Targets for U.S. Army infantry and armored units have been ordered from Meggitt Training Systems for use at live-fire training ranges.

The order, in support of the Army Targeting Systems program, was issued by the Army's TACOM Life Cycle Command. It carries a value of $17.7 million.

"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 U.S. Army," said Ronald Vadas, president, Meggitt Training Systems. "The Meggitt-provided systems will ensure our soldiers remain mission ready."

Meggitt said it will deliver more than 1,850 stationary and mobile infantry targets, more than 165 mobile and stationary field armored targets, and target controllers and various interfacing devices under the award.

The targets will be delivered and installed at Army bases in the United States and Europe.

Meggitt said the new order brings its supply of target systems for the Army program to $30.5 million.
