Final Environmental Assessment for Constructing and Operating Remoted Target Systems at Avon Park Air Force Range, Florida

Abstract

Avon Park Air Force Range lacks moving targets for helicopter door gunnery training and proposes to build and operate two remoted target systems on Oscar Range. One is a cart and rail system that moves a silhouette of a vehicle, while the other is a series of pop-up targets that simulate infantry targets. The targets are designed to accommodate door gunnery primarily, ground-to-ground machine gun training secondarily.
