/ THE PROBLEM
Governments spend billions on thermal optics annually, yet train their most elite forces on targets that fail to produce realistic thermal signatures.
SISU/ARMS engineered a proprietary Thermal Imaging Target System to generate a persistent, combat-representative signature that reflects what operators see through thermal optics in real kinetic environments — across any weather, day or night, and extended training cycles.
Designed for durability and repeatable use, it lets operators train, validate, and master thermal systems against real heat signatures — not artificial stand-ins.

STRIKE · LOAD · SEAL · ENGAGE
01
STRIKE
Ignite the charging flare. 15–30 minutes of charge depending on geometry.
02
LOAD
Insert the flare into the tube behind the steel strikeface.
03
SEAL
Close the slide gate. Non-toxic thermal material holds the heat.
04
ENGAGE
A persistent, realistic thermal signature for hours. Reset in seconds.
