Portable ranges are ranges that will be used in an austere environment without standard range features. Portable SITs and SATs shall be provided in a 3-D Self- Contained Units (SCU). The SCU shall allow the TMs to be completely contained and radio-controlled (i.e., use batteries, generators, solar panels, radio transmitters/receivers, etc.), and shall use an RF Handheld Computer (HHC) or a Range Control Computer (RCC) to control downrange hardware. Portable stationary TMs and all its components shall be mounted within the 3-D area of the SCU. The SIT target arm (when in the exposed position only), the silhouette, the SAT target arms, and the radio antenna are the only components allowed to have portions of each that extend beyond the 3-D area. Each portable TM and component required for operation shall have a designated mounting location within the SCU. The SCU shall have a mounting location to hold the SAT arms after they have been removed. The SCU shall have a mounting location to hold a radio. If multiple radios are used to fulfill the requirements of the DO, then one of the radios is allowed to be mounted on the TM while the other is mounted in the radio mounting location of the SCU. For the TM and its components, the mounting provisions shall allow each to be removed from the SCU in less than five minutes. The design of the SCU shall include at least two handles or grasp areas for the SIT and four for the SAT. The SCU shall be made of stainless steel or aluminum.

3.2.5. Track Bed

The MIT/MAT track bed will be defined in the DO, and may consist of existing concrete, dirt, or gravel track bed. The amount of surface variation in aggregate pavement cannot be guaranteed. If the track bed has existing railroad crossties, the DO will state if they can be reused or need to be replaced. In some cases, railroad crossties may not be an option, and stakes will be required to anchor the track to the emplacement floor. If during the site visit a contractor discovers an anomaly from the requirements of the DO or an issue that may arise during install on the existing track bed, the contractor shall notify the Government immediately.

3.2.6. Crossties

For existing ranges being upgraded, the Government will typically remove all existing TMs but will leave cables and brackets in place. If new MIT or MAT track is being provided, the Government will typically remove the existing track but leave all brackets and/or crossties in place. Unless otherwise defined in the DO, any existing brackets, cables, and hardware attached to the emplacement shall be removed and turned into the installation. Any existing bolts in the emplacement that cannot be reused shall be cut level with the emplacement floor or wall. Or, if anchor bolts can be removed without damaging the emplacement further than the hole already made by the bolt, the bolt shall be removed, and the hole left in the emplacement shall be capped. Any variations will be called out in the DO.
