Thermal Targets specialises in designing and manufacturing cutting-edge thermal targets tailored for military training applications. Our battery-powered targets emit customisable heat signatures that replicate a wide array of shapes, including tanks, armoured vehicles, stoves, generators, and more. Strategically deployable within various terrains—whether concealed in foliage, snow, or fog—they remain detectable to thermal scopes due to their distinctive heat signatures.

• Specialised Tank Targets
  
  
  • Realistic Heat Mapping: Apply our targets to mock-ups to simulate specific heat-generating components such as engines, wheels, exhaust systems, turrets, guns, track skirts, coolant systems, and thermal enclosures.
  • Engine Differentiation: Distinguish between brighter gas turbine engines and large turbo diesels to enhance recognition training.
  • Enhanced Training Scenarios: Aid tank crews in spotting enemy pop-up targets during live-fire exercises spanning up to 5 km.

• Small Arms and Sniper Targets
  
  
  • Durability: Designed to withstand multiple shots while maintaining functionality, provided the electrode remains intact.
  • Heat Paint Technology: Unlike traditional wire-based targets, our heat paint continues to operate effectively even after sustaining numerous hits.

• Integration Expertise
  
  
  • Proven experience in interfacing with existing target field systems for seamless integration into your training programs.
  • Recent collaboration with the Australian Defence Force to refine specialised products for both small arms and armoured vehicle exercises.
