The Steel Alive system was designed to support training of every type. The system operates at ranges from 0 yards (polymer ricochet-free targets) up to 100 yards. One focus of our R&D team was to maintain our CQB universe offering training for beginners as well as experienced shooters. Users can confront their skills in games and training modes as well as in combat-based scenarios. The results are posted in international leaderboards, alongside the special forces’ personnel benchmarks. Plenty of statistics allow instructors or individuals to improve their teams’ marksmanship and practical skills.
Steel Alive is a solution for every kind of steel target regardless the origin or type. Smart Target Devices were designed to serve most of steel targets ranging from 3” to 15” radius. Your training environment is fully compatible with Steel Alive even if you are not aware of that right now!
Eliminating multiple “moving” targets or dealing with situations involving hostages is common for special operators. The Multitarget environment introduces pressure and uncertainty to your basic training regimen. Drills available in Steel Alive will instantly put your skills to the test. Multicolor day/night LED units are easy detachable, ricochet resistant, with seven selectable colors. Infrared versions for NVG shooting to follow!

This has some really cool future uses. If IDPA or USPSA eventually adopt something like this it will make scoring faster and easier. Also the idea of networking targets together is really neat. I wonder if it could be possible for a contraption to be built that activates one target after another has been hit so we can stop using ropes and pulleys in competitions that have a variable failure rate (depending on who set them up). Sounds very interesting.
