ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MAK Technologies (MAK), a company of ST Engineering North America, today announced that the Michigan National Guard has selected MAK FIRES Deployable and MAK FIRES Classroom for Forward Observer training.
MAK FIRES is a lightweight and rapidly deployable observed fire training system that delivers Call for Fire Training (CFF) at the Point of Need (PoN). The purchase of MAK FIRES includes student and instructor stations designed for 1:1 practice scenarios, where the students initiate the fire commands, and the instructor assumes the role of a Fire Direction Center (FDC). Students can also practice independently through MAK FIRES' voice activated simulated FDC, utilizing speech recognition technology for self-guided practice without the need for an instructor. The Michigan National Guard will be using MAK FIRES Classroom for instructor-led individualized training for students in a classroom environment.
"MAK FIRES is a great fit for the Michigan National Guard," says Alicia Combs, Vice President of Training Solutions at MAK Technologies. "Its game-like and intuitive interface makes it easy for soldiers to complete training tasks on their own or in pairs, and the classroom design increases training effectiveness by allowing all students to learn along with the one receiving attention from the instructor. Best of all, MAK FIRES is easy to deploy and set up, allowing every soldier to train on fundamental tasks in a virtual environment, increasing training effectiveness for live training exercises and deployment."
