This Training Site Facilities Design Guide (DG 415-4) sets forth general functional
guidance for the design architect-engineer (A-E) to use in developing the design and
construction documents for the Army National Guard (ARNG) training site facilities
projects. This design guide is applicable to all construction projects, including new
construction, major alterations, rehabilitations and adaptive reuse of existing facilities.
All ARNG facilities must be designed and constructed applying the principles and
practices of sustainable design and development using U.S. Green Building Council
LEED-NC Version 3.0 Green Building Rating System to achieve a Silver rating. To aid
to the reader in using this design guide, the following are included:

Appendix A, Unique References, lists reference documents that pertain

specifically to this building type; other references cited in this design guide
are included in the References in DG 415-5.

Appendix B, Glossary, defines the acronyms and abbreviations used in

this design guide as well as specialized terms that are unique to this
design guide.

Appendix C contains several tables of requirements.

Appendix D contains the figures that illustrate the explanations in the text.

FUNCTIONS AND OPERATIONS OF TRAINING SITE FACILITIES
This design guide pertains to the following types of ARNG training site facilities:

Major training area (MTA) facilities, which provide the land and permanent
or semi-permanent facilities (including billeting, dining facilities, ranges,
bivouac areas, special training structures, administrative and other logistic
buildings, and tank trails) to support ARNG troops during training and/or
inactive duty training

Local training area (LTA) facilities, which provide the land and facilities to
support ARNG troops during weekend inactive duty training (IDT) and, in
rare cases, two-week annual training (AT)
Standard Design Guidance for Training Ranges (Live Fire) Combined Arms Collective
Training Facility, Shoot House, MOUT, Urban Assault Course, ASP and RETS are
provided by USACE Huntsville Division Huntsville, AL.

DG 415-4

CHAPTER 2
MAJOR TRAINING AREA FACILITIES
2-1

GENERAL INFORMATION

2-1.1
Scope
An MTA generally comprises two operational land areas:

The cantonment area

The area for bivouacking, ranges, special training structures, and
ammunition storage
These areas are used for the weekend IDT and two-week AT that each soldier (unless
exempted) is required to perform.
2-1.2
Standards
Detailed guidance regarding design criteria and construction standards not found in this
design guide is available from the State construction and facilities management officer
(CFMO) or ARNG-ILI. The authorized space criteria and outside support items for
facilities being designed are to be obtained from the approved NGB program
documents. The design A-E should be provided with the MTA Master Plan that has
been approved by the ARNG Chief and be instructed to follow it during the design
process. Any deviations from the Master Plan must be approved by the State Military
Department, CFMO.
2-1.3
Sizing
The MTA is sized based on troop usage determined by the State Military Department
and ARNG-ILI. Sizing is the basis for determining the number of troop billets
authorized. The number of troop billets ranges from the accommodation of a few
companies (each consisting of 100 to 200 troops), one or more battalions (each
generally 500 or more troops), one or more brigades (each generally three battalions),
or a division (three brigades).

DESIGN GUIDANCE FOR PROGRAM SPACES

CANTONMENT AREA FACILITIES

2-3.1
General Information
Cantonment area facilities may consist of:

Open bay barracks

Private room bachelor officer quarters (BOQ)
Bachelor enlisted quarters (BEQ)
Battalion headquarters
Battalion maintenance shelter
3

Battalion supply and ration breakdown

DG 415-4
01 JUNE 2011

Company supply and administration

Dining facilities
Indoor physical fitness area
Outdoor running track
Site headquarters
Troop issue subsistence activity
(See Figure 1, Battalion Set Site Arrangement, in Appendix D). Adequate power for
technology related to communication systems and generator backup equipment should
be provided.
Each of these cantonment area facilities may be constructed as a separate building, or
several functions may be combined into one building, called a consolidated facility"
(refer to Paragraph 2-3.13, Consolidated Facilities, for more information). Generally,
the approved program documents and the Master Plan identify whether separate,
consolidated, or both separate and consolidated facilities are to be designed for an
MTA.
2-3.2
Barracks, Toilets, and Laundry
The barracks may be an open-bay sleeping area for enlisted personnel (staff sergeant
[E6] and below), with consolidated toilets, or it may consist of four-person modules with
toilets and showers. A laundry may also be included. The barracks may be designed
as a separate building or consolidated in one building that includes billeting, dining, and
company supply and administration.
Barracks are to be sized for the number of personnel and number of buildings stated in
the approved program documents and the Master Plan. The barracks size is generally
in personnel increments of 40 (40, 80, 120, 160, etc.).
2-3.2.1 Barracks
The approved program documents should indicate whether the facility is a separate or
consolidated building. The program documents also show the net floor area for billeting,
laundry (when authorized), and the toilets. Generally, the minimum plumbing fixtures
should be as stated in the plumbing code. Barracks for Training Sites should be based
on the Operational Readiness Training Center (ORTC) standard design. See Figure 2,
Barracks Partial Plan (ORTC) in Appendix D.
2-3.2.2 Toilets
Figure 3, BOQ/BEQ Partial Plan, in Appendix D is one example of a separate building
layout for an open bay barracks, with a toilet area, for 40 to 160 persons.
4

DG 415-4
01 JUNE 2011
2-3.2.3 Laundry
A laundry area, if authorized in the approved program documents, may be added to the
barracks. The laundry is generally in a central location adjacent to the toilet room and
mechanical room area to reduce utility runs. See Figure 3.
2-3.3
Bachelor Officer and Enlisted Quarters
The BOQ and BEQ are billeting facilities comprising semi-private and private rooms with
semi-private and private toilets. The BOQ and BEQ must be sized for the number of
personnel, the functional areas, and the number of buildings as stated in the approved
program documents and the Master Plan. The number of rooms in a single building
varies; the minimum is approximately 15 rooms. These facilities may be separate
buildings and not consolidated with any other functional area such as barracks, dining,
headquarters, and company supply and administration. See Figure 3.
The building generally includes the sleeping areas; laundry (if authorized); toilets; and a
small mechanical, electrical, and custodial room. A laundry area, if shown in the
approved program documents, may be located in each separate BOQ or BEQ building
and be designed to the authorized net floor areas. If the design capacity, type of
functional areas, and number of buildings are not clearly stated in the approved
program documents, the State Military Department, CFMO will provide specific
guidance.
2-3.4
Battalion Headquarters Buildings
Generally, the commanding officer, executive officer, personnel, intelligence, and
operations staff officer functions are located in the battalion headquarters buildings.
The logistics staff officer functions are located in the battalion supply and ration
breakdown building. All the staff officers, including the logistics officers, are located in
the brigade, group, or command headquarters buildings.
2-3.5
Battalion Maintenance Shelter
The maintenance shelter is used to provide organizational maintenance on military
equipment (such as tanks, trucks, personnel carriers, and compressors) and is normally
located within the battalion motor pool. It does not require any special installed
equipment to help in the performance of the maintenance mission because all
necessary equipment is portable or movable and brought in by the maintenance
personnel. The remainder of this shelter is normally enclosed on three sides unless the
approved program documents justify heating, in which case four sides with vehicle
doors are required. (Address water and compressed air needed.)
2-3.5.1 Dimensional Layout
There should be two maintenance Work Bays, with no columns between them. This
provides clear floor area which allows space for the repair and maintenance of a large
piece of military equipment. Some space should be used for an office and a toilet. The
clear height should be 15 ft for the Work Bay area and 10 ft for the support area.
2-3.5.2 Doors and Windows
If the maintenance shelter is enclosed on three sides, only one door may be installed; if
it is enclosed on four sides, two personnel doors should be adequate. A shelter
5

