FM 3-22.1Figure 4-1. Thru-sight video.b. Multiple-Integrated Laser Engagement System. MILES (Figure 4-2) is anintegrated family of low-power, eye-safe, laser-based devices. It simulates thecasualty-producing effects of direct-fire weapons using semiconductor laser beams.When fired, MILES sends an invisible laser beam from a transmitter attached to the25-mm gun and to the TOW launcher. The laser beam transmits coded messages (basedon the weapon and ammunition selected) to the detector belt sensors on otherMILES-equipped vehicles. The MILES for the M2 or M3 fighting vehicle enables thecrew to use the vehicle in realistic combat training exercises (force-on-force). MILES isunsuitable for training moving target engagements, because the gunner cannot apply leador induce range to engage the target. Also, trainers cannot use MILES to train BOT andTOT, because the crew cannot see hit signatures or tracers (TM 9-1265-375-10).(1) System components include—• Control console.• Superelevation training box (M2A2 ODS).• Battery box.• Flash weapons-effects systems simulator.• TOW transmitter.• Antitank, weapon-effects-signature simulator.• TOW simulator tube. • Main gun or coax transmitter.• Detector belt system. • Coax machine gun microphone.• Combat vehicle kill indicator. • Blank firing attachment, 7.62 mm.• TOW training box (except A3).4-4
