Overview

Stationary Armor Target - Heavy

Heavy SATs serve typically on combined arms and multi purpose ranges, and simulate appearing and disappearing tank targets. The powerful hydraulic drive endows the SAT with an enormous lifting capacity and a smooth and sturdy lifting process even at large target silhouettes.

Although extra powerful, our universal target lifter remains deployable and can be carried by four field service personnel. Due to its stabile protection frame installation does not require much groundwork. In its typical version it can operate battery powered and remains independent from any infrastructure defaults. Once brought out in any battlefield scenario or tank or anti armor training range it vigorously presents almost any armor target silhouette.

At a glance:

• For full-scale flank tank targets
• Sturdy, strong and reliable
• Very low clearance
• Steadfast and repositionable
• Stackable
• Environmental friendly due to in-house hydraulics

NATO forces have purchased more than 1,250 large SAT units so far.

The Stationary Armor Target - Heavy is also referred to as PKS, Panzerklappscheibe, Heavy Tank Lifter, TTM.

  Realistic Training Environment

  Several add-ons and accessories are available for TTS target mechanisms to increase training realism and stress.
  

  Enemy fire simulators and hit indicators are added to the target appliances and are used to give a more realistic training environment. The simulators make use of standard pyrotechnic ammunition or are non -pyrotechnic simulators, increasing the safety of the range personnel while reducing the life cycle costs. As more and more modern weapon systems are equipped with infrared night visors, all our target appliances can be equipped with thermal target heating systems, which provide a thermal image on the target that can be clearly identified.

• SAT/MAT LOMAH Application

  SAT/MAT LOMAH Application

  All TTS Equipment can be delivered with a preinstalled LOMAH Interface to allow future upgrades to high precision hit evaluation and cutting edge training workflow.

  All TTS equiptment comes with adjustable piezo hit sensors to evaluate firing results, but today's state-of the-art technology employs automatic marking and scoring systems, mostly called LOMAH (Location Of Miss And Hit) Systems. Our own LOMAH System allows the correct detection/ location of a hit on the target and is  even able to detect the exact location of near misses without the need of special target material.  This results in a  highly efficient training workflow, and in combination with a TACF of a RCU an instand after action review. And this finally reduces requirements for ammuntion, consumables, time and money.

Qualitative Features

Tested in arctic conditions at -25° C the battery powered version is frugal enough to lift a large target board ( 3 m height, 7 m width) 130 cycles without recharging.

Economical Features

Rugged design and easy maintenance provide long life with low operating cost.

Ergonomical Features

In its protection frame the SAT can be conveniently carried. Designed avoiding sharp edges it offers easy and safe handling to the range staff. For transport and storage it can be safely stacked and stored.

Components

• Piezo Hit Indication

  Piezo Hit Indication

  TTS Target equipment is supplied with a remotely adjustable Piezo Hit Indication.
  

  

  Piezzo Hit Indicator

  The dependable TTS Piezo Hit Indication has a reliability of hit recording better than 98% for almost all calibers. Hits are reported back to the controller. To obtain perfect results the sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted remotely by the controller. In the recordable range is live fire ammunition as well as paint ball ammunition.

• Military grade connectors

  TTS uses only 100% scoop proof, military grade connectors.
  

  

  Military Grade Connectors

  TTS uses only 100% scoop proof, hermetic connectors made from high strength aluminum shells and qualified to specifications MIL-DTL-38999, EN 3645 and JN 1034. The olive drab cadmium over nickel shell plating provides even salt spray corrosion protection. The threaded coupling with self-locking ensures anti-vibration integrity.

• Heavy Duty Target Fastener

  Heavy Duty Target Fastener

  Armor target mechanisms are supplied with a sturdy, powder coated target fastener.
  

  

  Target Holder Heavy

  To avoid heavy weight this part is made from high-grade cast aluminum and to make it wear resistant it is supported with stainless steel inlays. It's little weight allows swift movements, reinforcement prevents creep fatigue and powder coating ensures weather resistance.

  The Heavy Duty Target Fastener is also referred to as Scheibenhalter.

• Hydraulic System
