Pop-up targets – LIT

– The Light Infantry Target (LIT) – lightweight portable pop-up target system for individual or unit combat training. 

The LIT is a target mechanism designed specifically for infantry target training. The target is battery powered and operates via a radio link up to 9km.

The LIT can be controlled manually or with pre-programmed scenarios from the remote control or a tablet.

In order to build up various scenarios and making the training as real as possible the system can be equipped with multiple accessories such as location of miss and hit (LOMAH), battle effects (BES), enemy fire simulator, target enhanced overlays, etc.

General specifications

Pop-up targets – SIT

– Stationary Infantry Target (SIT) – Portable target for combat training against infantry- or armored opponents.

General specifications

Acoustic measurement – LOMAH

– Location of Miss and Hit (LOMAH) – High-accuracy system for detecting incoming projectiles and calculating the location of hits and misses.

The LOMAH provides automatic location and plotting of misses and hits by detecting the presence of supersonic rounds passing over the array of acoustic sensors thus making possible to build realistic scenarios.

Besides providing the hit and miss data and scoring, the LOMAH makes a target system act accordingly depending on where the target is hit or missed, for example making the target “take cover” when detecting projectiles in proximity of the target even if the target is not hit and go up again.

General specifications

Armor target training

Training for armor targets poses challenges as anti-tank weapons are technically advanced and expensive. Armor target training focuses on training both the gunner and the crew.

Our products, with their flexible setup, aim to challenge the training crew, encouraging improvement and avoiding static scenarios to make the units improve.

We provide stationary target lifters and moving targets in various configurations, including railed installations and the Mobile Ground Moving Target System. These systems are utilized for ground-to-ground and air-to-ground live fire training, offering a comprehensive solution for honing skills in diverse scenarios. 

Pop-up targets – Heavy Target Lifter

The Heavy Target Lifter mechanism offers standard pop-up functionality for tank target silhouettes, accommodating full-size front targets.

Two connected targets are provided for the full-size flank target. The mechanism has been constructed and tested following military standards.

Target illumination facilitates night shooting by simulating hostile fire or indicating hits on the target. The external hit sensor ensures the detection of physical impacts from both supersonic and subsonic projectiles on the target board.

General specifications

Rail target – MRT 2065

Our rail-guided system is built on a modular concept to facilitate customized installations according to local requirements.

The system comprises a drive unit integrated with a rail-guided cable-pulled mover carriage, which smoothly moves an target silhouette along the rail system, offering variable speeds and directions from right to left.

The carriage is capable of carrying a full-size flank armor target.

General specifications

Moving target – mobile (LIMO)

– Light Mobile Target Mover (LIMO) – Mobile Ground Moving Target System, used for ground-to-ground and air-to-ground live-fire training, testing and evaluation.

The LIMO is a versatile ground-moving target system that operates without the need for any fixed infrastructure. It enables ground-toground or air-to-ground practice due to its flexible design.

Completely self-sufficient, the LIMO is available in both container and trailer versions. Setting up an exercise with basic tracks up to 1,500 meters takes less than two hours. The LIMO can accommodate a wide range of targets in various sizes.
