When support weapons are involved, hitting a moving vehicle isn’t a skill you can improvise. It has to be trained.
Static targets fall short of preparing units for real-world vehicle threats. That gap is exactly what the Support Weapons Vehicle Target System was built to solve.
Built for Mission-Critical Vehicle Engagement
The Support Weapons Vehicle Target System delivers a 12-foot moving vehicle silhouette designed specifically for high-intensity military training. Modeled after a Toyota Hilux profile, the system provides a realistic visual reference that mirrors vehicles commonly encountered in operational environments.
This is not a lightweight range prop. It is a purpose-built training system designed to support:
Machine guns
Recoilless rifles
Anti-armor drills
Heavy weapons live-fire exercises
Whether your unit is training with 5.56, 7.62, .50 cal (where permitted), 84mm TP rounds, or inert anti-armor rounds, the system is engineered to take repeated hits while maintaining consistent movement and reliability.

Designed for Realistic Movement, Not Guesswork
Real vehicle engagements are dynamic. Speed, timing, and target tracking matter.
This system moves smoothly along dual guide cables at speeds of up to 6 mph, creating realistic lateral vehicle movement across the range.
The consistent motion allows units to practice:
Lead calculation on moving vehicles
Weapon system coordination
Engagement timing under realistic conditions
Crew communication and fire control
Because the movement is predictable and repeatable, instructors can run drills consistently across multiple iterations and crews, then adjust complexity as needed.

Modular, Transportable, and Range-Ready
The silhouette is constructed from three 4×4 wood panels that connect on-site to form the 12-foot vehicle profile. This modular design makes transport and setup practical without sacrificing realism.
Once assembled, the panels lock into place and integrate seamlessly with the electronic carriage system. Setup is straightforward, allowing units to focus on training rather than range logistics.
What’s Included
Each Support Weapons Vehicle Target System ships as a complete training solution, including:
Electronic carriage system
Three vehicle silhouette panels
All required cables and mounting hardware
Winch and tensioning system
Setup and operating instructions
Select spare parts for field support
Everything needed to deploy the system is included, with no unnecessary extras or complex infrastructure requirements.
Training That Matches Real-World Demands
If your unit is looking to upgrade support weapons training with realistic vehicle motion, this system was built with that mission in mind.
