Weapon Effects Simulation (WES) - Creation of artificial but realistic weapons effects such as flashes, bangs and smoke, for exercise purposes. Used in combination with Tactical engagement simulation (TES), that uses laser projection for training purposes instead of bullets and missiles. Typically, an accurate laser "shot" hitting a target such as a tank, will trigger cartridge-based WES equipment fitted to the tank which will give a flash, bang and smoke, signifying a hit in the exercise scenario.
