The newly released MTS-916-6 variant enables the MTS-916 to be used to evaluate AGM-65E/E2/L laser Maverick seeker heads as well as AGM-114B/K/M/N/R versions of the Hellfire missile using the same I-level equipment.

The MTS-916-7 variant is designed to validate laser guided Paveway munitions including the MAU-169, which will extend the flexibility and utility of the MTS-916 family.

Marvin Test Solutions chief executive officer USAF (retired) major general Steve Sargeant said: "The latest versions of the MTS-916 family follow through on our mission to introduce greater commonality and ease of use into armament test by providing maintainers with a common test solution for the popular AGM-65 and AGM-114 weapons systems, considerably simplifying logistics and sustainment costs for operators.

With the new releases, the MTS-916 is now available in seven distinct configurations, including MTS-916-1, which is used with TV and charge-coupled device Maverick seekers, the MTS-916-2 used with infra-red Maverick seekers, and the MTS-916-3 that combines the capabilities of the MTS-916-1 and MTS-916-2.

The MTS-916-4 is used with laser Maverick seekers, while the MTS-916-5 is used with laser Hellfire seekers.

Originally designed to replace the ageing AN/DSM-129 and the AN/DSM-787 simulators, the MTS-916 is fully compatible with any Maverick tester using such legacy simulators, including the AN/DSM-157 and the MTS-206, which can test Maverick and Hellfire missiles as well as LAU-117 and LAU-88 launchers.

The MTS-916 target simulators have been successfully deployed in many countries worldwide.
