The TMT complex consists of a highly mobile armored platform acting as a target carrier and controlled by GPS, and a hit detection system. Various targets are mounted on the armored chassis, simulating both infantry and armored vehicles. The platform can be used in a group or individually.

Traditional learning systems are limited to fixed or linearly moving targets at a constant speed, which are represented as 2D images.
The new targets go beyond these limitations thanks to a 360-degree view, variable movement speed and realistic behavior, which significantly increases the effectiveness of training.
The U.S. Army and National Guard training centers will begin receiving the new TMT complex in the summer of 2025.
