Combat Shooting Realism – Integrated Land Targetry System (ILTS)

Project Overview

Proxenus was selected to lead the Australian Army’s Integrated Land Targetry System (ILTS) Program – Project BARMINI – aimed at overhauling combat shooting realism for both Infantry and Armoured Corps. The program delivered cutting-edge targetry systems and transitioned ILTS into a formalised CASG-managed capability.

Delivered by Proxenus

  • Managed the full delivery of Infantry and Armoured target systems
  • Developed enhanced realism using combat imagery and decals
  • Tested and certified a suite of static and moving targetry systems
  • Led transition planning into a permanent Defence program structure
  • Evaluated and matured new technologies to meet Defence TRL benchmarks

Key Achievements

  • Delivered multiple Corflute™ Series targets (Figure 9, 11, 12)
  • Developed and certified reduced-range steel targets and sniper plates
  • Introduced and validated robotic targets – Marathon (Infantry) and RAIDER (Armoured)
  • Aligned RAIDER system with ADF operational, safety, and mobility standards
  • Supported integration into Marksmanship Training Ranges nationwide
  • Enabled first use of mobile moving targets in live-fire training across Army

Accreditations & Capability

  • Proxenus engineers are CPEng certified – essential for testing and certification
  • Access to VicPol-accredited firing range supported in-house validation
  • Proxenus provided Technology Readiness Level (TRL) uplift and certification expertise
  • Target systems delivered by Proxenus remain in active national service

Outcome

The ILTS program modernised Army’s targetry landscape. Proxenus enabled the rollout of a comprehensive and certified system still in use across Australia’s Defence Training Areas. The success of ILTS positioned Proxenus as a national leader in live-fire realism and combat readiness support.

This project:

  • Revolutionised Army’s live-fire training realism
  • Demonstrated Proxenus’ mastery in rapid Defence acquisition, TRL advancement, and target system certification
