The detectors are sensitive to the source of fire. When the laser bear hits a detector, the laser detector records a kill or near miss. The MILES fires coded laser beams at laser detectors attached to soldiers or MILES requires the sound of a blank cartridge to discharge a laser transmitter that sends simulated laser "bullet" to kill or wound opposing forces (OPForces) during training exercises. Additionally, Basic MILES simulations address anti-armor weapons, machine guns, rifles, and other ancillary items, such as a controller gun, within the program. These weapons systems include the M1 Abrams Tank, Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle, M113 Armored Personnel Carrier, wheeled vehicles and other non-shooting targets. Soldiers use MILES devices primarily during force-on-force exercises, from squad through brigade level, to simulate the firing and effects of actual weapons systems. MILES training has been proven to dramatically increase the combat readiness and fighting effectiveness of military forces. Laser transmitters are attached to each individual and vehicle weapon system and accurately replicate actual ranges and lethality of the specific weapon systems. Each individual and vehicle in the training exercise has a detection system to sense hits and perform casualty assessment. MILES provides tactical engagement simulation for direct fire force-on-force training using eye safe laser "bullets". The Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES) is a training system that provides a realistic battlefield environment for soldiers involved in training exercises.
