Elite 6 Mobility Winner: Tracking friend or foe in the palm of your hand

The Target Handoff System Version 2

is a portable system designed for use by dismounted Marines to locate targets, pinpoint global positioning coordinates and call for close air, artillery and naval fire support using secure digital communications. The system is an upgrade to the Corps’ current, larger, heavier Target Handoff System, and comprises a laser range finder, video down link receiver and a combat net radio. With the new version, Marines will obtain a lightweight device equipped to provide immediate situational awareness on where friendly and enemy locations are, and the ability to hand off target data to fire support to get quick effects on the battlefield.
