Theissen Training Systems - Live Fire Target Training Systems

Theissen Training Systems (TTS) is one of the leading manufacturers of live fire target systems. With in-depth expertise and extensive experience we can offer the right training solution to any challenge in live fire applications. Take a look on some selected products:

ANTI-ARMOUR POP-UP TARGET SYSTEMS – AAPUTS

Theissen's Heavy Stationary Armour Target (Heavy SAT) mechanisms simulate appearing and disappearing full-scale tank targets with dimensions up to 7m x 3m. The powerful hydraulic drive with its low clearance endows the SAT with an enormous lifting capacity and a smooth and sturdy lifting process even at large target silhouettes.

ANTI-ARMOUR MOVING TARGET SYSTEMS - AAMTS

This rail-guided moving armour target is a powerful and fast moving armour target and is typically used to present transversing full-sized flank tank targets. Since modern arms with computerized gun fire control systems require full size target boards, this Moving Armour Target (MAT) is developed for heavy tank and RPG training ranges. It can move pop-up targets up to a size of 7m x 3m. The target can be moved freely on the track at various speeds up to 60km/h and can perform various actions.

SMALL ARMS POP-UP TARGET SYSTEMS – SAPU / MOUT - SITs

Multifunctional infantry targets are available to train marksmanship, tactical live-fire operations and Military Operations in Urbanized Terrain (MOUT). Theissen infantry mechanisms are utilizing the target cube, allowing four different operational modes simply by turning the cubical drive unit. Besides the standard pop-up mode, the target cube supports slashing, swivelling and scissoring target presentation.

Adapters are available for rising and dodging modes. A deployable, battery powered and radio-controlled version comes in a transport frame for convenient stacking and transportation. TTS infantry target lifters are one-man portable.

LOCATION OF MISS AND HIT (LOMAH) - NON-CONTACT HIT SENSOR SYSTEM AND BOX TARGETS

For precision shooting applications on rifle and pistol shooting ranges, TTS offers electronic marking and scoring technology for both supersonic and subsonic projectiles. The Location Of Miss And Hit System (LOMAH) is a non–contact hit detection system for supersonic armour and infantry projectiles and allows the precise location of hits within a user defined area as well as near misses.

The electronic box target system registers supersonic and subsonic hits and locates the hit position with exceptional accuracy. Results can be precisely evaluated and immediately displayed on the range control systems or shooter monitors. Lane discriminators allow impeachable hit counting and scoring.

ENEMY FIRE AND EFFECT SIMULATORS

TTS non-pyrotechnic enemy fire and effect simulators resemble the bang and the gun smoke of a hostile tank, or anti-tank weapon. Night illumination devices, laser sensors and various simulators creating the impression of muzzles flashes, thermal human and vehicle signatures, hostile fire, battle sounds and gun smoke are available for all TTS appliances.

TRAINING AREA CONTROL FACILITY (TACF) AND RANGE CONTROL UNITS

The range operator can control target appliances and simulators with a hardwired or radio-linked TACF desktop or a radio-linked laptop computer. The training instructor can operate all target appliances remotely with a hand held Range Control Unit (RCU). Depending on the product the status of the target appliance, the speed and position of moving targets, the number of movements of a silhouette, the actual number of hits, the exact position of hits and even near misses can be displayed.

RANGE IN A BOX – CONTAINERIZED AND DEPLOYABLE TARGET SYSTEMS

The 'Range In A Box' system is a complete package including modern targetry equipment and multifunctional container infrastructure. The modular concept allows a customized solution specifically composed for each customer's requirements. Autonomous and modular targetry equipment allows operation around the globe.

Our battery powered and radio-controlled deployable targets are specifically designed to provide easy instalment and allow dynamic and scalable training during out-of-area missions. Container systems with diesel generators, solar panels and chemical WC facilities are available to create a temporary range control centre.
