The KME MELFIRE is specifically designed for international operations, enabling troops to maintain their shooting skills and zero their weapons while abroad. The containers are rapid to deploy and easy to install. Shooting distances can vary from 25 metres up to whatever distance the user may desire. Electronic targets with individual monitors give immediate feedback to soldiers and instructors, with radio or wire communication between the target and firing containers. The results can easily be stored and printed out.

Powered by battery, generator or mains power, the system is environmentally correct since no projectiles (lead etc) are left in the nature. The target container is designed to be bullet proof and the rubber panels make it totally ricochet free. Time and money is saved compared to traditional shooting gallery infrastructure which cannot be disassembled and shipped home, or re-used in another operation area.

• Electronic targets (130 x 130 cm wide)
