Meggitt Training Systems was awarded additional delivery orders worth US $17.7M to support the US Army’s Targetry Systems program with TACOM, the US Army Contracting Command in Warren, Michigan. This brings Meggitt’s total program value to US $30.5M. As one of the US Army’s largest weapon systems research and development organizations, the TACOM program provides equipment for live-fire training ranges at US Army installations worldwide.

Under these delivery orders, Meggitt will deliver more than 1,850 stationary and mobile infantry targets; more than 165 mobile and stationary field armored targets; as well as target controllers and various interfacing devices. Equipment will be delivered and installed within Army bases across the US and Europe. These ranges are designed to develop and improve combat skills used to conduct military exercises, and facilitate participation in actual combat action.

The Army Targetry Systems Program (ATS) is used to procure live-fire training ranges installed at various locations throughout the world. Similar systems are in service with forces in the US, South Korea and Europe.

Ronald Vadas, President, Meggitt Training Systems, commented: “Meggitt’s long standing association with the ATS program coupled with the delivery of these new targetry systems further solidifies our valued relationship with the US Army. The Meggitt-provided systems will ensure our soldiers remain mission ready.”
