Human Type Targets
Mobile, four wheeled, robotic trackless targets for the military marksmanship training markets and beyond
Overview
The Human Type Targets (HTT) system is a mobile, trackless smart target that provides more realistic moving training targets. HTT isn’t constrained to certain parts of the range and is deployable in a wide range of operating environments and terrain. The system is semi-autonomous, featuring the ability to preprogram scenarios with technology to capture data such as Location of Hit and Miss (LOMAH) for both instant feedback to the trainee as well as After-Action Reviews (AAR) built in.
Challenges
- Current solutions for mobile targets are limited
- Little on‐board intelligence capable of supporting a realistic training experience
- Lack of sensor support
- Limited user controls
- Target data limited to observational skills and tactical abilities of the control crew
Features
- 3D torso uses self‐healing ballistic polymer and covered with training specific clothing
- Preprogram scenarios supports data capture such as Location of Miss and Hit (LOMAH)
- Torso resets to the raised position remotely requiring no human intervention
- Behavioral Logic and Control Module (LCM)
- Manually operated or semi-autonomous to operate within scenario defined geospatial boundaries
- On Demand Remote Control Module
- Supports Geospatial Infrastructure and Standards for Autonomous Vehicles levels I through 4
- Complies with IEEE 1872 standard for robotic and automation ontologies and NIST robot message language guidelines
Benefits
- Stability on all types of terrains (indoor and outdoor, wet and dry, paved and unpaved)
- Easily interchangeable mount
- Provides Smart Targets
- Dynamic interactive scenarios involving both groups of targets and civilian robots
- Modular Design and Development
- Exhibits human like behaviors and reactions
- Reacts to various levels of engagement
- Differentiates between lethal hits, non-lethal hits, and near misses
