The Tank Gunnery Target System is a microprocessor controlled unit to support various Army and Marine Corps gunfire training ranges. The Offensive Range Controller (ORC) commands the Target Control Assembly (TCA), which is mounted directly on a hydraulic or electrically operated Target Holding Mechanism (THM), via UHF datalink. The ORC is the master control station for up to 250 TCAs, which in turn are capable of addressing up to 8,192 individual live fire targets. The TCA detects, when a target is hit, either ballistic or laser. When the target has been hit and/or "killed", appropriate pyrotechnic devices are activated and the target is lowered or raised to enhance mission realism. During mission execution, telemetry data sent to the ORC provides target status and mission feedback. In the post mission phase, all stored events and mission results can be printed out via external printer, providing the necessary feedback to enhance the training effectiveness.

The Tank Gunnery Target System is currently in use at the U.S. Army National Training Center, Fort Irwin, California, and the U.S. Marine Corps range at Twenty-nine Palms, California.
