Safety Realism: The use of patented proximity technology ensures that trainees can engage in the safe yet highly realistic simulation of anti-personnel mines. This allows for comprehensive training in mine handling, deployment, and defensive techniques within a live force on force training environment.

Sound and Light Emission: After the fuse time expires, the simulated mine emits sound and a bright LED flash. This feature adds to the authenticity of training scenarios and provides immediate feedback, enhancing the overall training experience.

Range and Blast Effectiveness: With an impressive effective range of 60+ meters or more, along with the capability to simulate both forward blast arc zones and back-blast areas, these mines offer a comprehensive training experience. This extended range enables a wide variety of training scenarios, enhancing exercise realism.

Enhanced Training Assessment: Patented proximity technology is a simple add-on to MILES systems, and is in process of integrating in the U.S. Army’s Synthetic Training Environment. Proximity technology reports highly accurate distances of targets within effective range to the Sim M18 Claymore’s detonation, and the simulated blast is properly affected by appropriate or inappropriate protective cover. Whether in a MILES or STE architecture, feedback to soldiers is immediate. Information is also passed in real time to the training system’s data collection. This enables monitoring, AARs, and informed assessments of the battle damage resulting from the simulated mine explosions. This feedback is invaluable for evaluating trainee performance and decision-making during training exercises.

Realism in Design: The simulated M18 Claymore mine replicates the manual of arms for real mines, including real components like the M57 Firing Device, M40 Test Set, blasting cap, and 100′ cord. This attention to detail enhances the authenticity of training scenarios.

Magnetic Charging Port: The inclusion of a magnetic charging port simplifies the battery recharging process, ensuring quick and convenient maintenance.

Reusability: Thanks to a rechargeable battery and durable construction, the simulated mine can be used for thousands of detonations, delivering long-term value and cost-effectiveness.

Recovery: Recovery of expended mines is by activating Sim M18 mines (and Sim grenades) using a push-button fob, mobile phone/tablet, or pre-programmed timed flashing/beeping after end of services.
