TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE

ACTION: Identify COFT Instructional Subsystems

CONDITION: Given a COFT, COFT IUH, and in a classroom environment

STANDARDS: I/O student must demonstrate knowledge of proper COFT training by achieving 80% or higher on the I/O end of course exam and achieve an overall “GO” on the student hands on test

COFT SAFETY BRIEFING

SAFETY:

• Tampering with equipment is prohibited and horseplay will not be tolerated

• CVC helmets must be worn in the Crew Station at all times

• No food, drinks, smoking or smokeless tobacco are allowed in the training area

• Use all required references during maintenance and training

• Do not walk on or move any cables, or touch any electrical connections

COFT SAFETY BRIEFING (Con’t)

• Know the location and function of the three emergency Shutdown Switches

• Know where the fire extinguishers are, how to use them, the location of the emergency exits and the Shelter Emergency Shutdown Switches

• Do not permit any activity in the COFT that is unsafe in the BFV

COFT I/O COURSE

Risk Assessment Level: Moderate, due to potential for exposed high voltage cables

Environmental Considerations: None

Evaluation: I/O student must demonstrate knowledge of proper COFT training by achieving 80% or higher on the I/O end of course exam and achieve an overall “GO” on the student hands on test

Situations in Each Exercise

Crews are scored IAW the T,P,U evaluation criteria in FM 3-22.1. The computer converts letters to numbers.

(T) Trained = 3

(P) Needs Practice = 2

(U) Untrained = 1

Exercises may contain 5 or 12 situations. The scores are added together and an overall score of T, P, or U is given for the exercise.

Timing For Offensive Engagements

Time starts when the target or simultaneous targets are fully exposed (target lock) or the first round is fired (whichever occurs first)

Time stops for each target in an engagement when the target is killed or that target’s exposure time has expired

Timing For Defensive Engagements

Time starts: • First round fired• Targets exposed and vehicle exposed

Time stops: 25mm• Vehicle begins to move back• Target killed• Target exposure time expired

Time stops: coax• One IRET killed
