A weapon training system for an indirect firing weapon. The weapon training system includes a firing box including at least one processor, and a firing mechanism communicatively coupled with the firing box. Activation of the firing mechanism causes a simulated firing of the indirect firing weapon. The weapon training system also includes a round sensor communicatively coupled with the firing box. The round sensor is operable to be attached to or integrated with a round compatible with the weapon. The round is operable to be inserted into a breech of the weapon. The weapon training system further includes a breech sensor communicatively coupled with the firing box. The breech sensor is configured to detect an insertion of the round into the breech of the weapon via detection of the round sensor.

Indirect fire mission training system

An indirect fire mission training round includes a projectile training shell having an outer periphery, a proximal end, and a distal end, the proximal end defining an interior chamber. The projectile training shell is configured to be inserted within a cavity of a projectile firing instrument. The round includes an interlock member configured to securely receive a proximal portion of a subsequent training round within the interior chamber of the projectile training shell. The round includes a resistance brake extending outward from the outer periphery and configured to contact a wall of the cavity of the firing instrument and provide resistance that secures the projectile training shell at a position within the cavity. The resistance break is selectively disengageable such that the position of the projectile training shell is adjustable.
