Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies engineering, physics, engineering mathematics, and materials science principles to design, analyse, manufacture and maintain mechanical systems.   Our Mechanical Engineers apply these principles to our existing range of targetry products whilst innovating new products for our customers.  Mechanical engineering tools such as Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), product life cycle management and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) support ATS in the  design and analysis of new concepts.  FEA is a numerical method for solving problems of engineering and mathematical physics. Useful for problems with complicated geometries, loadings, and material properties where analytical solutions cannot be obtained or easily communicated.   FEA

ATS was invited by Army Headquarters to showcase its Live Fire Range in a Box (LFRiB) at Army Innovation Day (AID) 2018 held at ADFA recently. Heralded as an AID success story, the LFRiB is a fully deployable and immersive live fire range fitted with an interactive video target system. The Chief of Army, Lieutenant General Rick Burr, enjoyed the opportunity to engage realistic video scenarios using the new Thales EF88 / F90 EF90 and

Life as a piece of Range Live Fire Targetry equipment can be a dangerous one, but with ATS Target Technicians on hand, even getting shot isn’t the end of the line. A busy training period for the Australian Defence Force has resulted in some spectacular damage to targetry equipment. ATS Target Technicians have been busy reconstructing mechanisms that have been torn apart by mortar rounds that have landed a little too close; diagnosing and undertaking

ATS was pleased to be the major sponsor of the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (SSAA), Action Pistol, National Championships held in Canberra over the weekend. This competition involved competitors from across Australia vying for National Team selection by shooting four different Action Match disciplines — Plates, Mover, Practical and Barricades — across Production, Metallic or Open gun categories. The ATS Sponsored shooters performed brilliantly, with Mark Blake placing first and Cherie Blake placing second

When You Aim for Perfection, You’ll Discover It’s a Moving Target. The ATS catchphrase perfectly sums up the need for a comprehensive, business wide approach to quality.  Quality by its nature requires continual monitoring, measurement, analysis and evaluation to maintain its veracity. To implement and acquire the formal quality accreditation to ISO 9001:2015, ATS has put in place policies and procedures for all functional areas of the business.  These are continually reviewed and revised to
