We have a patented acrylic conductive paint that when applied to any non conductive surface can be plugged into low voltage /batteries and the target will heat up with a controllable thermal signature.

As you would be aware most available targets currently in market rely on passive heat reflection to create thermal definition , using reflective tape and passive target with black and white designs. In Australia still many defence units are using very primitive ideas to emulate heat signatures such as hot coals & electric blankets!

We have an enormous organic interest in our offering in this exclusive area of training with thermal targets. It appears the rise and development of thermal scopes and detection has outrun the testing processes.

There are expensive heated solution ,however, none that can provide a cheap “throw away” concept that is reliable, cost effective and tested and suitable to blow up!

We are also skilled in connection to existing target field systems and our product can be integrated or operate as stand alone. The thermal target can assist tank crews spot enemy pop up shapes on 5-kilometre tank field training exercises.

We are a small and very creative onsite to analyse and find simple solutions that otherwise would involve years of collaboration ,We understand different environments require unique design and have developed solutions to waterproofing with overcoats and encapsulation, multiple fire & solution to repair ,fast heat up rate within 5-10 seconds and cool down.

We have coated our targets with our (USA/World patented ) low voltage acrylic paint and when plugged into battery or low voltage power the target heats up. The core of our patent is a TCR of 0 meaning our carbon /graphite formulation in various resins has a close to 0 change in resistance when electrical current is applied. This unique property ensures the product doesn’t “run away” to combustion under electrical charge.

Our thermal signatures are created by resistance of graphite to electrical current. With the application of our unique paint and varying the power source, we can “copy” or emulate thermal signatures and thereby affect a decoy that is extremely difficult for a guided ordinance to distinguish from a real source.

We can for example create a thermal signature of a truck wheel where the heat at the axil and centre of the tyre has different temperatures to the body of the tyre. We adjust paint thickness to effect differential conduction and therefore differing temperatures. This unique capability is only available by using a coating, wire technology cannot match cost effectiveness, or the discreetness of our targets.

We have successfully created thermal targets for defence testing of missiles where the unique heat signature is required to decoy the ordinance.

The shape, size and dimension of the targets can be determined by your team, and we will construct and send to you anywhere in the world.

As seen at the recent Land Forces Expo in Brisbane (October 2022) we have successfully created large vehicle signatures, small scope targets and man-size targets – we can do any size or shape required.

We can create whole thermal bivouacs with simple plywood using custom heat signatures. For example: thermal signatures of generators, BBQs, personnel, gas burners and more.

We match the thermal signature of objects with our HeatPaint to create decoy images. We can also create vehicle heat signatures that can present as accurate thermal targets.
