Marvin Test Solutions releases two MTS-916 simulator variants
Marvin Test Solutions has released two new variants of its MTS-916 modular target simulators line: MTS-916-6 and MTS-916-7. The release was announced on 22 April.
The MTS-916 is a target simulator for optical, infrared and laser guided weapons, and it replaces multiple obsolete target simulators for AGM-65 Maverick and AGM-114 Hellfire missile guidance sections, along with MAU-169 Paveway target seeker kits.
The new MTS-916-6 is designed to test AGM-65E / E2 / L Laser Maverick seeker heads as well as AGM-114B / K / M / N / R Hellfire missiles using the same I-level equipment.
The MTS-916-7 is designed to test laser-guided MAU-169 Paveway munitions.
Major General Steve Sargeant, CEO, Marvin Test Solutions, said: 'We have a long and successful history designing and developing innovative military systems to make test easy. We previously used this experience to create the MTS-916 family of products to meet the critical need for an accurate and reliable target simulator that can reliably test the new generation of optically guided and infrared guided weapons as well as seamlessly integrate with legacy maintenance and sustainment systems.
'The latest versions of the MTS-916 family follow through on our mission to introduce greater commonality and ease of use into armament test by providing maintainers with a common test solution for the popular AGM-65 and AGM-114 weapons systems, considerably simplifying logistics and sustainment costs for operators.'
