The tracking board (Figure 7-2, page 7-5) gives the Bradleycommander and gunner practice in traversing and elevating the sight reticles as if theywere tracking a vehicle moving cross-country. Tracking board exercises are practicedwith the primary sight, the auxiliary sight, and the TOW reticle, both day and night. Anadvanced tracking board (Figure 7-4, page 7-7) is provided to make training morechallenging to crews. (Chapter 7 provides more detailed information on the use of thetracking board.)b. Laser-Target Interface Device. The LTID (Figure 4-11) aids in gunnery trainingwith MILES or PGS. The LTID receives a coded MILES message and converts it intoelectrical pulses. These pulses activate the shock generator mechanism that activates a hitsensor, simulating a projectile striking the target. LTIDs can be used on full-scale,half-scale, or one-tenth-scale (on M31A1 lifters). Targets with LTIDs enhance trainingon BT I, BT II, BT III, and BT IV as well as on the device-based BT XI(TM 9-1265-376-10). System components include detection and electronic assembliesand a shock-generator mechanism.Figure 4-11. Laser target interface device.4-12
