

prieuse ncessit dattendre que la dci-

sion officielle soit prise pour adopter lITC.

Si la philosophie gnrale, et lessentiel des

savoir-faire, ne posent pas de problmes

particuliers dapplication, certaines dispo-

sitions ou tirs, remettent en question les

rgles de scurit actuelles et imposent de

former des instructeurs. Ces techniques ne

peuvent donc pour linstant tre appli-

ques dans les rgiments.

Dans la mesure o les conclusions de ltu-

de recevront lagrment de lEMAT, lITC

pourrait tre applique dans les units

dans dexcellentes conditions pdago-

giques et surtout de scurit.

The ITC (combat shooting training):for whom? When? How?

A growing interest for ITC has been shown throughout theInfantry. Some regiments have even been conductingtests for months and the CNEC (National commando trai-ning centre) has trained its first instructors with the help ofSwiss specialists.It is an American concept based on the observationsmade on the behaviour of the shooters during operations

which has been developed during the Vietnam War.This concept aims at an optimization of the use of wea-

pons in combat, the main consequence of which is areduction of fratricide fires. Although conventional shoo-ting at medium range must not be neglected, it empha-sizes shooting at very short range (between some metresand 80 metres.)ITC is currently not allowed in the Army.The application ofsuch shooting techniques raises indeed the key questionof safety during shooting sessions (for example whenshooting at a closer range than 25 metres). Since theSchool of Infantry is well aware of the interest ITC has forthe Infantry, it has set up a working group to determinehow ITC will be conducted and trained its first instructors.The conclusions are now being drawn and will be submit-ted to the General Staff in February 2004.The School of Infantry has recently reminded all units thatit was mandatory to wait for the official decision beforeconducting ITC.Although the general conception of it and

most of the techniques dont raise any specific problems,some procedures or shooting conditions are questioningthe current safety rules and require adequately trainedinstructors. Therefore those techniques may not be cur-rently used in the regiments.If the conclusions of the study were to be endorsed by theGeneral Staff,ITC could be conducted by the units in excel-lent training and safety conditions.

Dans les annes 80, lensemble du march militaire eut

un vritable intrt dans les inventions et produits dve-

lopps par Oakley. La marque avait acquis une rputa-

tion solide en terme de produits de haute-performanceet de haute-technologie plbiscits par les plus grands

athltes de la plante. Des innovations reconnues tant

par leur dure de vie, par leur confort et la protection

quelles confrent. Les Forces Spciales dElite amri-

caines comprirent limportance et la valeur de telles

inventions de produits en terme de performance et de

force.Non pas sur un terrain de sport.Mais sur un champ

de bataille.

Avec le support des troupes des Oprations Spciales de

lArme amricaine, les ingnieurs dOakley attaqurent

le problme de front.De nombreux produits furent tests

en conditions multiples telles quen environnements

urbains,de montagne, de dsert,par forte neige et mme

en pleine jungle. Les militaires mirent le design dOakley rude preuve via des preuves de marche intermi-

nables, des descentes en rappel dhlicoptre, HALO

(High Altitude / Low Opening) et HAHO (High Altitude /

High Opening) et des sauts en parachute.Le rsultat final

consiste en un quipement exclusif et unique aux Forces

Spciales dElite.

OAKLEY PRESENTS...MILITARY PROGRAM

Back in the 1980s, the military became interested

in Oakley's breakthrough inventions.The compa-

ny had earned a reputation for products that

offer performance advantages to professional

athletes. Innovations in durability, comfort and

protection were transcending to the general

public in a growing array of proprietary techno-

logies. The U.S. elite Special Forces saw Oakley

inventions as a means to outperform the compe-

tition. Not on a ball field. On a battlefield.

With support from the U.S. Army Special

Operations Command and the Naval Special

Warfare Development Group, Oakley engineers

attacked the problem. Multiple iterations were

tested in urban, mountain, desert, snow and

jungle environments. The military put Oakley's

design through the punishment of endless

marches, fast rope helicopter insertions, HALO

(High Altitude / Low Opening) and HAHO (High

Altitude / High Opening) parachute jumps. The

end result is a piece of military equipment wor-

thy of the elite Special Forces: Oakley's Standard

Issue Assault Boot.
