MPRI Announces the Invention of LCCATS
(September 15, 2004)--

Steve Baines
The Laser Convoy Counter Ambush Training System (LCCATS) is one of the most advanced small arms training systems in the world. With L-CCATS, soldiers and law enforcement professionals engage full-scale, computer controlled targets set at actual distances and placed in a number of actual terrain and combat scenarios. Using their own service weapons (M16, M4, M249, M240, M2 and M24 supported), shooters can ride in vehicles where they are introduced to the challenges of critical counter ambush driver skills, accurate fire from a moving platform, evasive maneuvers and spacing discipline training, and crew/team cohesion training. Moving over actual terrain, shooters learn to engage targets in multi-level buildings, overpasses, and conflicted lines of sight.

Because the full-scale, un-tethered targets detect hits out to 600 yards, sniper over watch can be added to any TTP. This system works outdoors, day or night, and instructors can monitor weapon muzzle reference during target engagement to prevent fratricide among vehicle occupants and vehicles in a convoy. One person can conduct set up in minutes. No range safety issues exist with this system; eye safe laser "bullets" mean training can be conducted anywhere, at any time. The LCCATS includes full-scale targets that detect LMTS laser hits to 600 meters in direct sunlight, lifters that plug into an existing LMTS Mini-RETS system, and system software with full scenario authorization.