DG 415-4
01 JUNE 2011
enclosed on four sides may have four insulated vehicle doors 14 ft by 16 ft wide or two
insulated vehicle doors 14 ft by 20 ft wide to provide pull-through capability and to allow
better air circulation during mild and hot weather. Windows may be authorized, and
vehicle doors may include window lights.
2-3.5.3 Floor Construction
The floor of the maintenance shelter should be a slab on grade of concrete in
accordance with the recommendations in DG 415-5, Chapter 6, Common Architecture
and Engineering Technical Guidelines.
2-3.5.4 Building Systems
If heating is authorized for the maintenance shelter, unit heaters or infrared heaters
should be provided, with adequate insulation, supported by heat transmission factor
calculations. Ventilation should be provided by two general area exhaust fans at the
high point of the roof and two wall exhaust fans located approximately 12 in. above the
floor.
If heating is not authorized, no insulation or ventilation is necessary (even on the
underside of the roof) because one side of the shelter normally does not have a wall.
This provides adequate air circulation to eliminate any serious condensation problems
and engine exhaust accumulation.
2-3.5.5 Pre-Engineered Metal Shelter
A pre-engineered metal shelter may be used if economically feasible and sufficiently
durable for the intended use. The roof and wall panels should be cold-formed steel
sheets. The exterior finish should be a system that provides the appropriate life
expectancy. Roof and wall panels may be aluminum with a factory-applied coating.
Roof panels may contain some translucent panels, provided those panels can be
substituted for metal panels without the need for special design and construction. A 20year warranty should be obtained for the roof.
2-3.6
Battalion Supply and Ration Breakdown Building
The supply and ration breakdown building contains supply storage, a supply office, a
small miscellaneous storage area, a ration breakdown area, and toilets. The supply
storage area is used to store supplies needed to support the troops, separate like items,
and distribute nonperishable (non-food) items. The ration breakdown functional area is
used to store food supplies, separate them into like items, and distribute the supplies
needed for preparing meals in the dining facilities for the troops. Industrial-grade open
shelving attached to the floor may be included in the design supported by Federal
construction funds. The surface area of the shelving should be equal to or less than the
net floor area of the ration breakdown or supply storage area. The structural clear
height should be approximately 10 ft.
2-3.7
Supply and Administration
The supply and administration facility may be for a single company (unit) or it may be for
two companies (units). The supply functions consist of storing and distributing
nonperishable supply items required for the troops to perform their training missions.
The administrative functions are some of the same functions as addressed in Paragraph
6

DG 415-4
01 JUNE 2011
2-2.1, Battalion Brigade, Group, or Command Headquarters, except at a lower echelon.
The supply and administration facility is often constructed in a consolidated building that
also includes the billeting for enlisted personnel, and/or a dining facility for all personnel.
2-3.8
Dining Facilities
The Dining Hall (Mess) facilities are located near troop billets and company supply and
administration facilities. The enlisted personnel barracks, company supply and
administration, and/or dining facilities may be combined into one consolidated facility;
however, the dining facilities discussed here are intended to be located in an
independent building. For specific design guidance on stand-alone buildings refer to
UFC 4-722-01 Dining Facilities
2-3.8.1 Size of Facility
The design options for dining facilities include three basic standard sizes: 200 person,
400 person and 800 person facilities. The facility size indicates the population to be
served; it does not imply that this number of persons is seated simultaneously.
Reference NG PAM 415-12 Chapter 5, for the facility space allowances.
2-3.8.2 Standard Drawings and Equipment Schedules
Standard drawings and kitchen equipment schedules can be obtained through the
following:
U.S. Army Quartermaster Center and School
Attn: ATSM-CES-OE, 1201 22nd Street, Bldg. P-5000
Fort Lee, VA 23801-1601
Commercial (804) 734-3450
DSN: 687-3354
Dimensions and equipment authorizations vary depending on the number of personnel
to be supported by the facility. The kitchen equipment schedules indicate which pieces
of equipment are to be included in the design as contractor furnished and contractor
installed and which equipment is to be government furnished and contractor installed.
In all cases, the design is to include all necessary utility connections. See Figures 1
and 2, Kitchen Equipment Layouts in DG 415-5.
2-3.9
Indoor Physical Fitness Area
The net floor area authorized for the indoor physical fitness area should be obtained
from the approved program documents. The net floor space authorized may be
partitioned to provide three separate functional areas:

An exercise room, which may be an unobstructed floor area for exercising

A weight room with exercise machines and space for free-weight exercises
An office and storage room which provides space for keeping exercise
records, supplies for programs and first aid, sign-out equipment, and a
work station for the person in charge
7

DG 415-4
01 JUNE 2011
The planned usage of the three separate areas may vary depending on the availability
of exercise equipment, the equipment selected, the clearances between equipment, and
the size of each exercise station. Refer to DG 415-5, Chapter 5, Common Functional
Planning and Building Design Guidelines, for more general considerations in the design
of this space.
2-3.10
Outdoor Running Track
An outdoor running track of at least -mile distance should be provided in addition to
the indoor physical fitness area. Lighting for night running should be provided, along
with a parking facility.
2-3.11
Site Headquarters
The site headquarters facility, when authorized, is for a battalion-sized MTA or larger if
NGB has authorized a full-time operating staff. The functions of the full-time operating
staff are as follows:

Program and maintain all buildings, ranges, and real estate.

