The upgrades to AGTS include integration of scalable advanced graphics engine (SAGE) image-generation technology, new graphic user interfaces, such as more pull-down menus for the instructor screens.
SAGE features an extensive visual database that provides warfighters with a detailed environment and provides more realistic targets.
AGTS is a simulator that has been designed to provide training in precision gunnery skills to individuals, crews, platoons and companies as well as enable quick transition of trainees to live fire or combat gunnery.
