Context
CETIA are French Army fire course centers for Infantry and Armoured regiments.
Located In South of France, Canjuers’ CETIA is the largest military training camp in Western Europe. It is equipped with a 20km fire course for training on offensive, defensive, in-vehicle and landed actions (missiles, artillery, helicopters, tanks, MRLS…).
Alongside each shooting area is located a control tower, from where are supervised every course of fire, by day and at night.
Supervision requires observation and monitoring of any activities before, meanwhile and after shootings. Indeed, supervisors not only have to look at trainees position while they are shooting, or to analyze shooting results, but they also have to be sure shooting area are clear, before authorizing trainees to proceed.
Therefore, control towers had to be equipped with a system allowing day and night observation and the recording of activities in any portion of a shooting area.
