An electrically operated military target capable of emitting an infrared signal when an electric current passes therethrough comprises a multiplicty of independent modules, each module corresponding to a thermal cue of a military threat asset. Each module is a unitary, composite, flexible laminate capable of conducting an electric current. Each module is provided with redundant circuitry for connection to a power source. The laminate is covered by a flexible, thermal insulating pad containing a multiplicity of discrete air-containing cells through which the infrared signal can pass. The target is useful for live fire training with thermal sights.

An electrically operated military target module capable of emitting an infrared signal when an electric current from an electrical power source having two poles is passed therethrough comprising a unitary, composite laminate including: (A) electrically insulating top and bottom layers, each layer having inner and outer surfaces; (B) a substantially continuous, electrically conductive layer of substantially uniform thickness between said inner surfaces, wherein said electrically conductive layer is comprised of carbon; (C) at least two substantially parallel metallic busbars in contact with said electrically conductive layer, each of said busbars having two ends; (D) a first electrical connector means for connecting both ends of one of said busbars to one pole of an electrical power source; (E) a second electrical connector means for connecting both ends of another of said busbars to the other pole of the electrical power source; wherein said top layer and said bottom layer have edges, which are sealed together to thereby form an enclosed laminate containing the electrically conductive layer; and said outer surface of said top layer is covered by a thermal insulating pad containing a multiplicity of discrete air-containing cells through which said infrared signal can pass.
