Advanced Simulation Systems for
Force-on-Force Training

ZTS Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (Z-MILES) capabilities are unsurpassed.

Z-MILES soldier, vehicle & auxiliary systems meet/exceed all Army requirements
Z-MILES has also been tailored to support training in urban environments as well as battlefield casualty assessment and treatment
Our system design enables continuous technology refresh and maximum interoperability

ZTS is actively involved in fostering synergies among live, virtual, constructive and gaming capabilities. Our strategic relationship and Joint Venture with the J&F Alliance Group, a leading edge provider of customized augmented, virtual, and mixed reality applications for military training and mission rehearsal, greatly increases our abilities to contribute to the Army Synthetic Training Environment (STE).

Fixed and Mobile Training Range
Instrumentation and Control

Our state-of-the-art instrumentation suites meet all US ground force training requirements.

Tailorable configurations can support up to 3000 players and associated vehicles
Components includes a C2 center, antenna nodes, player unit radios, exercise control, and after- action reporting and analysis software
The Agility Military Radio we offer is software programmable; exceptional frequency coverage, tunable bandwidth, and load balancing; advanced encryption capability

Battlefield Effects Simulators

We are fielding the next generation visual, audio and tactically accurate battlefield effects system for Army live training.

Live Fire Training Range Upgrades

The Army’s aging target inventory is difficult and expensive to maintain, has limited interoperability, and lacks the performance capabilities needed to meet current Soldier proficiency needs. In addition, few procurement dollars are available to buy new targets.

ZTS re-engineers existing targets, providing state-of-the art capabilities quickly and very cost effectively, ensuring maximum availability and effectiveness of live fire ranges

We deliver new networking solutions for inadequately integrated ranges
We refurbish targets from multiple OEMs, delivering enhanced capabilities, new levels of standardization and interoperability, and increased sustainment efficiencies
Upgraded stationary and mobile infantry and armor targets can:
- Utilize the latest communications protocols and range control software
- Interoperate seamlessly with all other targets on training ranges
- Use AC or DC power and be operated via TCP/IP, hard wire or RF control

Exceptional Subject Matter Expertise and Engineering Talent

ZTS is uniquely positioned to help the US military understand future ground training and mission rehearsal options and the optimal paths that lie forward.

The ZTS team has developed, produced and delivered over 100,000 training devices in the past two decades
Our advanced technical solutions, open systems designs and adaptive business models foster enhanced standardization, interoperability and continuous modernization, and provide the most efficient and cost way forward for ground combat training.
