Robotic – Moving Target System (R-MTS) (Navy)
Abstract
A successful FCT will provide the United States Marine Corps (USMC) with a free roaming, pre-programmable mobile target system that simulates realistic human movements and responses in an urban combat environment. This is a two-year project under sponsorship of the FCT and Marine Corps Systems Command, Program Manager Training Systems. Projected test and evaluation completion date by FY 2011. The primary outputs and efficiencies to be demonstrated in the FCT are: (1) improved marksmanship skills; (2) tactical decision making proficiency; (3) analytical abilities that will result in the combat efficacy of engaging moving life-like targets with live-fire and maneuver; and (4) avoid RDT&E and procurement costs of $11.930 million while providing a Return on Investment (ROI) of 13:1.
