JRTC MOUT-IS Interactive Targetry

The ITS program is one of four contractual efforts that form Phase II of the JRTC MOUT-IS program (see JRTC MOUT-IS web page for information on Phase I). The ITS will be composed of a Central Control System (CCS), Hand Held Controllers (HHC), Target Lifting Devices (TLD), three-dimensional Human Targets (HT), and self-propelled Vehicle Targets (VT). The system provides pre-programmed or remotely controlled HTs and VTs in an urban setting. Targets are equipped with sensors that can sense gunshot impacts. HT can also be configured to sense mortal wounds, return simulated gunfire via the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) and provide thermal signatures, animation, and sound effects. The ITS records and stores target sensor outputs for integration with the JRTC instrumentation system and subsequent after action review and evaluation. The contract was awarded in August 98 with first items scheduled for delivery in August 99.
