ARRADCOM developed and provided to the Combat Developments Experimentation Command, for the TISE (Tank versus Infantry in a Smoke Environment) tactical experiment, a device that simulated the effects of launching a LAW antitank missile, but was safe to fire in the direction of a troop occupied area. It was based on the concept of launch signature simulators (LSS) previously developed for TOW, Dragon and Shillelagh missiles. Most components for the nonpropulsive firing units were cannibalized from available M73 practice rockets. The firing units were used in conjunction with modified M190 launchers. A highly realistic simulation of flash, flame, smoke, blast, and sound effects of the LAW missile firing was achieved. This concept could be used to develop inexpensive, one-shot, throwaway, type-classified, shelf items for operational exercises, training, decoys, or other applications requiring highly realistic simulation of missile firings without downrange hazards.
