MISSION:
To provide the methods and procedures for the management, utilization, operation, control and support of foreign mobile ground targets, surrogate assets and equipment.
DESCRIPTION:
Mobile Ground Target Operations (MGTO) provides the methods and procedures for the management, utilization, operation, control and support of foreign mobile ground targets, surrogate assets and equipment. MGTO consists of a fleet of operational foreign vehicles and equipment used as targets for test and evaluation. The vehicles are located at five primary operating centers (POCs) that have the capability to perform operations and maintenance of the foreign assets. The POC locations are Aberdeen Test Center, MD; Eglin Air Force Base, FL; Redstone Test Center , AL; White Sands Missile Range , NM; and Yuma Test Center , AZ. TMO has established a training course that provides instruction on safe operations and preventive maintenance checks and services procedures for foreign ground assets. A “train-the-trainer” program provides annual refresher training for operators. The objective of the MGTO is to support the testing and training community’s target needs as fully, efficiently and effectively as possible. Only properly trained personnel (civil service and support contractors) operate and maintain these assets. Vehicles can be transported to various locations for tests. Customers are responsible for transportation costs. Currently the MGTO inventory has more than 350 assets available for testing or training events.
