#1 This is NOT new. I went thru similar training on a system at Ft Hood prior to Desert Storm. I wasn't even a FO ...just an 11B (Infantryman for you non-military types) Our simulator was a combination of a projection screen with a terrain model in front of it for "depth". You would use a "radio" to call for fire and then the video screen would show the impacts...you would then adjust fire. It was a tad crude, but still good training. Our simualator did not have the stage setting for the actual observer...just a classroom setting. I'm sure it is better now, but this is not new.

#2 How do you judge distance, or are there special optics for this purpose?