Issue billeting, supplies, materials, and food items.
Purchase and contract for services, supplies, materials, and food items.
Provide accounting and financial services for the overall operation of the
MTA in support of the troop training mission.
The site headquarters may be included within another training site building or may be a
separate building. The actual total net floor area (including circulation; toilets; and the
mechanical, electrical, and custodial room), plus the size and type of individual
functional areas, should be obtained from the approved program documents and should
be consistent with the Master Plan.
2-3.12
Troop Issue Subsistence Activity
The TISA facility stocks all perishable and nonperishable items needed to supply the
dining facilities or field kitchens operated at an MTA. The TISA facility has the capability
to store refrigerated, non-refrigerated, and frozen food and grocery items. A TISA is
authorized only at locations where commercial supplies are not available within a
reasonable distance. If a TISA is to be designed, the State CFMO may contact ARNGILI to obtain the necessary design guidance. If a TISA is authorized, a battalion supply
and ration breakdown building is not necessary because supplies are drawn directly
from the TISA.
2-3.13
Consolidated Facilities
The authorized supply and administration, dining facility, barracks, laundry, and toilet
areas may be consolidated into a single building. The approved program documents
and the Master Plan should be used to determine the facilities, net floor area, and
circulation patterns that may be included in the single consolidated building.

DG 415-4
01 JUNE 2011
2-3.14
Simulation Facility
These buildings or rooms are used for instructions and training purposes and
permanent storage of simulation devices. The simulation devices maybe motion or nonmotion based to train crews on various weapon systems. The design team must consult
the simulation device for specific environmental and utilities requirements.
2-3.15
Aviation Facilities
Refer to the DG 415-3, Aviation Facilities Design Guide, for guidance related to the
design of aviation facilities.

construction, the mess shelters are to consist of a 4-in.-thick concrete floor, a
lightweight shingled or metal roof, and no sides. Walls that are 4 ft high and constructed
of concrete block or wood siding and screens are authorized.
3-2.4 Latrine
Latrine construction should consist of a concrete floor; a lightweight shingled or metal
roof structure; and sides of wood, metal, or concrete block. Ventilation openings should
be screened and shuttered. No windows are authorized. Unless an existing sanitary
system is available at the site, concrete holding tanks or pits should be provided
according to applicable Federal, State, and local environmental laws and regulations.
Other types of construction may be considered, provided that the life cycle cost analysis
is equal to or less than that of this latrine design.

of the size, type, and number of lockers for each educational facility is identified by the
State CFMO or obtained from the approved program documents.
4-3.3 Educational Spaces
4-3.3.1
Classrooms
The classrooms are used for the officers candidate school and for teaching the basic
non-commissioned officers development course, the platoon leadership development
course, advance courses, military occupation specialty qualifications (MOSQ) courses,
and other, miscellaneous courses. Larger classrooms (900 ft2 and over) may be
13

DG 415-4
01 JUNE 2011
subdivided by using acoustically insulated accordion or folding partitions. Sound
deadening to attain a sound transmission coefficient (STC) of 40 or better should be
provided at the movable partition location to allow the subdivided areas to operate
without disturbing each other. The larger classrooms may have two fixed speaker's
platforms (one for each subdivided area). In addition, the following should be provided:

Lighting controls at a point convenient to the speaker or instructor as well

as at the door for all classrooms

Chalkboards or marker boards (up to 64 ft2 for classrooms 900 ft2 and
larger and 32 ft2 for all other classrooms) with map rails

Generally, one 110-volt electrical duplex outlet on each of three walls and

two on the wall at the front of the room for classrooms smaller than 900 ft2

Generally, two 110-volt duplex electrical outlets on each of three walls and
two to four on the wall and platform at the front of the room for classrooms
900 ft2 and larger (If the larger classroom is subdivided with a movable
partition, each subdivided area should have one-half the total number of
electrical outlets in the classroom.)

(Optional) A 110-volt duplex overhead outlet if an overhead mounted

projector is anticipated

A map rail system consisting of separate sections of approximately

8 linear ft (LF) for rooms smaller than 900 ft2 and 16 LF for rooms 900 ft2

This office area is used by the class instructors to prepare class plans and schedules,
analyze student assignments, and counsel students. The office area should typically be
one large space with pre-wired work stations. Generally, an instructors work station
requires approximately 60 ft2, which includes a desk or work station, two chairs (one for
the instructor and one for the student being counseled), and circulation space. No
chalkboards should be planned for this area. One 110-volt duplex electrical outlet per
instructor is authorized.
4-3.3.3
Multi-Purpose Training Area
This area, to be used for a variety of training purposes, should be one large room with a
level floor. This large room may be subdivided, when required, using an accordion or
folding partition. Sound-deadening material to attain an STC of 40 may be provided for
the movable partition to allow the subdivided areas to operate without disturbing each
other. Lighting controls should be installed at entrances to the area or to the subdivided
area. A maximum of three 32-ft2 chalkboards or marker boards with map rails may be
provided. Generally, one 110-volt duplex electrical outlet may be authorized for each 12
ft of the perimeter wall. However, this is only to determine the total number of outlets;
the outlets may be located where required for teaching or training purposes.

4-3.3.4
Auditorium
The floor of the auditorium may be sloped approximately 1 ft in 12 ft from the speaker's
platform. The speakers platform area should have approximately four 110-volt duplex
outlets (strategically placed), lighting controls, and a 10-ft by 8-ft ceiling-mounted pulldown projection screen. The side and back walls may have a maximum of three 110volt duplex electrical outlets per wall. A speaker system with a microphone, amplifier,
speaker(s), and cable may be provided. Fixed seats may be authorized. To allow
flexibility in the use this area for other functions, the design A-E, user, and State CFMO
may consider a level floor with no fixed seating. The ceiling height should be 9 ft, or the
height to the underside of the exposed structure should be 10 ft at the lowest point.
4-3.3.5
Library
The library may be located as a part of, near, or adjacent to the learning center.
Industrial steel or wood shelving that is 8 ft high, attached to the floor, and equal to the
library net floor area may be provided. Space should be allocated for a small desk for
the librarian, a standard-size two-drawer filing cabinet, and one or two small-sized
reference tables (approximately 3 ft by 5 ft) with chairs. These items (the desk, filing
cabinet, tables, and chairs) are not to be purchased with Federal construction funds.
Four 110-volt duplex electrical outlets, located for easy access, are authorized. A
telephone outlet is also authorized.
4-3.3.6
Learning Center
The learning center should be located adjacent to, or be combined with, the library.
This space may be equipped with individual study carrels that are pre-wired and
installed. It should have built-in steel or wood shelving and/or racks (limited to the
longest wall from the floor to a height of 8 ft) and electrical outlets to accommodate AV
equipment in the study carrels. For the purpose of locating outlets and allocating floor
space, the carrels can be assumed to be 4 ft by 2 ft 6 in.

