- Program Manager Training Devices (PM TRADE), in support of the Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), is soliciting industry feedback for the requirement to procure the Force-On-Target (FOT) Battlefield Effects Simulators (BES) II system with associated equipment, initial spares, New Equipment Training (NET), and installation support for the following range systems: Remote Target System/Enhanced Remote Target System RETS/ERETS, New Generation Army Targetry System (NGATS), Non-Instrumented (Small Arms), and Instrumented Ranges (Digital Range Training System (DRTS).

The FOT system will be used in day and night range exercises for visual and acoustic target recognition at stationary range positions with a target mechanism (lifter) or mounted on a moving target platform. The system is to be designed to produce a flash/bang and smoke signature which simulates/replicates a large caliber weapon fire of a hostile threat and/or an impact round on an armor target. The FOT device shall ensure the incorporation of the M34 (LA54) (Hostile Fire) Cartridges and M35 (LA53) (Target Hit) Cartridges.
