The Vehicle Hit Indicator (VHI) is mounted on the vehicle (or targets like buildings, bunkers, etc.) and provides for both:

• a target for threats from coded laser beams shot from the projectors, and RF signals from LMESS mine simulators, and

• an indication device (strobe light and sound signature siren) for the hits received by the vehicles

During combat exercises, the weapons are fitted with Transmitters (Projectors) which are activated to fire coded laser beams which are recorded by the VHI and RLDMs fitted to the target with the help of mounting brackets provided. The VHI has four quadrants of laser detectors to receive the coded laser beams. Also, the VHI and the RLDMs have radio antennas to receive RF signals from the ‘detonated’ LMESS mine simulators and communicate amongst themselves. The CVTESS VHI is fitted with an optional GPS allowing for the recording of location data during the exercises (such as where the event occurs).
