The Simulated Munitions for Infrared Target Engagement system is Operation: Silent Fury's own proprietary laser tag rig, and is one of the many options which can be used for the exercise. It is inspired by the MilesTag protocol, but is redesigned from the ground up in order to incorporate features that better suit the needs of Operation: Silent Fury.

FEATURES

• Infrared Tagging (The gun shoots an IR pulse and sensors attached to the gun can receive hits)
  
• Sound Effects (The gun will make sounds when it shoots, is hit, or the player is "killed")
  
• Simulated Muzzle Flash (A white LED in the barrel will flash in time with the IR pulse)
  
• Simulated Recoil (The gun will vibrate when the trigger is held)
  
• Variable Weapon Types (The gun can be configured to function as either a carbine, a light support weapon or a designated marksman rifle)
  
• Score Tracking (The gun will track the number of kills and deaths its user amounts, as well as penalties such as 'friendly fire')
  
• Data Tracking (The gun will track the amount of health and ammo its user has remaining and will store these settings until reset by a keyed master switch)
  
• Resupply (A set of specialized "black boxes" will allow players to replenish their health and ammunition levels)
  
• Water-Resistant Casing (The core electronics are sealed in watertight compartments to protect the gun if it is accidentally submerged)
  
• 360-Degree Hit Coverage (The gun can sense hits from any direction via the head-mounted sensor "Halo" and flash lights and play an audible alert noise accordingly to signal its user's death)
  
• Default Power-Saving Mode (The gun runs in passive mode to conserve batteries until the trigger is pressed or a hit is detected)
  
• Multiple-Team Support (The gun can separate users into different teams but 'friendly fire' applies and the user can shoot and "kill" anybody)
  
• Self-Hit Prevention (The gun recognizes its own shots so the player cannot be accidentidentally "killed" by IR bounce)
  
• Full Duplex Capability (The gun can register hits while shooting)
  
• PC Sync Capability (The gun can upload its data to a PC for viewing and analysis)
