"I-MILES TVS uses laser emitters that attach to military weapons and on-body sensors to replicate combat and records for review later on."

I-MILES TVS is a latest generation tactical engagement simulation system designed to provide direct-fire, force-on-force and force-on target collective training to troops at home stations and manoeuvre combat training centres (CTC).

Equipped with a wireless independent target system (WITS), I-MILES uses laser emitters that attach to military weapons and on-body sensors to replicate combat and records for review later on.

Capable of providing real-time casualty assessment during training scenarios, the system replaces all basic MILES systems that are currently installed on non-turreted military vehicles.
