Tactical Team Training app (tablet and headset)

On the tablet application, trainers can create customizable multi-room layouts, manage subject behavior in real time, and adapt scenarios as situations evolve. The experience enables repeatable, scenario-driven training that helps agencies reinforce communication, movement, and tactical coordination across a wide range of operational situations.

In Move and Engage, trainees enhance TASER energy weapon proficiency by moving around obstacles and repositioning to gain more advantageous engagement angles. The exercise reinforces controlled movement, effective positioning, target focus, weapon orientation, and situational awareness throughout the engagement. Trainees practice deployment accuracy and probe spread to achieve neuromuscular incapacitation (NMI). See Simulator Training: Range Skills.
