3.3.3. Lifter Shields (LS)

LS are not part of the Government designed TDP and may be required as part of the DO. Shields are intended to protect stationary lifters when used in a portable situation. Infantry LSs (ILS) shall be available to protect SITs. Armor LSs (ALS) shall be available to protect the SATs. The LS shall be designed to be free standing. The ILS and ALS shall be made from ballistic grade materials sufficient to withstand all rounds up to 7.62-milimeter (mm) Enhanced Performance Round (EPR) shot at distances ranging from 25 meters and beyond, and .50 cal ball ammunition (M2 Heavy Barrel Machine Gun) shot at a minimum distance of 0.25 miles.

The LS shall be constructed such that front face or plate facing the shooter is angled. The front face plate angle shall dissipate energy and prevent ricochets, rounds, and splatter from bouncing back in the direction of the shooter. No special tools shall be required for assembly of the LS. The LS shall have lift eyes and/or handles. The handles/ lift eyes shall be protected from damage due to normal firing. The LS shall protect the target mechanism and associated equipment from rounds shot from 20 degrees or less to either side. The LS shall protect the target mechanism from rounds shot from a minimum of 15 degrees above. Material shall withstand 500 rounds of 7.62-mm EPR and 1000 rounds of 5.56-mm EPR shot into a three-inch square area with no evidence of penetration such that a subsequent round would result in failure of shield function.

3.3.4. Known Distance (KD) Lifters

KD lifters shall raise and lower 72-inch by 72-inch framed targets IAW training requirements stated in TC 3-22.9. KD lifters shall be anchored to the emplacement. The anchoring method shall withstand constant winds up to and including 35 miles per hour.

3.3.4.1. KD Lifting Capabilities

All target lifting features shall be fully protected by the emplacement. The KD lifter shall fully expose and fully conceal a 72-inch by 72-inch target above and behind, respectively the emplacement wall. If a roller chain and sprocket solution is utilized, bearings shall be lifetime lubricated or greaseless, and roller chains and sprockets shall require lubrication no less than every 1,000 lifts. Chains shall meet ANSI B 29.1M requirements. Chains shall be repaired by replacing individual links. The total lift weight of the KD lifter components and target to be raised shall be no more than 40 pounds to the operator. The target shall lock into position at the target mounting position, the fully exposed position, and the fully concealed. The lifter shall require the operator to manually release the locking method to move to the desired position. The locking setup shall be releasable by one hand in less than 1 second.

3.3.4.2. KD Platform

KD platforms shall be free standing and moveable. Platforms shall be a minimum of 20-inch L by 20-inch W. The design working load of the movable platform shall be calculated based on one or more 200-pound persons with 50-pounds of equipment each. The moveable platform shall be constructed to carry a working load of 75 pounds per square foot. The platform shall be slip resistant.

3.3.5. Iron Maiden Targets

Iron Maiden targets are not part of the Government designed TDP. Iron Maiden targets shall consist of three pieces: the IMKZT, the base, and the Iron Maiden Silhouette (IMS). The material(s) used for the IMS and IMKZT shall not present ricochet hazards to the shooters when fired upon at distances between 100m and 1,000m (.50 Cal will be fired upon at a minimum of 400m). The following subparagraphs and Appendix D detail the requirements.

3.3.5.1. Target Base

The Iron Maiden base shall hold the IMS and the IMKZT at their established positions described in paragraphs 3.3.5.2 and 3.3.5.3. All stabilization components shall be provided with the base. Stabilization methods of anchoring into the ground shall not be used. All components of the target base shall fit behind and be fully protected by the IMS. The target base shall include carrying handles for portability purposes. The target base shall be considered part of the IMKZT.

3.3.5.2. Iron Maiden Silhouette (IMS)

IMSs shall have an E-type target shape and shall be dimensioned according to the parameters outlined in Appendix D with +/- 0.25-inch tolerance. The IMS shall be made from through hardened 3/8-inch, AR500 steel. The Kill Zone area shall be cut out of the target to the dimensions of Appendix D with +/- 0.125-inch tolerance. The Kill Zone area shall provide an open space for rounds to pass through to the IMKZT. IMSs shall withstand 500 rounds of 7.62-milimeter and 1000 rounds of 5.56-milimeter shot into a three-inch square area with no evidence of penetration such that a subsequent round would result in failure of shield function. The IMS shall be angled forward 80 degrees to 85 degrees from horizontal. When angled, the IMS and the Kill Zone cut-out area dimensions shall be sized to present to the shooter a target with the dimensions shown in Appendix D. Four carrying handles shall be attached to the silhouette. Two handles shall be at the base and two shall be at the shoulder, on each side of the IMS. The method of attaching the handles to the IMS shall not alter the ballistic properties of the IMS.

3.3.5.3. Iron Maiden Kill Zone Target

IMKZTs shall be made from through hardened, 3/8-inch, AR500 steel. IMKZTs shall be positioned behind the kill zone area of the silhouette. IMKZTs dimensions shall be at least two-inch larger than the kill zone area dimensions of the IMS. IMKZTs shall provide a visual queue to the shooter and spotter when it receives a hit. The visual feedback shall be more than a round impact disrupting a painted surface.
