Gradient Thermal Targets

Gradient Thermal Technology for Training Targets

Tech Valley Technologies' (TVT) patented gradient thermal target(GTT) can be used for thermal training exercises. This gradient thermal target generates precise temperature differentials that accurately represent the thermal signature of the simulated threat. TVT's Gradient Thermal Targets use a patented resistive matrix technology to control the temperature throughout the entire surface. This technology allows TVT to produce very realistic thermal images for a mulititude of target types.

Benefits:

• Can withstand 1600+ rounds of 5.56mm ammunition and still function.
• Increases the soldier's proficiency in correctly identify the threat before engaging.
• Simulate thermal signatures for 3D, E,F size silhouettes and armor targets.
• Anything can become a thermalized target when instrumented with gradient thermal technology.
• Combined with MRL's X-Y technology, target hits can be displayed on a remote computer.
• Exceptionally low power consumption. Perfect for battery operated sites.
• Exact replication of the real threat can be generated with Gradient Thermal Technology.

New E-Size GTT Targets E-Size GTT Targets after 1600+ 556 Rounds	Target Applications Our thermal membrane material can be bonded to many types of targets (Silhouettes, Tanks, Moving Vehicles, etc) When combined with our MRL technology our targets will not only thermally illuminate they can return real-time scoring as well.
	Gradient Thermal Target Unlike the other uniformly heated thermal targets, our gradient thermal target uses a patented technology to perfectly control the thermal signature. We have developed both AC and low power DC versions of silhouettes or armor targets that are unsurpassed in thermal signature replication. The DC Version draws less than 2 amps of current.
	Tech Valley Technologies Fat Ivan ICID targets Supply a triple spectrum signature of visual, I2 (Night Vision), and thermal. AC and DC versions are available. ICID target overlays come in Friend, Foe, and Unarmed Civilian signatures. VCID targets come in T-72, & Abrams M1 tank signatures.
	Tech Valley Technologies Armor thermal targets Friend/Foe armor targets can be programmed to produce a thermal image of a T-72 frontal one time and the next time it comes up that same SAT or MAT would have a M1A1 Abrams frontal thermal signature. This forces the fire control crew to assess the threat prior to engaging.
