The tunnel at Jordan National K9 Center has all real-life training scenarios available. It is equipped with an escape hatch system, exhaust system to remove any smoke or gas, to quickly transition to the next training task, left and right turns. Simunitions, Flash-bangs and smoke are all acceptable tools for the mission task training range.
Mine detection Field
The JNK9C is in the process of establishing a mine detection field that provides all safety standards to provide the best possible training for K9 teams in mine detection missions. The field will represent real mission task training.
The field will incorporate state of the art simulated equipment that creates real world scenarios, which better enables the trainees to train and prepare for live deployments.
The Jordan National K9 Center maintains a large obstacle course in which K9s can be trained to maneuver almost any obstacle in a real-life situation.
The center houses a full-scale A300 aircraft model and control tower with a helicopter landing pad. The A300 also includes some B777 aircraft features and exploits full advantage of the battlefield effects controlled by the Range Operations Control Center. This includes initiating targets to stand up from their seats, introduction of smells / sounds of the battlefield and video/audio capture of all training inside-out.
Aircraft model is ideal for CT assault scenarios (linear / deliberate) and sky marshal training. Helicopter pad enables coordinated vehicle, foot, and helicopter assault training.
The Urban Area contains a wide range of urban and village facilities (55) to simulate realistic neighborhoods, including residential areas, commercial and industrial facilities, government buildings, a public square, villas, apartment complexes, public service facilities, community center, parking lot, gas station, shops, light industrial areas, office complexes and water purification stations.
The Urban Area simulates a variety of typical urban environments, enabling live ammunition training in a safe environment. In addition, the entire area is outfitted with concussion wave cannons, machine gun simulators, speakers, battlefield smell and smoke simulators, hundreds of day/night cameras, and microphones to encompass and capture all training activities.
The Urban village was specially designed for training and maintenance of detection and assault dogs. The 6 building have multi-levels, multi-rooms with multi-surfaces. This allows acclimation to any mission task a K9 may encounter. Whether explosive detection or dual-purpose dogs, many mission task scenarios can be utilized and fine tuned here. Urban village has cameras that document your training for a detailed AAR.
The Close-Quarters Battle (CQB) house is a two-story armored facility with an adjoining three-story tower that provides room-to-room combat practice firing using live ammunition, designed to train for assaults on a major stronghold using a variety of methods including simultaneous foot, vehicle, and helicopter approaches. Assaults can be conducted using entry techniques on multiple levels including assaults through multiple floors and rooms.
Internally, the building is rated throughout for assault rifles, handguns and submachine guns using up to 7.62 ball ammunition. Externally, it is rated for limited and controlled sniper fire using 7.62 or 5.56 ball ammunition.
Control from the ROCC allows for initiating targets, introduction of smells/sounds of the battlefield and video/audio capture of all training inside and out.
The Method of Entry (MOE) facility is a set of facilities that is designed for training of entry methods & and techniques. The facilities contained in this area include various breaching stations, steel cutting station, the method of building entry and a space for construction to meet clients’ specific requests e.g., mud walls, brick walls, etc.
Explosive methods of entry may be practiced on all the MOE stations. All facilities are shielded and may be used concurrently with other training teams. Larger concussion charges may be practiced at the demolition pit.
The Jungle area provides various training skills in a woodland environment. The total area of the range is up to six thousand square meters with a terrain that mirrors many hostile training missions worldwide.
The routes through jungle area can be used for many mission tasks such as IED and ambush training scenarios, as well as long- and short-range patrols. The range also suits different types of training, such as battle drills up to company level, Convoy protection techniques and sniper hide site techniques.
The JNK9C is in the process of establishing a search and rescue field to train K9 teams to carry out real mission tasks in disaster zones. The field will contain various sections of rubble and tunnels that represent destroyed facilities due to disasters.
This will enable K9 teams to properly approach destroyed buildings and search for casualties, as well as search and locate those that have died as a result of the disaster.
The Zip line at the zip line range is 220 meters long and allows K9 teams to conduct drills, that like Rappelling, help K9s to navigate and gain balance while suspended in the air.
This exercise also builds trust between the K9 and its handler and promotes a stronger bond that reflects in their future work together. The Zip line also allows the K9 team to Rappel mid-way.
