It moves
Pop-up, friend-foe, swing and hostage motion modes. Timed, random or auto sequences that never let a shooter settle into a rhythm.
It knows it was hit
A hit sensor and indicator light drive hit-react mode: the target drops, resets or cycles the moment it takes a round. Instant feedback, no spotting.
It goes where you train
29 to 53 lb, internal battery, run standalone off the onboard interface or by R1 remote. Indoor bays, outdoor berms, shoot houses.
Two platforms.
Four configurations.
Pop-up
Timed or random exposure. Rapid acquisition on a target that is only up for as long as you allow.
Friend-foe
Shoot / no-shoot presentation. Positive identification before the trigger break, every repetition.
Swing
Lateral movement across the lane. Tracking, lead and follow-through on a target that will not hold still.
Hostage
Threat and non-threat on the same stand. Precision under the worst consequence a range can simulate.
Each motion mode runs under three intelligent modes from the target's own control interface: auto, random, and hit react. No app, no network, no range control room required.
How agencies run it →No air lines.
No rails.
No construction.
Pneumatic and rail-guided target systems mean compressors, trenching, and a facility built around them. Robotarget is a self-contained machine with an internal battery. Set it on the ground, drop a target on the pole, and run a course of fire.
Operational in minutes
Out of the vehicle to first shot without tools or a range technician.
Runs all day on internal power
4.5 to 16 hours on manufacturer-installed batteries at 72°F.
Priced per unit, not per facility
Add one machine at a time. Scale a lane, a bay, or a shoot house as budget allows.

Put one on your range
Private live-fire demos, range integration planning, agency quotes and dealer terms. Tell us how you train and we will tell you which configuration fits.
Pick the machine for the range you have
Every Robotarget shares the same core: brushless drive, internal battery, hit sensor with indicator light, standalone operation, and R1 remote compatibility. The difference is lifting capacity, runtime, and whether the machine needs to drive anything else on the range.
Robotarget model matrix
* Using targets exceeding max lifting capacity will cause malfunction, component damage, reduced machine life span, and increased risk of injury.
** Running time is based on fully charged, manufacturer-installed batteries at 72°F.
*** The accuracy of hit detection may be reduced if not using factory recommended target backing pad and target pole.
**** Power out outlet is 24V, max current 3A.
***** I/O port is for connection of electronic precision target, robot target mover, etc.
R1 Remote
Runs any Robotarget from the firing line. Every machine also operates standalone from its own control interface, so a dead remote never ends a training day.

C1 Field Cart
Wheels the machine, target stand and bullet shield downrange as one unit. Reposition a stage between strings instead of carrying hardware across a hot range.
Buy C1 →Everything else on the stand
Start with a full set
The quick set-up sets bundle the machine with the stand, pole, backing pad and fasteners you need to run a drill the day it arrives. Nothing to source separately.
Ground mount starter set
Stand, pole and consumables for a ground-deployed T1 or T2.
View set →Field cart starter set
Cart-mounted configuration for moving stages between strings.
View set →Not sure which model?
Tell us your target weight, distances and how many lanes you need to run. We will spec it.
Paper does not decide whether to shoot
A static silhouette measures marksmanship. It cannot measure whether an officer identified a threat before the trigger broke, or whether a shooter can track a target that moves. Robotarget puts the decision back in the drill.

Three ways to run any motion mode
Set from the target's own control interface. No app, no network, no range control room.
Auto
A fixed, repeatable cycle. The interval you set, held exactly, every repetition. This is the mode for qualification courses and measuring a shooter against the same standard twice.
Random
Unpredictable exposure timing. Removes the count a shooter starts keeping after the third repetition and forces genuine reaction instead of anticipation.
Hit react
The target responds to the round. Hit sensor and indicator confirm the shot and drive the next action. The target goes down because it was hit, not because a timer expired.
Who runs it, and how
{{ d.head }}
{{ d.body }}
From vehicle to first shot
Set the machine
Ground mount or field cart. One person, no tools.
Mount the target
Pole, backing pad, paper target. Factory pad and pole keep hit detection accurate.
Choose the drill
Motion mode plus intelligent mode, from the onboard interface or the R1.
Run the string
Reset from the line. No walking downrange between repetitions.
Run it on your own range
We bring machines to your facility and run your drills, with your shooters, before you buy anything.

Shot on the range
Fleet & moving target
0:32Three field-cart units lined up with arms raised, a moving target taking hits with the dust kick, and the hostage no-shoot presentation. The clearest look at what a multi-machine range setup does.
Product & training
0:33Hostage no-shoot presentation in the field, mast and arm assembly close-up, then a two-person live-fire string: one on the handheld controller, one on pistol.
On the range
0:30Carbine work at distance, a trail engagement against two pop-ups downrange, and a shooter moving through brush. A training day as it actually runs.

What we are writing
Our Story
Train Smart, Shoot Robotarget.
Based in Southern California, Robotarget focuses on enhancing tactical training for civilians and professionals. We value ease of use, reliability, addressing customer needs, firearm fluency, and most importantly, your right to defend yourself.
The idea for Robotarget started when we wanted to improve our own firearm fluency. Being fluent with your firearm isn’t just about hitting the bullseye from a distance; how well you can track a moving target, your reaction speed, your ability to make quick decisions are all part of the equation. We found most shooters only shoot stationary targets, which get old fast and do not properly emulate scenarios in which one actually would use a firearm.
We’ve searched for smarter electronic targets on the market, but found them to be too costly, too simple in features, and too difficult to setup and use.
At Robotarget, we seek to enhance and transform your tactical training experience through innovative technologies, so you can be better prepared when you need your firearm.

Up to 10-year limited warranty
“Service hours” refers to the cumulative time during which the product is actively operating. The method of determining service hours may be based on internal system records, if available, or reasonable estimation where such records are not accessible. Paint finish will scratch and chip under normal use and therefore carries no warranty.
