However, the system will be used to lift and must be capable of mounting standard military frontal targets as identified in TC 25-8. The target must stay fixed in the up position until the required number of hits is detected or the lifter receives the down command from the Range Control Station. 2. The lifter must have a fail safe capability that will engage prior to the lifter experiencing damage due to winds or target movement interference. 3. The system with target must not interfere with and must fit within a pit (as viewed from the firing point) 15 feet wide, 15 -- 20 feet deep, with non-sloping walls that are 40 inches high that have cement slabs that are either 8x10 or 10x10 foot centered on the floor of the target pit. 4. The only pit modification allowed would involve the anchoring of the systems at Ft. Riley's 2 ranges (the MPRC and range 18). 5. The system cannot walk or overturn during operation. 6.

If you only want a tank to kill the target, it doesn't go down for less that 105mm, conversely, if you want a machine gun to kill it, any hit will do). f. The lifter must have a selectable address from a minimum of 1 -511 different addresses. g. The lifter must be capable of accepting 4x4 target support arms. h.
