Deployable Range Package (DRP)

DRPs include all of the equipment, tools and instructions to establish and operate a training range in support of various combat units and their individual and crew-served weapons. Lifters for infantry and armor targets (both moving and stationary), along with generators, batteries, hammers, nails, tape and other small items needed to set up a training facility, are included in the containers shipped to the units. Target lifters are operated using handheld controllers that communicate via radio-frequency signals. The hand-held controllers allow training scenarios to be designed and run by range operators according to special unit needs. Master gunners responsible for conducting unit live-fire training are able to devise scenarios that use the available range space to its best advantage. If appropriate, the targetry can be divided among as many as three separate ranges allowing individual units to conduct their own mission-focused training.
