VirTra Systems sells combat arms simulator to Air Force

ARLINGTON, Texas, Oct. 1, 2004. VirTra Systems, Inc. today announced the sale of an IVR-180 HD high-definition firearms training system to MacDill Air Force Base, near Tampa, Florida.

The system was shipped to the Air Force this week for full installation in the near future.
The IVR-180 HD system contains a complement of specially-modified training weapons. The Air Force intends to utilize this IVR-180 system in its combat arms instruction and marksmanship training initiatives.

"We are naturally pleased the Air Force continues to utilize VirTra Systems' simulator technology to train its mission-critical troops," stated Michael Kitchen, VirTra Systems' vice president of training and simulation. "As more of our revolutionary systems are placed, we fully expect demand for our multi-dimensional, high-definition training systems to accelerate and become the new standard for military firearms training."

"VirTra Systems continues to make great corporate strides," commented L. Kelly Jones, VirTra Systems' chief executive officer. "As our recent sales initiatives reach fruition, we are finding increased demand for our new IVR HD series of training simulators. We have every expectation of a very successful fall for our company and its shareholders."

Utilizing patented technology, VirTra Systems markets situational awareness/judgmental use-of-force firearms training systems to military agencies such as the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army, and to national and international law enforcement agencies. Using the sensations of motion, touch, sound, and smell, the company also produces custom promotional virtual reality systems and 3-D theaters for clients such as General Motors, Pennzoil, Red Baron Pizza, and the U.S. Army.
