VirTra Systems Announces Simulator Sale to US Air Force

VirTra Systems, Inc. yesterday announced its initial sale of an IVR-300™ HD situational awareness and judgmental use-of-force training simulator to the United States Air Force. The simulator will be employed to train a highly-specialised unit's on-going situational awareness, judgmental use-of-force, and marksmanship training programs. In addition to the simulator, a significant order of VirTra Systems' specially-modified full recoil training weaponry was included.

"This sale is but the first resulting from our unveiling of the IVR-300 HD last month at Trexpo," said Michael Kitchen, VirTra Systems' vice-president of training and simulation sales. "After the USAF technology/user team was given a complete demonstration, the team remarked that it was ‘the most technologically-advanced system they had ever seen, and it delivered intensely realistic and demanding scenarios.'"

"Our IVR HD series was reportedly chosen over systems from FATS and IES, due to its patent-pending, 360-degree, high-definition resolution technology, as well as its superior weapons tracking capabilities. This is a huge endorsement by the US military for utilisation of our IVR HD series simulators. We are already working towards finalisation of plans to install additional training systems at further Air Force locations."

"This is the largest, most sophisticated, and technologically superior military-based system we have manufactured to-date. Many highly realistic, military-specified recoil weapons will be used, along with custom military scenarios and simulated missions, to train USAF personnel to a new level of preparedness. A comprehensive marksmanship/qualification course tracking multiple trainees was also designed for the system," said Mr Kitchen. The initial Air Force simulator is scheduled for delivery next month.
