МОЖЛИВОСТІ ТА ДОСВІД ВИКОРИСТАННЯ СИСТЕМИ ІМІТАЦІЙНОГО МОДЕЛЮВАННЯ JCATS ПРИ ПІДГОТОВЦІ АРТИЛЕРІЙСЬКИХ ПІДРОЗДІЛІВ

Training of gunners in a special period, when it is necessary to provide a high level of knowledge and skills in a short time, which can be provided by simulation modeling, namely the use of the JCATS (Joint Conflict and Tactical Simulation) system. The article discusses the use of JCATS for the training of artillery units, since the training of artillery units requires significant expenditures of material and technical resources (fuel, ammunition, motor resources, etc.). The purpose of this article is to analyze the capabilities and experience of using JCATS when conducting planned brigade command and staff exercises with active OMBR and OTBR when simulating the combat actions of artillery units at the center of simulation of the Ivan Charnyakhovsky National University of Defense of Ukraine from 2018 to 2020.
