ORLANDO — For more than four decades, the Army, other militaries and law enforcement agencies around the world have used a laser-based system to train personnel using small arms in force-on-force exercises.
With lasers attached to guns, a trainee fires at an opponent — or perhaps a vehicle — outfitted with a series of sensors. If he or she scores a hit, the victim is alerted and could be declared injured or dead.
It is a high-end, more sophisticated version of laser tag.
But now, the Army is looking to replace the Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System, better known as MILES.
