Avon Park Air Force Range lacks moving targets for helicopter door gunnery training and proposes to build and operate two remoted target systems on Oscar Range. One is a cart and rail system that moves a silhouette of a vehicle, while the other is a series of pop-up targets that simulate infantry targets. The targets are designed to accommodate door gunnery primarily, ground-to-ground machine gun training secondarily.
