The Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) and the TOW ARTEP.
Abstract
The Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) is a training device which will permit two sided casualty assessment in the mock battlefield of training. MILES will revolutionize military training methods and techniques. Using MILES, the individual soldier receives immediate feedback as to the effects of his actions on the battlefield. By killing his opponent with the eye safe laser if he performs correctly and being killed if he errs, actions which will permit the soldier to perform effectively in the modern battlefield are reinforced. What is the impact of MILES on the Mechanized Infantry Battalion Army Training and Evaluation Program (ARTEP) 7-45 as it relates to antiarmor training and evaluation of the TOW guided missile section in the mechanized infantry company. A significantly revised TOW squad/section ARTEP training and evaluation outline is the end result of this study. Changes include use of MILES to: refine gunner tracking techniques, pinpoint defensive positions, check range cards, check fire control techniques, and establish a pass/fail criteria for two-sided engagements in terms of number of enemy killed vs. number of TOWs lost in the TOW section.
