Targeted improvements

THE ADF is about to receive the first batch of new target systems that will enable combat shooting training to international standards.

Albury companies Milspec and Australian Target Systems (ATS) have been selected to provide the systems, valued at $4.3 million.

The contract involves the delivery of 600 Portable Infantry Target Systems to practice, assess and validate combat shooting skills in a field environment. The new systems replace 30-year-old target systems that have become unreliable and are outdated in the face of new weapons, battlefield tactics and munitions.