Physical Fitness Area
The physical fitness area should have a net floor area of approximately 1,000 ft2. The
authorized floor space may be partitioned off to provide three separate functional areas:

An exercise room, which may be just an unobstructed floor area for

exercising

A weight room for exercise machines and free-weight exercises

An office and storage room, which has space for keeping exercise records,
programs, first aid supplies, and equipment signout forms and which has a
work station for the person in charge
These separate functional areas may vary depending on the availability of exercise
equipment, equipment selected, clearances between equipment, and size of each
exercise station. A starting point for sizing the three areas could be 200 ft2 for the office
and storage room, 400 ft2 for the weight room, and 400 ft2 for the exercise room. The
three areas may vary from these sizes, depending on the actual planned usage, but the
total net floor area is to be held to the authorized amount within the flexibility rule. Refer

CHAPTER 6
UNIQUE SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
INFORMATION PAPER
Purpose: To provide supplemental information to States, ARNG-ILI Facility
Management Engineers, and ARNG-TRS, on Army National Guard Range planning,
design, and construction.
1
General Discussion:
Planning, designing, and constructing an automated Army standard range generally
follows the planning, design, and construction procedures outlined in NG Pam 415-5.
However, there are some additional considerations and actions that are required for
execution of a range project.
ARNG Ranges are included in the Army Master Range Program (AMRP). The AMRP is
developed by the Department of the Army Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations
(specifically DAMO-TRS) in coordination with the ATSC, Corps of Engineers, NGB, and
the States (for ARNG Ranges). There are two additional, external organizations with
whom the State will need to coordinate during design and construction. These
organizations are:
i.
ii

The Corps of Engineers Huntsville Division (the Mandatory Center of

Expertise (MCX)) for range projects
The Army Training Support Center (ATSC) which is the Armys RTLP
Program Coordinator for the Army Range Program.

Program Proponents are:

a.
The ATSC Serves as the functional proponent for TC 25-1,Training Land and TC
5-8, Training Ranges, and related automated systems They determine range and
training land requirements resulting from changes to doctrine, force structure, and
weapon system acquisition in coordination with HQDA (DAMO-TR). They provide
assistance to NGB and the States for range issues. They develop and maintain the
data base of record for the Army Master Range Plan (AMRP). They assist DA
DCSOPS in developing estimated OPA funding (targets and instrumentation)
requirements to procure instrumentation in MDEP program years. They consolidate
MACOM submissions and provide RTLP targetry and device requirements to AMC for
procurement and distribution for newly constructed ranges. They coordinate targetry
installation and range construction completion schedules with the RTLP MCX and the
AMC commodity manager. They participate in meetings and review designs for range
projects to ensure training standards and requirements are satisfactorily met ICW the
RTLP MCX. They schedule and conduct Construction Compliance Inspections (CCI)
and the Targetry Interface Inspections (TII), and coordinate facility acceptance for range
projects. Finally, they recommend stop work on design and construction activities to DA
DCSOPS when appropriate.
19

DG 415-4
01 JUNE 2011
b
The Corps of Engineers MCX provides planning, programming, design and
construction assistance for National Guard range projects. During the design, they can
provide a contracting mechanism for design services. During range design, HQDA
requires that they review every range for compliance with HQDA range standards.
They coordinate with ATSC for the CCIs and TIIs for ranges during construction.
Without appropriate coordination with these two above organizations, the Army can, and
will likely, withhold centrally funded targetry. So, it is absolutely essential that every
MCNG range project be reviewed and coordinated with these two organizations.
Oversight of this coordination is a shared responsibility between the ARNG-ILI FMEs
and the ARNGTRS POCs. The discussion below will provide recommendations for this
involvement.
3
Detailed Discussion: The following is a chronological list of actions and
considerations that must occur for ARNG ranges in the Army Master Range Program.
a. Environmental. (Ref: 415-5, 5-1). Per 415-5, the environmental process should
begin as early as practical. Range construction generally encompasses considerable
earth disturbance (particularly those on land not previously used as a range). As such
ranges often require at least an Environmental Assessment. The State should complete
the ARNG Environmental Checklist and pay particular attention to those sections that
pertain to earth disturbance as these areas may well adversely affect the environment.
States should ensure that Environmental personnel assisting with the NEPA evaluation
are aware of land disturbance and potential lead-related issues.
The TC 25-8, Appendix D contains a diagram of each range, from which the States
can derive an estimate of the disturbance areas for various common ranges. This
information includes only the target area. The actual amount of disturbance for specific
range may be slightly higher than these amounts. In addition to the NEPA
documentation required, there may be other permits (i.e., air, water, etc) required by
the jurisdiction in which the range will be constructed. It is always a good idea for
States to have their environmental personnel create or review an environmental section
in the specifications to ensure that all required actions are completed by the
construction contractor.
b. Completion of DD Forms 1390/1391. (Ref: 415-5, 6-1 and 6-2). Automated
Army standard ranges and Military Operations on Urban Terrain Ranges that are
programmed through the AMRP require programming document review by the MCX
and the ATSC. Usually, ARNG-TRS will accomplish this review in conjunction with their
preparation for the RTLP Prioritization Board in October of each year. Therefore, there
is no requirement for ARNG-ILI to send these programming documents to these two
organizations. The NGB proponent for ranges is ARNG-TRS. Therefore, ARNG-ILI
need only send the range programming documents to ARNG-TRS for validation and to
NGB-ILE for information. ARNG-TR will validate the DD Forms 1390/1 and will provide
comments regarding the range to ARNG-ILI.
Generally range DD Forms 1390/1 do not contain appropriately developed SDZs.
However, if they do, ARNG-ILI can send these along with the DD Forms 1390/1391 to
20

