In support of our military and law enforcement clients, AutoTargets is dedicated to bridging the divide between training and real-world encounters. Our ARK kits are engineered for this exact challenge: ultra-portable, versatile, and perfect for scenario-based training in the field.
Whether it’s vehicle-based rapid range deployments, line-of-fire exercises, or live environment SIMs events, AutoTargets ARK packages offer swift deployment and proven reliability, backed by over a decade of successful applications with law enforcement and military units. These systems empower trainers to easily develop, capture, evaluate, and share crucial training data at the touch of a button.

Develop, Capture, Evaluate, Share
No range required
An ARK lift unit stands on bare ground. There is no lane hardware to mount to, no trench to run cable through and no power to bring in — the kit carries its own high-pressure air, its own batteries and its own wireless mesh, so the training environment goes wherever the tailgate stops.
That is what makes vehicle-based rapid range deployments, line-of-fire exercises and live-environment SIMs events practical: the same targets you would install on a permanent range, set out in minutes and packed back into a soft-sided case at the end of the day.

Conductive or kinetic hit detection
Every ARK package is built in one of two hit-detection forms. Conductive packages use the HexLink™ target, whose conductive matrix reads multi-zone hits from live rounds. Kinetic packages sense the impact at the target mount, which suits simulated and non-lethal ammunition as well as live fire.
Either way the shot registers the moment it lands and the target reacts to it, so the drill, the hits and the times are captured for review rather than counted by hand afterwards. The detail on both methods is on Targets & Hit Detection.
One tablet, up to twenty units
ARK kits are driven by AutoTargets for Android™ over the lift units’ own wireless mesh — no range network, no access point, no infrastructure. Targets are placed on a scaled map of the ground you are standing on, given their own hit-to-fall rules, and run as a scenario.
Where a permanent control room already exists, the same units join the RangeControl™ Software Suite instead, and an Advanced RangeControl™ option adds a ruggedized laptop, a mesh-compatible radio, a remote training session and a year of software maintenance.
ARK Packages
Full package sheet (PDF, 2.4 MB) →Packages are built around ARKCORE, a one-lift-unit kit, and ARKPRO, a two-lift-unit kit. Both come in a Conductive (-C) or Kinetic (-K) form, and the two combine into a three-lift-unit package.
| Included | ARKCORE | ARKPRO |
|---|---|---|
| Configuration | ||
| Lift units | 1 | 2 |
| Hit detection | Conductive or Kinetic | Conductive or Kinetic |
| In the case | ||
| Soft-sided carry case | 1 | 2 |
| HPA bottle and regulator | 1 bottle and regulator | 3 bottles and 1 spare regulator |
| Spare battery and charger | 1 spare (2 batteries total) | 1 spare (3 batteries total) |
| Ballistic shield | 1 — standard on Conductive, optional on Kinetic | 2 — standard on Conductive, optional on Kinetic |
The ARKCORE Conductive package also ships with ten HexLink™ targets. HPA fill stations and bottles, E-type targets in cardboard or plastic, and mounting options — mobile stand or shelf-mount kit — are available separately. Configurations and pricing are quoted by an Authorized Partner; confirm the current build sheet with them before ordering.
