Data informed decisions drive marksmanship change that is enabling a “new normal” that significatnly enhances the individual Marine’s lethality with the service rifle. Digital training aides allow analysis and measurement of an individual’s “Ballistic Fitness.” In turn, this human performance data is designed to inform individual or unit marksmanship training to sustain and enhance small arms lethality. We are using technology to measure lethality in a manner similar to how we measure physical fitness on the CFT/PFT.
