MILES Training

The U.S. Army strives to create a training environment that is as close to reality as possible. The Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) is one method used by the U.S. Army. This system incorporates coded lasers to simulate bullets. When the laser strikes a sensor on a Soldier, it will either result in a short “BEEP” sound to report a wound, or a long constant “BEEP” to signify a kill. Additionally MILES grenades are used.
These munitions are non-lethal and can only activate MILES sensors. Training maps in America’s Army are normally played as MILES maps. Therefore no live rounds are fired. For more information about MILES, see US Army Equipment : MILES
