1 SCOPE

This performance specification defines the performance requirements of the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) Individual Weapon System (IWS) and associated equipment.

1.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The MILES Individual Weapon System (IWS) requirement is for the replacement of the existing U.S. Army direct fire ground based MILES devices (Basic MILES) with the laser-based Tactical Engagement Simulation (TES) training devices. All MILES systems and devices will be downwardly operational compatible with the Basic MILES and MILES 2000 training devices. The MILES system will be fielded worldwide and used in all geographical areas. The MILES will not require new manpower assets, personnel requirements, or qualifications.

1.2 BACKGROUND

The family of the Basic MILES was developed in the early 1980’s using technology and designs then available. The Army has identified the need for enhanced force-on-force simulation of armor and anti-armor devices. The enhancements will include player identification (PID), fratricide identification, multiple levels of kill, and vulnerability due to direction of attack. New weapons, ammunition, and weapon performance will be accommodated.

(2) Ammo Type

(3) PID

b. Be compatible with Laser Transmitter codes fired from MILES systems and:

(2) Utilize detectors with maximum response centered in the 904.5±25 nanometers range.

(3) Pair throughout 360 degrees of detection coverage in azimuth and ±45 degrees of detection coverage in elevation off the centerline of the target.

(4) Create a statistical shot pattern that meets the requirements below:

(a) The statistical hit profile for the front and back of the Manworn System and the sides of the MILES 2000 TOW shall consist of a collection of aim points that pair the MILES man kill words and PID from the following Laser Transmitter Unit with the corresponding Target System. This profile, when measured in the dryfire mode at the midpoint of the Weapon’s effective range, shall be larger than a circle with a diameter of 0.2 meters and shall fit inside a rectangle measuring 1.5 meters in the horizontal plane and 2.5 meters in the vertical plane.

(5) Process the electronic signals to decode the MILES code messages IAW PMT-90-S002. For missile engagements, initiate the casualty determination after 22 missile code messages are received within the tracking interval specified in PMT-90-S002, the initiation of the casualty determination shall not be dependent on the closing of the decoder’s tracking interval window. In the event that the number of messages for a casualty evaluation is received before the tracking interval (decoding window) ends, the casualty assessment shall be made at that point.

c. Contain externally programmable Probability of kill (Pk) data for each MILES code number. All Pk values shall be externally programmable independently of the re-loading of the system software. The TDTD shall have the capability to upload a custom Pk table.

d. Process the decoded message in conjunction with a Pk factor in a MILES lethality algorithm and the target/weapon hierarchy specified in PMT-90-S002 to assess the effect of the attacking weapon on the attacked MILES system. In the event that only the MILES code portion of the message is decoded (no valid PID is decoded) the Manworn System shall still perform the casualty assessment.

e. Generate the following audio signals to trigger the following actions upon completion of casualty assessment effect on a target:

(1) Two tones for Manworn System’s near miss indication.

(2) Continuous tones for the Manworn System’s kill indication.

f. Process the PID portion of each engagement message group for linkage with lethality assessment.

g. Provide with an internal clock containing day, month, year, and time information synchronized by the Controller Device to a 30 second accuracy in a 96 hour period. The time display format shall be XXYYZZ or XX:YY:ZZ—where XX represents hours (00-24), YY represents minutes, and ZZ represents seconds.

h. Record and store MILES events that occur during a training exercise. The event recorder shall have sufficient memory capacity for storing the data of the last 500 events.

Recorded data shall be retained under low power conditions and battery removal. Host PID shall be recorded with all events. The event data fields to be stored and displayed shall include the following:

(1) Initiation events, to include power up and Laser Transmitter association.

(2) Lethality assessment events, to include hit, kill, and near miss.

(a) Synchronized time of event

(b) Lethality assessment

(c) PID of attacker

(d) Weapon and ammunition type

(e) Determination of fratricide by comparison of shooter and target PID

(3) Cheat Events, to include tampering attempts.

(a) Synchronized time of event

(b) Cheat category description

(4) Administrative events, to include time synchronization, administrative kills, resurrect, reset, and commanded BIT results.

(a) Synchronized time of event

(b) Administrative category description

i. When a casualty has been assessed, during both day and night conditions, display the weapon type causing casualty and the casualty assessment. The message shall remain displayed for 7.5 ±2.5 seconds.

j. Visually display, upon recall, no less than the 16 most recently recorded events.

The scrolled messages shall remain displayed for 7.5 ±2.5 seconds. At a minimum, the following information shall be available for display:

(1) Results of last event (Kill/hit/near-miss)

(2) PID of attacking player/weapon system when killed

(3) Low battery indication

(4) BIT failure (by type)

(5) Host platform PID

(6) Synchronized time of an event in military format to the nearest second

k. Provide an interface that shall be used to manually select a PK table. This action shall require controller personnel interaction via MILES Code 35 with the associated PID and shall not be independently available to the user.

l. Allow transfer of the stored event data.

m. Allow download of vulnerability Pks and other data that programs the device to allow it to assume the role and performance characteristics of the system on which it will be installed. The data to be transferred shall include the following:

(1) OPFOR PID

(2) BLUEFOR PID

(3) Vulnerability and Pk data

n. Capability to prevent the host system from assessing a self kill from its own encoded laser transmission. The laser transmission is composed of the MILES code, Player ID, and Ammo Type. The self kill assessment shall be based on all three components of the laser transmission.

o. Provide a means to detect player efforts to inhibit MILES system equipment performance. Whenever the player tampers with a MILES system to interfere with normal power supply, cable connections, detectors, semi-permanent memory data storage unit, and controller’s interface when it is locked to the player, the system shall detect a tamper attempt and perform a kill on the MILES system. The tamper attempt shall be stored in the event storage.

p. Retain all stored information regardless of system power status.

q. Contain an event memory clear function to allow only controller personnel to clear the event memory.

s. Perform a MILES catastrophic kill at the time of system power up.
