Noptel Noptel specialises in the design and manufacture of innovative optoelectronic products based on distance and position measurement and supplies shooter training systems and measurement systems for industry and defence forces. The shooter training systems exploit the company's latest innovations and offer the customer simple and efficient ways of training troops. Noptel has supplied systems to more than 60 countries since 1982.SHOOTER TRAINING SYSTEMSNoptel was the first company to introduce an advanced optical shooter training and analysis system for everyday use by military professionals, law enforcement groups and sport shooters. It is now the leading supplier of marksmanship training systems worldwide. Today Noptel has a strong position in many countries, with many major customers who trust the company's products. In addition to advanced measurement technology, Noptel possesses well-proven skills in severe environment technology and technical shooting analysis.COMPREHENSIVE SHOOTER TRAINING CONCEPTMore than just hardware or computer software is required for the efficient training of professional shooters. Based on a long experience of working with prominent customers worldwide, the company has developed a small arms shooting training concept for the efficient training of military and law enforcement professionals.The basic idea is to encourage the development of a training system starting out from the conceptual level rather than just buying some hardware. This is very important with respect to both the efficiency of the training and the achievement of the best possible cost/benefit ratio for the investment.SAFETY AND REALISMNoptel 2000 is safe, transportable and simple to use, minimising the overhead time required conducting training sessions. This will result in maximum training efficiency. The Noptel concept makes it possible to train anywhere, indoors or out of doors, at real distances and under real environmental conditions, using dry fire, an advanced recoil system or blank ammunition to bring realism into the training!MARKSMANSHIP TRAININGThe Noptel ST-2000 trainers are light in weight and portable. The basic training sessions can be arranged indoors in a normal classroom but also out of doors using real target distances including natural light- and weather conditions. The software includes all common military and police disciplines and new ones can be edited in easily.The trainers work with conventional targets, which can be down scaled for basic training in classrooms. You can use your own targets for training. No electric current or wiring is required in the target. This also allows training with multiple and moving targets, and the use of the same target simultaneously by a number of shooters. The system evaluates with the help of computer the key factors of the shot performance providing immediate and accurate feedback for systematic marksmanship skill development. The shot analysis is easy to understand and provides both graphical and numerical information on shooter's technical performance (hold, aim and trigger control). It reveals the shooter's strong and weak points in an illustrative way. New versions of software are freely downloadable from the Internet. The system supports more than ten languages.FIELD TRAININGThe Fighter system is an optimal system for small-scale action and combat shooting training, allowing quick, easy setups with a variety of pop-up and turning targets. The simplicity of the system allows efficient training any time and anywhere in a real environment. The system provides tools for the core issue: training of shooting at hostile targets in any field or urban environment. A realistic training environment, including natural light and weather conditions, will provide the actual conditions of a live situation and pose a natural challenge for the participants in the exercise.
