Laser Safety
Do not look at the LASER emitter at close range (less than 10 meters). Increasing the distance between the eye and the LASER reduces the risk of injury.Do not look directly at the LASER beam or the LASER emitter through optics such as binoculars, telescopes, or periscopes at ranges of less than 75 meters.

Purpose Of Equipment
Simulates the effects of direct fire weapons as they would affect the vehicle and
crew.
LASER Transmitters fire LASER beams to simulate firing live ammunition.
Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) determines result of incoming fire on the vehicle.
The MILES XXI equipped weapons have the same range, effect, and operational
capabilities as real vehicle weapons.

32
MGSSThe MGSS is used on the Abrams
vehicles, to simulate the firing of the main gun during force-on-force training exercises.
The Firing Unit (FU) can hold up to 30 pyrotechnic cartridges, simulating the flash, smoke and bang created when the main gun is fired.
Immediately following the flash and bang is an outpouring of white smoke. This provides a realistic enactment of the actual main gun firing effects.
During MGSS operation, maintenance, or when personnel are in close proximity, extreme caution should be used. Personal safe distance is five meters.

CD UsageCD is used by Observer/Controllers (OCs).CD is used to alter, monitor, or control a given training exercise. CD operates in four primary modes:– LASER IR Transmission Mode (0-500 meter range)– LASER IR Detection Mode (0-20 meter range)– RF Mode (must acquire domain) – Direct Link (RS-232 cable)
NOTE
The CD can be used to “Kill” and “Resurrect” all current MILES systems. The full capabilities of the CD are used solely to interact and configure MILES XXI systems.