DG 415-4
01 JUNE 2011
ARNG-TRS and they will staff the SDZ with ARNG-AV. DD Forms 1390/1391 for Army
Standard Ranges that require targetry must have a detailed list of targetry elements in
paragraph 12 b of the DD Form 1391c. ARNG-TRS will validate the targetry equipment
via their reviews through ATSC and MCX. In addition to the targetry, there are a
number of other elements that are slightly different for a range. Examples of range DD
Forms 1390/1391 can be obtained from ARNG-ILI, ARNG-TRS or can be obtained
from postings on GKO website in the Installations Division, DD Forms 1390/91
repository.
c. Project Planning Document Charrette (PPDC). Project Planning Document
Charrettes (PPDC) are HIGHLY encouraged on range projects. At these meetings, all
the stakeholders provide input, and changes to designs of targetry that are pending
publication; these will certainly save on changes in design and construction change
orders. Normally, if a good PPDC is completed, the project is at a point where the
Conceptual Design is easily approved.
d.. Surface Danger Zones (SDZ). An SDZ is the ground and airspace designated
within the training complex (to include associated safety areas) for vertical and lateral
containment of projectiles, fragments, debris, and components resulting from the firing,
launching, or detonation of weapon systems to include ammunition, explosives, and
demolition explosives. In very simple terms, it is the volume in which a fired round will
be statistically contained. The diagram of this area must accurately depict this space
and must show that the projectiles, fragments, debris and components will not impact
an inhabited area or proceed past the installation boundaries. Instructions for the
construction of an SDZ are contained in DA Pam 385-63 and in NG Pam 415-5, 6-5, h.
If the State has a baffled range, the state shall comply with NG Pam 415-5, 6-5, h (4)
and use Picatinny Arsenal to conduct a ricochet analysis. Range Control personnel on
the training center are ordinarily very skilled at generating SDZs. GIS is a tremendous
asset when generating these SDZ. Programs such as ARC Map are very useful for the
generation of SDZs. SDZ review can be conducted as early as during the DD Forms
1390/1391 submittal. Or, the SDZ can be submitted with the Preliminary design. If the
designer generates the SDZ, the state should verify that that the SDZ is correctly
constructed prior to sending the design to the NGB for review. The State (or designer)
should develop the SDZ at no less than a 1:50,000 scale and submit a copy of this SDZ
to ARNG-C (to their FME) for review and verification by ARNG-AV. Once ARNG-AV
verifies the SDZ, they will send a memo to this effect to ARNG-ILI-C. The State should
receive a copy of this verification and place it in the project file. SDZ for MOUT facilities
and Gunnery Ranges are inherently complex. So States may want to schedule a time
with ARNG-AV to review these SDZs to make sure they are correct. A state should not
proceed beyond 35% design without an SDZ approval (at least a preliminary approval).
e . Contracting for A/E Services. One option for A/E services is to contract through
the Corps of Engineers, Huntsville Division. At an average management cost of less
than 2%, the MCX will manage the design contract. The MCX has a multiple Task
Order Contract with four design firms. You look at information from the four firms, select
a firm, and the COE does the rest of the contracting piece. One advantage to this
method is the ease of obligation of your funding (as simple MIPR is all that is required.)
Please note that this may not be a viable method for ranges to be constructed on state
21

DG 415-4
01 JUNE 2011
land if your Attorney General will not allow you to use Federal Contracting procedures
f . Design. All range designs must be reviewed by the MCX and the ATSC. To
ensure that the States comply with this requirement, the FMEs need to ensure that
States send a copy of each design to ARNG-ILI, ARNG-TR (with a copy of the SDZ for
ARNG-AV), ATSC, and the MCX. When ARNG-ILI receives the submittal, they will email ARNG-TR, ATSC, and the MCX to establish a suspense date for their comments.
ARNG-ILI should require a copy of MCX and ATSC comments or a memorandum
indicating that there are no comments from each of these organizations. To ensure that
Designers are completely aware of their requirements to provide these copies and so
that the time required for these reviews is incorporated into the design schedule, the
following information are recommended to be included in each design contract for a
range. The designer will be required to become familiar with the design requirements
for the range they are designing. This includes, but it not limited to information from the
Corps of Engineers (Huntsville Division) website, the Training Range project checklists
for the inspections to be conducted during construction, and other information provided
by the National Guard Bureau or the State regarding range design and construction.
The A/E will be required to submit additional copies of project designs throughout
the design review process. These additional copies are for the organizations listed in
paragraph g of this document, National Guard Installations Division, National Guard
Bureau Training Division, and the National Guard Bureau Aviation Safety Office. (The
state should determine whether the designer will send these design documents directly
to these organizations or whether the designer will provide these submittals to the State
to send. If the State determines that the A/E will send them directly, then the A/E will
need to provide transmittal correspondence to all affected parties that indicate to whom
they sent the review sets.).
The review process by these organizations will have about a 3 to 4 weeks duration.
This period for design review will need to be incorporated into the design timeline for
each design phase of the project in addition to review times already required by the
State and the ARNG-ILI. Additionally, the cost to produce (and send (if indicated) these
copies should be included in the design contract. If the designer is being retained to
perform Title II, Type C Services, then they will be required to attend the
Preconstruction Meeting, the Construction Compliance Review (normally about 4
hours), and the Target Interface Inspection (normally 6 - hours for a small arms range
and 2 - 3 days for large range (such as a Multipurpose Training Range (Gunnery). The
current web references for range design is:
(1) MCX Huntsville Corps of Engineers RTLP site has standard designs,
1390/91 examples and project management information posted at
[Link]
The most critical part of the design process is the electrical and data interfaces that
must be provided for the targetry to work and report back to the range computer
properly. These documents have now been incorporated into the standard design
package at the MCX website above.

Construction. During the construction of a range there are three important
meetings (two of which are required) that involve the State, NGB, MCX and
ATSC. Failure by the State to conduct the required meetings can result in ATSC
recommending that targetry not be installed at the affected range.
The first meeting is a Preconstruction Meeting that ensures that the contractor
understands how critical the targetry interface items are. Although probably required by
the contracting method used to construct the range, it is not required for attendance by
ATSC and the MCX. Although a coordinated meeting is optional, it is highly desirable,
especially for large and complicated ranges. This meeting sets the tone for contractor
compliance with the construction contract, particularly strict adherence to the Target
Interface Items and supporting elements. It is an excellent opportunity to expose the
contractor to the range construction and targetry installation process. It aids
tremendously in partnering through construction and target installation. The
preconstruction meeting may be conducted on site (preferred), or at an alternate
location. It can be conducted in coordination with the normal project preconstruction
meeting.
The second meeting is a Construction Compliance Inspection. This required
inspection is conducted when certain critical interface items are complete. These items
include one target emplacement for each type of targetry (i.e. Stationary Infantry,
Moving Infantry, etc), and the network interfaces at the tower or range operations
center. These inspections generally take about one day and must be conducted on site.
The Corps of Engineers has generated a complete list of requirements for this
inspection, and it is included in the standard design package referenced above. These
24

