Greentide Target Solutions (GTS) is a proudly Australian, veteran-owned business committed to delivering biodegradable and environmentally responsible target systems. Our innovative targets are purpose-designed to decompose naturally over time—ranging from hours to weeks, depending on their application. This unique design feature minimises environmental impact, particularly in scenarios where target retrieval is impractical or impossible, enabling organisations to maintain and enhance capability while also supporting increased sustainability commitments.
GTS targets offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional options, delivering significant savings in both resources and time through their quick and simple deployment and reduced range clean-up requirements. All targets transport flat packed, are lightweight, highly visible and deployable by hand from vehicle, vessel or helicopter.
GTS Targets are in operational use with the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) with evaluations underway with the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and Japan Self-Defence Forces (JSDF).
