Meggitt Training Systems to Highlight Small-Arms Simulator Portfolio at Police Security Expo

Meggitt Training Systems will highlight its full range of small-arms training systems at the 32nd Annual Police Security Expo. The law enforcement event will be held June 26-27, 2018 at the Atlantic City Convention Center in New Jersey.

“From marksmanship to potential use-of-force situations, Meggitt’s growing product line of simulators helps train police officers across the country and around the world,” said Matt Cunningham, Meggitt’s manager of virtual systems. “Police Security Expo attendees are invited to see a demo of the portable FATS® 100P, learn about our multi-screen FATS 300LE, and see a variety of Glock, SIG SAUER, M4, X26P, OC spray and shotgun wireless BlueFire® weapons.”

Meggitt Training Systems sources a significant amount of its workforce from law enforcement. As such, the company is ideally positioned to leverage that expertise to address evolving requirements from police departments. Products to be highlighted at Police Security Expo will include:

  • The FATS 100P features advanced functionality for both instructor and trainee, delivering weapon handling and shot placement analytics, marksmanship automatic coaching tools, video-based judgmental training for escalation and de-escalation, and enhanced graphic capabilities, all in a compact package. Portable and light, the FATS 100P comes in two rugged hand-carry cases the size of a large range bag that allow easy transportation, set-up and operation by one person. Up to six weapon simulators, including wireless BlueFire® ones, can be run simultaneously.
  • The FATS 300LE includes five, free-standing flat screens, each featuring a 150”x84”, 16:9 aspect ratio, borderless projection surface arranged in hexagonal format. Five digital cameras feed information into the hit detection system, while ultra-short-throw projectors allow users freedom of movement within the training space. The system can be operated in a variety of lighting conditions, featuring a combination of scenario 5.1 audio sounds, plus those added by the instructor for increased realism.
