X01 Fixed Firearm Training Simulator The Contractor shall provide a complete fixed firearm training simulator system. The system shall include all required hardware, software, applications/programs, CPU, Audio/Video systems (projectors, screens, monitors, and sound system) and all accessories and devices required for proper operation and function. The Contractor shall include all necessary cabling and connectors required for system installation.

The system shall provide a realistic training environment. The system shall support lowlight, no-light, static target and moving target training scenarios. The system shall have targets scalable to distances of feet, yards, and meters and shall have programmable, timed targets for qualification courses. The visual presentation of the targets shall accurately represent the appearance of an actual target at the simulated distance. The system shall allow the instructor to create customized qualification courses.

The environments depicted on screen must be common settings found in urban, rural and industrial areas, with common vehicular or pedestrian traffic.

The system shall be ballistically accurate based on the type of weapon and round being fired. The visual scene shall simulate the weapons interaction with the environment from the time it is shot to the time of impact. The model behavior and effects of the simulated ammunition impact on the target, structures, and other areas shall replicate the effects of the actual ammunition. Each human target’s killing radius shall be defined to distinguish between a lethal shot, capacitating shot, mobility and non-lethal areas of the target.

The system shall have the ability to integrate simulated non-lethal weapons, such as Taser, OC Spray, and similar items. The system shall have the ability to incorporate handheld and weapon mounted lights in low and no light scenarios.

The Contractor shall deliver judgmental use-of-force video scenarios. The video scenarios shall depict typical situations which law enforcement personnel face in the execution of their duties.

Expected Use The system will be used in basic and advanced weapons training for developing proficiency in marksmanship, use of force judgment skills, close quarters shooting skills, tactical reloading and weapon malfunction clearing related to multifaceted police operations.
