I really appreciate this and the extra efforts you’ve put into this purchase [of thermal targets] are the kind of things that make a company outshine its competitors in the market. We won’t forget this! Myself and the government office I support were very excited to find Calienté and I have really enjoyed working with everyone at the company.
Military Thermal Targets
Thermal Targets
Calienté’s thermal, passive, and table thermalization targets are engineered to deliver the most realistic threat-level thermal signatures on the market, providing warfighters and range officers with the fidelity needed to maximize night vision and advanced optics training. Modern high-performance systems demand more than a simple heat source downrange—Calienté targets replicate true thermal profiles to drive greater training effectiveness and operational proficiency.
Built on an innovative design, these live-fire targets incorporate semi-self-healing materials that withstand repeated, concentrated center-mass impacts without failure, delivering proven durability of up to five times more hits than competing solutions. Their robust construction ensures reliable performance in extreme cold, heat, and wind conditions encountered at military installations worldwide. Powered targets feature welded, encapsulated power connectors that provide increased pull strength and enhanced safety, reducing the risk of fire-causing electrical shorts and improving range maintenance safety.
Leading Supplier
Since introducing these products in 2013, Calienté has been the leading supplier of live-fire thermal targets to the U.S. Military and its allied forces, offering a market-leading return on investment measured by hits per target. The company provides the broadest and most durable lineup in the industry, including 120V systems (consumable and platform thermalization for SITs and SATs), 12V battery-powered solutions, and passive, non-powered targets designed for diverse training environments. All systems are built to UL electrical safety standards, and Calienté is ITAR certified, ensuring full compliance with defense and export control requirements.
