Major Components

MILES 2000 components include manworn systems for individual soldiers and marines as well as combat vehicles (including pyrotechnic devices), noncombat vehicles, antitank weapons, and pop-up target interface devices. These components - designed to be transparent to the training participant - provide higher fidelity and dramatic savings in life cycle costs.

Components include:

Individual Weapons System: Includes small, lightweight components mounted on either a vest or H-harness; and a Small Arms Transmitter mounted on the soldier's individual weapon or machine gun.

Combat Vehicle System: Features small components and a single cable system. Easy adaptation to combat vehicles used around the world.

Anti-tank System: Includes realistic surrogates that closely replicate the actual size, weight and functionality of the real weapon. Features accurate replication of the actual sighting and firing sequences.

Independent Target System: Adapts vehicle components to systems such as noncombat vehicles, generators, bunkers, etc. Time-tags and stores events for use in MILES 2000 AARs.

Firing Devices and Pyrotechnics: Offers new, safe devices and cartridges that simulate both the firing of the main tank gun as well as signifying hits on vehicles. The hit simulator can also be used in conjunction with a CTC-IS to simulate indirect fire.

After-Action Review System: Gives commanders the ability to conduct AARs based on objective information. Provides the capability to modify the configuration of the MILES 2000 equipment.
