Overview

Moving Infantry Target - Advanced

The Advanced MIT displays moving infantry targets and offers high performance, multiple functions and low maintenance. Various speeds and movements of the mechanism ensure diversified training scenarios. Representing moving threads, the Advanced MIT vigorously lifts target silhouettes up to 5 kg and moves with speeds up to 30 kph. It impresses by virtue of its good acceleration and remotely adjustable speed. An all-purpose trolley and a second infantry lifter can be offered optionally to further increase flexibility in the training scenario.

The highly modular concept of the Advanced MIT allows the use of infantry and light armor target equipment on the trolley. The lifting mechanism is exchangeable and detachable. This modular training system is offering all state of the art functions, high quality and excellent training functionality.

At a glance:

• Multifunctional
• Various speeds and movements
• programmable and automatic modes
• Does only require little site preparation
• Additional trolleys and lifters optional
• Out- and Indoor use

The Moving Infantry Target - Advanced is also referred to as Moving Infantry Target, ILZ, Infanterielaufziel.

Features

General Features

Advanced MIT, equipped with the Target-Cube, lifts marksmanship training targets and animates moving infantry target silhouettes. The unique, stabile rail system allows high speeds and yet safe operation even in tough weather conditions.

• Realistic Training Environment

  TTS products increase training realism and stress.
  

  

  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.

Qualitative Features

This moving infantry target is using well-designed, almost unbreakable technology and thus delivers the reliability to maximize operational rate of use.
The use of excellent corrosion free materials reduces failures caused by climatic influences and thus customer’s maintenance costs considerably.

Economical Features

Replacing the lifting mechanism (e.g. for service work) by any other spare TTS stationary lifter can be done in minutes and ensures minimal downtime.

• Energy Efficiency

  Energy Efficiency

Components

• Diamond Rail

  Diamond Rail

  TTS's solution to safe and optimized operation of moving targets is the Diamond-Rail.
  

  

  Diamond-Rail

  TTS's Solution to safe and optimized operation of moving targets is the Daimond-Rail. It guarantees continuous use / conveyance / exercise even if one wheel is damaged. The shape allows counter wheels to take hold of the rail and makes it impossible to capsize a trolley. Diamond shaped rails manufactured from high grade stainless or galvanized steel galvanized iron are providing enough surface for the 8 wheels to carry a target trolley. Standard delivery includes mounting spikes. Color-coding makes installation quick and easy.
  

  At a glance:
  

  • Safe and Optimzed Operation
  • Stainless Steel or Galvanized Steel
  • Easy Installation
    
  
  

  The Diamond Rail is also referred to as Diamond Rail, Diamond shaped Rail.

  Technical Specifications

  The rail system comes in a typical length of 6 and 3 m pieces.
  

• Counter Wheel

  Counter Wheel

  Due to unique counter wheels TTS's moving targets keep on the track.
  

  

  Counter Wheel

  Through the unique design, derailing and capsizing can be eliminated. This bonus of security allows higher speeds and additional running smoothness than traditional rails. Also, the operation of the rail system is not limited to windless days but can withstand wind speeds up 60 km/h.
  

  At a glance:
  

  • Prevents Capsizing
  • Allows Higher Speeds
    

• Drive Mechanism

  Drive Mechanism

  This powerful drive moves TTS target equipment.
  

  

  MMT Drive & End Buffer

  The drive unit is stackable and can be moved easily.
  

• Target Cube

  Target Cube

  The target mechanism`s basic component assures swift movements of targets.
  

  

  Theissen cube

  The Target Cube is lifting any infantry target silhouette precisely and vigorously to simulate a suddenly appearing and disappearing infantry target. It can be programmed to create lifting, slashing, turning or swiveling movements.
  

  The Target Cube’s world-patented 4 in 1-technology makes this product also economical. This principle avoids extra costs for storage of spare parts, which would be needed if separate devices for the four purposes would be used. Likewise, less training is required causing a significant reduction of maintenance costs.

  The Target Cube allows multiple target movements. It can be fixed with a stainless steel clamp in two different positions allowing the following moves:

  • Lifting (raising/lowering)
  • Shearing (shearing up/shearing down)
  • Slashing (swinging in/swinging out/neutral)
  • Turning or Swiveling (friend/foe/neutral)

  With an Add-On the Target Cube© can even be swiftly modified to allow a sliding target presentation.

  The Target Cube is also referred to as SAPU Würfel, Theissen-Cube.

• Target Controller

  Target Controller

  Most target mechanisms are supplied with a lightweight Target Controller.
  

  

  Target Controller

  The controller's housing is made from powder coated, high-grade aluminum. To avoid internal corrosion and to maintain a consistent and optimal performance under all environmental conditions, from equator to the poles, the housing is sealed with a premium sealant. The configurable settings are addressing the complexity of military training and allows a variety of custom operating settings:

  • Number of hits to drop the target
  • Display time, for which the target shall be shown
  • Delay time, after which the target will be raised again automatically
  • Sensitivity of hit sensor
