  • Publication number: 20180142994
    Abstract: A disruptor device simulation system is described. Embodiments of the of the simulation system include a disruptor device, one or more training cartridges, and a simulator system. The disruptor device can be loaded with training cartridges and implemented in a training scenario. The training cartridges can include a pair of infrared lasers and an infrared emitter. The simulator system can alter the training scenario based detecting pulses of light generated by the lasers and signals from the infrared emitter. In one embodiment, the simulator system can be adapted to determine when a trigger of the disruptor device is pulled and when an arc switch of the disruptor device is pressed. The simulator system can include a sensor adapted to detect the pulses of light generated by the pair of lasers. The simulator system can further include a receiver adapted to detect signals generated by the emitter.

  • Publication number: 20160117945
    Abstract: A use of force training system is described. Embodiments of the use of force training system can include a weapon, a simulator system, and an eye tracking device. Typically, a trainee can be outfitted with the weapon and the eye tracking device. The eye tracking device can be implemented to track where the trainee is focusing while interacting with a training scenario. Typically, an instructor can provide feedback to the trainee based on information provided by the eye tracking device in a use of force simulation setting. In some embodiments, the simulator system can be adapted to alter a training scenario based on data received from the eye tracking device.