final inspections are a Target Interface Inspection (TII). This inspection is conducted
when all targetry interface items are complete. These inspections generally take at
least a day. It is not uncommon for them to take more than a day for complex ranges.
The Corps of Engineers has generated a complete list of requirements for this
inspection. To ensure that the contractor is aware of range-unique requirements and
has accounted for their conduct in their bid, the following language should be added as
a special provision to the construction contract.
This project will result in the construction of a weapons range. When it is complete,
centrally funded and acquired targetry will be installed on this range. To accommodate
this installation of targetry, there are certain requirements during the construction of this
range. The Contractor will be required to participate in a preconstruction meeting for
this facility
. A portion of this meeting will address the target interface requirements included in
the construction contract. Two Army Agencies will attend this meeting and will
emphasize the critical nature of the target interface items. If there is any discrepancy
between information provided by either of these two agencies and the project
contractual documents, the issue will be referred to the Contracting Officer for
resolution. Generally about 1/3 of the way through the construction, the contractor will
have completed at least one target emplacement of each type (i.e., one Stationary
Infantry Target, Moving Infantry Target, etc) and the tower interface. Once these
items are within about 3 to 4 weeks of completion, the State will notify the National
Guard Bureau to schedule a Construction Compliance Inspection. The focus of this
inspection is to make sure that the items constructed thus far are in compliance with the
Target Interface requirements. Again if there is any discrepancy between information
provided by either of these two agencies and the project contractual documents, the
issue will be referred to the Contracting Officer for resolution. When the project is about
4 weeks from completion of all of the Target Interface items (i.e. all the target
emplacements, all target related electrical requirements in the tower), the State will
notify the National Guard Bureau to schedule a Target Interface Inspection.
The focus of this inspection is to make sure that all of the Target Interface items are
complete. There will probably be two additional agencies at this inspection. The first
agency is the government agency that acts as the contracting agent for the targetry.
The other agency will be the targetry installer. As with the other two meetings, if there is
any discrepancy between information provided by either of these two agencies and the
project contractual documents, the issue will be referred to the Contracting Officer for
resolution. For current submittal (as of 05/27/2011) see Point of Contact below and

TRAINING FACILITY DESIGN DOCUMENT

8-1
INTRODUCTION.
This Training Facility Design Document contains information to be used in the planning
stages for construction of a training facility for housing the FATS Virtual Trainer.
8-2

PREPARING THE TRAINING FACILITY

8-2.1 GENERAL FACILITY LAYOUT

This section provides information that is required for preparing the site for installation
and operation of the FATS Virtual Trainer in the single and multiple screen
configurations. FATS recommends a facility layout that includes a Training Room(s),
Weapon Storage Room, Compressor Room, and Office.
Training Room - All training will be conducted in the Training Room, which
houses all simulation equipment.
Weapon Storage Room - The Storage Room provides for simulated weapon
storage.
Compressor Room The compressor room houses the air compressor, and/or
the carbon dioxide (CO2) bottles providing compressed air or CO2 for weapon
recoil of non-Bluefire weapons.
Office - The office provides a work base for the Training Facility manager.
8-2.2

TRAINING ROOM.

8-2.2.1 Overview Training Room.

The Training Room(s) will house the Virtual Trainer, a system operator, 1-3 instructors,
and observers. A diagrammatic layout is in Attachment A.
8-2.2.2 Size Requirements Training Room.
Training Rooms should measure 45 x 25 (13.716m X 7.62m) for a single screen
system. (Minimum requirements for a single screen system are 15 x 30 / 4.572m x
9.144m) If multiple systems are being utilized, the room dimension will increase. Refer
to Attachment A. The physical dimensions of the Training Room should be sufficient to
accommodate a 5/10/15-lane Virtual Trainer with an Instructor Station, firing line for
trainees, projector, screen, speakers, and training furniture. Training room dimensions
must take into account the critical placement of FATS system components relative to
each other as identified in the facility diagrams in Attachment A. For example, the
projector must be placed a distance of 230 (5.842m) from the screen, while the firing
line must be located 20 (6.069m) from the screen. Placement of other system
components can be customer defined, as long as maximum cable lengths are not
exceeded and proper line of sight is maintained from the instructor to student and
34

projection screen. FATS suggest an optimal placement for the Instructors Station and
the associated hardware and controls as indicated in the facility diagrams in Attachment
A. That location will allow the instructor to have an unobstructed view of the screen and
the firing line, and at the same time have access to the room electrical controls such as
thermostat, fluorescent and dimmable lights. If the customer desires a different
location, please discuss the desired new location with FATS to avoid potential
problems.
Please Note: If Mortars or a Mk-19 are being used on the system, please allow
approximately 4 x 4 (1.2192m X 1.2192m) for the Mortar/MK-19 platforms.
The projector distance may vary depending on the model purchased. Check with
FATS, Inc. for specific distances for your projector.
8-2.2.3 Flooring Requirements Training Room.
It is recommended that a 2 (0.6096m) raised firing platform be constructed for the
trainees. It should be made out of solid wood or another material that minimizes
vibrations due to people walking and moving about on the floor since vibration can
adversely affect the shooters performance. The firing platform should have a crawl
space underneath it to allow for running system cables and hoses to reduce clutter. It
should also have openings at the indicated locations for the projector and for access to
the crawl space. In this configuration, all weapon umbilicals run to the front of the firing
line, eliminating floor clutter. Speaker and intercom cables can also be routed to
positions in front of the firing line where they do not interfere with the trainees view of
the screen. The Training Room floor should be smooth and level to within 1 (.0254m)
between any two points. The Training Room floor, including the firing platform, should
be covered with short, closed pile, anti-static, textured dark gray or black commercial
carpet. Carpet controls dust and feels more like the ground when firing from a prone
position. It is especially important to have the floor carpeted or covered with rubber
mats when using Bluefire weapons where the magazines or weapon itself, such as the
OC spray, are allowed to fall on the floor to simulate reloading or out of chemical drills.
Please Note: In the floor mount configuration, the bottom of the screen and the projector
should be at the same level. In the ceiling mount configuration, the top of the screen
and the projector (inverted) should also be at the same level.
8-2.2.4 Ceiling Requirements Training Room.
The minimum height of the ceiling in the training room should provide sufficient room to
raise the screen. Add an additional 2 (0.6096m) for the raised platform making the top
of the screen 10-12 (3.048m 3.657m) off the floor. The ceiling should be painted flat
black to match the walls and eliminate light reflection.
Please Note: The Ceiling will need to be higher if ceiling mounts are used and may add
another foot to the overall ceiling height. If a ceiling mount for the projector is being
used, please ensure the mount hangs at the same level as the TOP of the screen and
centered left to right.

8-2.2.5 Door Requirements Training Room.

