Weapon Simulation Roundless Tactical Engagement Systems - RTES

What does the next generation, Future Generation and Generation-After-Next of Military & Law Enforcement Tactical Engagement Collective Training look like? 

It looks like the final demise of Blank & Paint firing munitions in small arms.

How will Roundless Tactical Engagement Systems shape the Future of Collective Training? 

When military and law enforcement professionals use man-on-man tactical engagement systems (TES), as opposed to firing blank or paint rounds, training becomes much more focused. Military & Law Enforcement users do not take as many risks when approaching their objectives.  Laser energy being fired at the multi Omni-directional sensor cache vest can be detected at ranges beyond 350M. Your only friend in this game is the ‘God Gun’ when your cache vest lights up and you are audibly alerted to have been fatally wounded. As much as paint rounds can have a ‘pain’ penalty, paint rounds will tumble and lose kinetic energy after 30m’s. Sensor-enabled PPE will evolve to include that pain penalty in the form of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) that can be dialed up to have the desired stimuli effect.

VirTra Roundless Tetherless drop-in recoil kits, with intelligently programmable CO2 charged magazines, delivers weapon recoil effect like no other. There is no weapon cleaning or ejected munitions casings to pick up, on completion of the training event. This enables a greater degree of flexibility in using alternative ‘clean’ training venues as no ejected casings or gunpowder residue will be evident

Get in touch if you would discover how some of these innovative technologies are being adapted today for planning real missions to enhance operational effectiveness.

What does untethered Virtual Reality Head Mounted Displays enable military and law enforcement professionals to currently undertake?

Professionals use this untethered technology to significantly reduce training risks, visualise locations, areas & places of interest. This untethered VR equipment can be used to help plan for future missions, view entry and exit points, visualise fields of view at certain heights or to get a feel for the scale of the objective. It can also be used extensively for mission planning & mission rehearsal – MPMR. Imagine having the ability to be immersed in Virtual Reality on completion of briefings or having a quick immersive review in the back of a helicopter on route to the objective?

How does Augmented Reality solutions currently integrate with personal protective equipment?

With flexible and transparent OLED displays full situational awareness & augmented reality heads up displays could be projected onto issued personnel protective eye equipment. 

VirTra roundless & tetherless drop-in recoil kits

VirTra roundless tetherless drop-in recoil kit with CO2 charged intelligently programmable magazine installed in M4 variant.

Magazines can be pre-programmed to become a stoppage, to force an immediate action to either change magazines or go to a secondary weapon system. By default, they are programmed to hold open the working parts after a full magazine of 30 rounds have been discharged. This is environmentally friendly greener training.

Recoil kits are available for rifle (M4/AK47/MCX/SA80), machine gun (M60/M249), pistol, shotgun and Tazer. No blanks. No Paint. No brass. No Mess.
