Australian Target Systems (ATS) has been awarded an AUD33 million (US$21.5 million) contract to provide live-fire target systems and target support capabilities at defence training ranges across Australia. The company will provide live-fire land target systems for defence personnel to use on overseas deployments.
The five-year contract will continue the company’s support for the Australian Defence Force which extends back over decades.