One rear entry door should be provided to provide for personnel access to the Training
Room. This door should be electric/key unlock (normally locked), solid, sound
attenuating. Door will lock only from outside. This personnel access door should be an
interior door to minimize potential exterior noise, environmental conditions, and debris.
All FATS equipment is designed to fit through standard door openings. There should be
no light passing through the door when closed (i.e., no light transmission detected in
darkened Training Room when viewing door using standard night vision device). Ideally,
no light should reflect on the screen when any outside doors are opened. Please check
with local fire/evacuation regulations.
8-2.2.6
Wall Finish Requirements Training Room.
All walls in the Training Room should be painted with flat black paint to minimize light
reflections that could interfere with the Virtual Trainer hit detect system.
8-2.2.7
Window Restrictions Training Room.
For new facilities, no windows should be included in the Training Room. If there are
windows present, make sure they are completely sealed so NO ambient/natural light
can pass through.
8-2.2.8
Environmental Requirements Training Room.
The FATS Virtual Trainer is designed for indoor use, and is typically operated in room
temperatures that are adjusted to personnel specifications. Air conditioning is
recommended for temperature and humidity control (controllable via dedicated
thermostat). The heat load from the two-system Virtual Trainer is equivalent to that of 3
office PCs, a monitor, 2 projectors, sound amplifier and a printer, and the total power
would not exceed 1400w. The training room environment should maintain temperatures
and climate that is within the operating range of the training system. The safe operating
temperature limits for the Virtual Trainer system are between +5 and +35 degrees
Centigrade (or +41 to +95 degrees Fahrenheit). The relative non-condensing humidity
limits are 20 to 85 percent. The Virtual Trainer is designed to operate successfully in a
wide variety of climates and conditions. Still, avoid dust-producing items (leaking
sandbags, dirt floors, deteriorating camouflage materials, etc) especially around the
desks, projectors, and weapons. Excess dust can be damaging to Virtual Trainer
components. Access to the Training Room should prevent wind-blown dust or
precipitation from entering the room via poorly sealed doors or windows. For existing
facilities, moisture producing items such as leaking or sweating pipes and damaged
roofs must be repaired. Please note that air conditioning vents should not be placed
near Virtual Trainer projection screens, since slight movements or ripples in the screen
surface can reduce overall system accuracy. Any source of IR light such as Exit signs
or heaters should not be place near the screen where it is in the field of view of the hit
cameras.
BLUEFIRE WEAPON INFORMATION
If Bluefire weapons are to be used, then excessive RF (radio frequency) from devices
not FCC approved should be avoided. Bluefire operates using Bluetooth technology in
the 2.4 GHz frequency range. The training room should be in a location where wireless
devices can be used. If there are known RF interferences that prevent other devices in
36

the 2.4 GHz spectrums such as cordless phones, wireless computer networks or other
Bluetooth devices from operating properly, then the room must be RF shielded. Please
contact FATS, Inc for more details.
8-2.2.9
Sound Insulation Requirements Training Room.
The simulated firing audio system is fitted with a volume control to adjust the audio
volume level for weapon shot sounds, battlefield sounds, and normal scenario
feedback. When training is being conducted, the sound of the simulated weapons and
scenario sounds should be loud enough for realism. However for safety purposes, the
audio volume of the Virtual Trainer is designed not to exceed a peak exposure
(generally shot sounds) of 110 dBA to prevent damage to the operator and/or trainees
hearing.
The level of noise that escapes from the Training Room during operation depends on
the amount of sound insulation materials used in construction of the facility (dry wall,
sound lagging, insulation materials, thickness of walls and bulkheads, etc.). An air
conditioned facility and use of normal building materials typically are adequate to reduce
noise (shot sounds, etc) from the trainer to building exterior.
8-2.2.10
Power Requirements Training Room.
The FATS Virtual Trainer operates using 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz power. The Virtual
Trainer will auto switch, but there are some components that may need to be changed
by a FATS Technician prior to installation. A 100240 VAC Transformer may also be
supplied with the system.
1) Instructor Station Power - dedicated filtered circuit (i.e., Virtual Trainer
power should be isolated from power circuits supplying other equipment
within the facility) 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 15A single phase - outlet mounted
on the wall within six feet of the Instructor Station (preferably at the location
indicated on the facility layout drawings in Attachment A), at 3 off the room
floor (1 above the firing platform).
2) Other Power 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 15A single phase outlets on
separate circuits evenly spaced around the room for use with maintenance
and miscellaneous equipment (circuits isolated from system circuits).
A single point of ground (earth) shall be provided for the entire AC system. Ground
impedance shall be less than one ohm measured at any outlet or connecting device.
8-2.2.11
Telephone Line Requirements Training Room.
Two analog telephone lines are recommended for use in system upgrades and remote
diagnostics by FATS, Inc. Provision of telephone lines is desirable to support file and
scenario transfer rates used in HLA.
8-2.2.12
Lighting Requirements Training Room.
A common problem with many customer simulator-training rooms is that they are either
too dark or too bright. This comes from having little or no control over ambient (room)
lighting, or from having lights in the wrong locations. To maximize projected image
clarity and saturation and eliminate interference with laser hit detect sensor, Training
Room lights in the area of the projector and screen must be turned OFF to keep this
37

area in deep shadow. While this reduced light level aids the Virtual Trainer projection
system, it potentially limits both the trainee on the firing line and operator at the
instructor station. Low light levels at the firing line make it difficult for trainees to fill out
score notebooks or easily see weapon sights. In addition, the Virtual Trainer operator is
forced to work in darkness, making it difficult to impossible to effectively review training
aids. Therefore, dedicated recessed (focused) dimmable lighting is important for
lighting the firing line and the Instructor Station position. It is best for all room lighting to
be adjustable by the operator from the Instructor Station location. Proper use of
operator-controlled lighting enables use of different light levels within the Training
Room, allowing screen images to remain sharp and clear while enabling the trainees
and operator to see what they are doing. During simulator operation, recessed
dimmable fluorescent, compact fluorescent or low IR lights are recommended for use
over the firing line and instructor station. Any other kinds of light such as halogen and
incandescent lights generate significant amounts of IR light that can potentially interfere
with the systems hit detection. For general room lighting when the simulator is not in
use, standard florescent lights are acceptable. It is preferable if the fluorescent lights are
separated in front of the firing platform and are on a separate bank from the ones over
the firing platform.
8-2.2.13
Furniture Requirements Training Room.
Training room size should be sufficient to support use of additional training furniture
such as simulated sandbags, camouflage netting, trenches, etc. These items are not
part of the contract, and would be constructed and installed by the customer. If desired,
FATS can discuss things accomplished by other customers in this area.
8-2.2.14
Air Flow Specifications Training Room.
The FATS system can use Compressed Air, CO2 or Nitrogen (N2) for simulated weapon
recoil, therefore no smoke or poisonous gases will be discharged from the simulated
weapons. FATS simulated weapons can operate using CO2 canisters. Compressed air
can also be used as a cost option. If compressed air is used, it must be dry and filtered
to prevent contamination. Another issue with compressed air or nitrogen is that they will
not last as long as the CO2 because they are stored as a gas where the CO2 is stored
as a liquid and turns into a gas replenishing the gas supply. Facility airflow should be
designed to support training room occupancy for up to 12 trainees, 1-3 instructors, and
observers simultaneously.
8-2.2.15
Cable Routing Requirements Training Room.
The cables from the equipment rack to the projector and hit camera, as well as the trunk
lines for the weapons will run underneath the firing platform. It is required that a 6
(0.1524m) diameter hole is cut out in the firing platform behind the equipment rack. If a
raised platform cannot be used, it is recommended that floor tunnels be used to hide
cables. If a good tunnel structure exists, there should not be a need for a raised
platform.

