Overview

Moving Infantry Target - MOUT

This Moving Infantry Target Mechanism (MIT) displays infantry targets and offers high performance, low maintenance cost and agile movement. Various speed and movement of the mechanism ensure diversified training scenarios. Representing moving threads, the MIT vigorously lifts target silhouettes up to 5 kg and moves with speeds up to 30 kph.

Typically, it is used on small arms firing ranges, MOUT ranges, and marksmanship training ranges.

At a glance:

• Allows various target movement
• Allows variable speed up to 30 kph
• Ensures diversified training scenarios
• Programmable and automatic modes
• Low clearance

The Moving Infantry Target - MOUT is also referred to as Standard Infantry Target.

Features

General Features

Mounted permanently behind a suitable protection wall or in a concrete target ditch, the Basic MIT is typically used out- and indoor on basic rifle and pistol training ranges. The Basic MIT vigorously lifts targets up to 5 kg and moves it with up to 20 kph.

• Realistic Training Environment

  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.

  This TTS Target appliance offers various movements and/or speeds to ensure diversified training scenarios and to avoid familiarization effects. For a highly flexible range layout on shooting ranges most TTS target equipment is designed in a way that its location can be altered without the need of infrastructure adaptations. If required our Equipment will be delivered meeting these requirements:

  • Man-portable
  • Powered by Batteries or Generator
  • Radio remote controlled

• Pop Up or Lifting Mode

  Pop Up or Lifting Mode

  The target raises out of a cover and lowers.
  

  

  Pop Up Mode - Raised

  This conventional mode allows the presentation of a target raising out of a cover and lowering to hide behind a drawback.
  

• Friend & Foe Mode

  Friend & Foe Mode

  Alternative presentation of a friend or a foe target is possible.
  

  

  SIT Swiveling

  This mode allows the alternative presentation of a friend or a foe target; the targets' side view represents the neutral position since the target board appears to be invisible. Typical applications are pistol shooting and special forces training.
  

• Shearing or Scissors Mode

  Shearing or Scissors Mode

  The silhouette can be sheared to the left or to the right
  

  

  SIT Scissoring

  This mode allows the presentation of a target spying around a corner. It can be used instead of the lifting mode when not enough space is available.
  

• Moving Infantry Mode

  Moving Infantry Mode

  This mode allows the presentation of a walking or running target. Various speeds allow realistic target behavior.

Qualitative Features

This MIT is equipped with a hardwearing electro gear. Electro gear, gear wheels and electronics are protected in a watertight cast aluminum housing for reliable long life operation.

Economical Features

This moving infantry target is using well-designed, almost unbreakable technology and non capsizable target trolleys. Hence this MIT delivers the operational reliability to maximize your rate of use and reduces down time.
The use of excellent, corrosion free materials reduces failures caused by climatic influences and thus customers’ maintenance costs considerably.

• Energy Efficiency

  With its standard 12 V-36 Ah battery the highly efficient design allows up to 20.000 movements (10.000 cycles) without charging.
  
  

Ergonomical Features

Components of this MIT are designed to allow installation by four persons at most and can be easily maintained by two people.

Components

The MIT, equipped with the THEISSEN-Cube©, lifts marksmanship training targets and animates moving infantry target silhouettes. Electro gear and electronics of the target mechanism are well protected for reliable and long life operation. The unique, stabile rail system allows high speeds and yet safe operation even in tough weather conditions.

• 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.

  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
  • Target illumination (optional)
  • Brightness of the illumination (optional)
