Requirements for Development of a Low Cost Portable Simulator for Shooting Skill Training

The use of simulators for shooting skill training is becoming more widespread with technological advances. However, this kind of training is still not accessible to many institutions because of its cost of acquisition, maintenance, portability and system use comprehensiveness. In this context, this paper proposes requirements for a viable model implementation of portable and low cost shooting simulator, while maintaining the level of immersion and focus on the training of a large number of simultaneous trainees. For the basis of the proposal, initially, there was a study on the market shooting training simulators, identifying key requirements. Therefore, with the guidance of experts in marksmanship training area, the requirements that serve the purpose of portability and low cost have been defined. Finally, a simulator was developed to validate the proposed model.