8-2.3

WEAPONS STORAGE ROOM.

8-2.3.1 Size Requirements - Storage Room.

The size of the Storage Room should be sufficient to store training furniture and
simulated weapons (unless stored in another secured lockup area) when not in use.
Actual size of this room is left to the discretion of the customer no formal requirement
exists relative to the operation of the Virtual Trainer.
8-2.3.2 Power Requirements - Storage Room.
There are no special power requirements for the Storage Room. However, it is
recommended to add a couple of power outlets to this room for future use (easier and
cheaper to add now than later). If Bluefire weapons are to be used, power outlets are
required for the battery chargers to charge up the batteries inside the weapon simulator
overnight. It is important to keep the Bluefire weapons, like with any battery-powered
device, charging when not in use to ensure the weapons are operational at a moments
notice.
8-2.3.3 Environmental Requirements - Storage Room.
Since system equipment will be stored in the Storage Room, this room should be
heated and cooled in a similar manner as the rest of the facility.
8-2.3.4 Lighting Requirements - Storage Room.
General-purpose lighting should be provided for the storage room.
8-2.3.5 Access Storage Room.
The Storage Room should easily accessible from the Training Room. Double doors
identical to the ones used for the training room are recommended to facilitate easy
movement of equipment in and out of the Weapon Storage Room. The rooms doors
and windows (if present) should be compliant with customers standards for storage of
simulated weapons.
8-2.4

COMPRESSOR ROOM (FOR TETHERED WEAPONS).

8-2.4.1 Size Requirements Compressor Room.

The size of the Compressor Room should be sufficient to house the compressor skidmounted assembly if purchased by the customer.
8-2.4.2 Power Requirements - Compressor Room.
There are no special power requirements for the Compressor Room. However, it is
recommended to add a couple of power outlets to this room for future use (easier and
cheaper to add now than later). If the customer purchases a separate air compressor,
the proper power requirements will need to be adhered to in accordance with the
manufacturer of the air compressor.
8-2.4.3 Environmental Requirements - Storage Room.
It is recommended that this room should be heated and cooled in a similar manner as
the rest of the facility especially since it will house the Co2 canisters.
39

8-2.4.4 Lighting Requirements - Storage Room.

General-purpose lighting should be provided for the storage room.
8-2.4.5 Access Compressor Room
The Storage Room should easily accessible from the Training Room. If the customer
purchases a compressor, the access to the room should be through double-doors with a
minimum width of at least 6 to allow for the compressor skid to be moved in the room.
In the interest of safety, only authorized personnel should have access to this room.
8-2.5 OFFICE.
An office is recommended for the Training Room manager. This office will be used for
Training Room scheduling and general management activities. Size, access,
furnishing, and environmental control of this office are left to customer discretion.
8-2.6 SAFETY CONCERNS: ALL SAFETY ISSUES NEED TO BE ADDRESSED
LOCALLY BY THE CUSTOMER. SOME OF THE SAFETY CONCERNS ARE:

Steps in the training area should be lighted to prevent students from tripping.
Exposed Cables/hoses could be a possible trip hazard.
CO2/Nitrogen canisters need to be secured so they dont fall or get knocked over.
Fire extinguisher should be available.
Exit lighting
Emergency shutoff
Every weapon needs to be treated as a live weapon.

Note: More safety concerns are also covered in the System O&M Manual.
8- 2.7 BLUEFIRE WEAPONS
Bluefire weapons with recoil require the use of a magazine refill station. This station
occupies about 1 cubic feet of space and should be set on a sturdy table and nearby the
firing line in order for students to easily refill their magazines to minimize down time.
This station requires a Nitrogen canister that needs to be provided by the customer.
FATS recommend our customers rent this canister and have a service that fills the
canister on a regular basis depending on usage. The canister is the tall kind (that
weighs over 200 lbs) and requires it to be strapped down or in a rolling rack to prevent it
from falling over and causing a potential hazard. The specifications of the canister
should be as follows.
Canister/tank pressure: 5000-6000 PSI
Fitting: CGA-677
Gas: High Pressure Nitrogen
Bluefire weapons have a range of about 33 feet from the weapons dongle (transceiver
unit that allows the wireless communication between the weapon and the system),
which plugs into the FATS simulation computer. The dongle currently has a cable
length of about 25 feet with a connector that plugs into the weapon port of the FATS
computer. For optimal performance, it is recommended that each dongle be placed in
the center of the projected area in front of the firing line closer to the screen than the
40

firing line. If there is going to be a lot of anticipated movements where the students can
potentially trip over the cables, then the dongle can be mounted in the ceiling or be used
with a weapon trunkline so that the cable run alongside the sides of the room and out of
the way of the students.
Since Bluefire weapons look very similar to its live weapon counterpart, it is imperative
that there is some kind of policy or procedure in place to prevent live weapons from
entering into the FATS training room and Bluefire weapons from leaving the training
room. This may include a lockable cabinet for students to check in their live weapons
before going into the FATS Training room.
If there are to be any props for students to practice cover drills with, it is recommended
to avoid all metal props or dividers because metal has a tendency to limit the range of
any wireless link by shielding the RF signals. This can cause problems in the operation
of the weapon and system.

TABLE 4 GENERAL NOTES

Outside Air Ventilation rates are based on ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2004 where
the supply and return air distribution devices are ceiling mounted. If the distribution
devices are located in the occupied zone reduce the air quantity by 50%. Regardless of
where the air distribution devices are located the outside air quantity must be at least
15% of the total air circulated within the HVAC controlled space.

Exhaust Systems for special work processes that require an exhaust hood to capture
particles being transported by the air stream must be designed in accordance with the
American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Industrial
Ventilation Manual and ASHRAE Handbooks of Fundamentals and HVAC Applications.

NCB curves specify maximum noise criteria due to the space itself and all sources of
normal interior and exterior noise due to HVAC systems and other building equipment.
