VirTra Systems Announces Expanded U.S. Military Contract

VirTra Systems, Inc. yesterday announced an expanded contract with the United States military for the company's IVR-300 advanced training simulators. The United States military customer, whose initial purchase was announced on 17 May, recently notified VirTra Systems of its intent to expand its purchase to include two customized IVR-300 HD high-resolution firearms training simulators, with training weapons and specialised scenarios, totaling nearly $1,000,000. The initial simulator is now in production, scheduled for near-term delivery. "We are enthused with our developing relationship with the United States military," said Michael Kitchen, VirTra Systems' vice-president of training and simulation. "This sale, less than four months after the IVR HD's public debut, serves to further solidify our status as the leader in this emerging industry, and hints at even larger orders in the future. Given the confidential nature of this customer's use of the simulators, it has required non-disclosure of the contract's details. However, we can conclude that these systems will be utilised to offer our military personnel the most advanced firearms training currently obtainable for its global war on terrorism," Mr Kitchen said.

"We are proud of our increasing role with the U. S. military and its increasing training requirements," said L. Kelly Jones, VirTra Systems' chief executive officer. "As we continue to deliver IVR HD systems to the marketplace, we anticipate increasing momentum as our simulators' unique characteristics are utilized by those entrusted with our safekeeping." VirTra Systems' training simulators utilise photorealistic 360-degree training scenarios to realistically create the various encounters that military, law enforcement, and security personnel experience daily. The simulators' weapons carefully reproduce the actions of live weapons, including recoil, and the simulators provide instructors with real-time information such as trainees' situational awareness and point-of-aim.
