Security Forces is transitioning to a new Weapons Qualifications Course that will significantly increase the number of iterations that Defenders conduct at the firing range. Going forward, all personnel will receive firearms training on a monthly/quarterly basis (as opposed to annually) at outdoor ranges with distances of 25 - 400 meters. Bullseye Targets Systems LLC has developed the Bullseye Target Rover (BTR), the worlds first outdoor robotic target retrieval system. The BTR is a reliable and easy-to-operate system designed to send and retrieve a target anywhere the shooter wants from 0 - 400 meters on an outdoor range. This will save the Air Force hundreds of man-hours and millions of dollars per range per year, which will allow for more effective and cost-efficient training. The Bullseye Target Rover advantage can be measured in four ways: added safety, increased training throughput, increased proficiency and cost-effectiveness.
