Featured Technologies
D-TAC developed a proprietary hardware and software system that revolutionized law enforcement training in de-escalation and use-of-force. Here are highlights of some non-confidential elements:
1. Recoiling Sim Guns, Pepper Spray and Taser
Each scenario allows you the opportunity to use a recoiling sim gun that features realistic recoil and sound. D-TAC tech tracks every micromovement of the firearms, including trigger pull details.
Depending on the scenario, pepper spray or a taser may also be necessary. Those who don’t want to carry a gun can navigate several scenarios with pepper spray alone.
2. Shooting Range
The D-TAC shooting range offers traditional target shooting, individualized video instructions, and multiple drills to challenge even the most advanced shooter.
3. Competition Course
Shooting targets in good lighting and while standing still is a good first step. The Competition Course elevates the experience by providing an environment where trainees move and shoot targets in all directions, including below and above.
Distracting sound effects, lights, scents and threats from all angles demand a high level of situational awareness and focus.
4. High-Tech Scenarios
The ultimate test of skill and decision-making is found in the Scenario Environments. Each of our immersive environments features state-of-the-art technology to blur the lines of simulation and reality. All the skills learned in the shooting range and competition room are put to the test as characters react to your actions or lack thereof.
Sounds, smells and visual effects temporarily suspend disbelief and immerse you in high-stress situations where life and death decisions must be made. There may even be a locked door that needs to be breached.
5. After Action Review (AAR) Center
Hone your defensive skills by reviewing your personal videos and detailed stats during an analysis of your performance at the AAR Center.
