Mission
Instrumentable-Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System Tactical Vehicle System (I-MILES TVS) - Simulate both the firing capabilities and the vulnerabilities of the vehicle as well as to serve as a means to objectively assess weapons’ effects during training; to provide unit commanders an integrated training system for use at Home Station local training areas and instrumented training areas and Combat Training Centers (CTCs).
Description
Instrumentable-Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System Tactical Vehicle System (I-MILES TVS) provides real time casualty effects necessary for tactical engagement training in direct fire, force-on-force training scenarios and instrumented training scenarios. It replaces all basic MILES systems currently fielded on non-turreted military vehicles, from commercial vehicles through the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) and Stryker families of vehicles, and can be used independently on fixed structures, i.e. bridges. The TVS improves on the “wireless” function of the Wireless Independent Target System (WITS), permitting a “weapons link” between the system’s target detectors and the Small Arms Transmitter (SAT) used by personnel on the tactical vehicle; adding the capability of killing both the vehicle and the onboard small arms weapon system. Instrumentation interface is provided for CTC use and includes Global Positioning System (GPS), crew-served weapons interface and battery eliminator functionality. I-MILES TVS is fielded Army-wide in accordance with the MILES Basis of Issue Plan (BOIP).
