Caliente SimIS, a joint venture between thermal target manufacturer Caliente and SimIS, specializing in robotic/modeling/simulation, introduced the next generation in moving target systems at the I/ITSEC Innovation Showcase on Monday.

The Caliente SimIS RHTT (Robotic Human Type Target) system is a mobile, four wheeled, robotic, trackless smart target developed for the military live fire training market and beyond. The robot will react to various levels of engagement, differentiating between lethal hits, non-lethal hits, and near misses to exhibit human like behaviors and reactions, including replicating threats. The Caliente SimIS RHTT improves training realism and accelerates the development of marksmanship and other human dimensions of warfighting by improving soldier readiness, situational awareness and resiliency.

Caliente SimIS has also released a white paper and spec sheet on the RHTT system, and will be demonstrating the unit at I/ITSEC Booth 533 through Thursday. More information can be found at http://www.calientesimis.com/.
