A single, seven-foot lane culminates with a camera bay adjacent to a target field containing ARRI 1000 tungsten lights for high-speed videography. Two HG 100K color cameras are available providing high-speed video capabilities of up to 100,000 frames per second per camera. An additional Kodak 4540 camera is available with up to 40,000 frames per second capabilities. A total of 144 channels of A-to-D data collection are available in the range using the TDAS-Pro system (DTS Inc).

Firing can occur through one of three mechanisms: a universal receiver (H.S. Precision, Inc.), air cannon or firearm. A computerized control system operates the universal receiver, which can fire 9 mm, .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and 12 gauge ammunitions. The current air cannon system can fire 37 mm sub-munitions through the use of compressed gases. Both 37 and 40 mm launchers, a 12 gauge Remington 870, and a 12 gauge Benneli Nova are available as well.
