Don Andrus, VirTra Systems' President and COO, today announced the sale of multiple weapon simulators to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The purchase includes borderless screens, elevated training platforms plus a full sound effects package for each simulator. Trainee Monitoring and Recording (TMaR) was also included in the purchase as well as 18 patent-pending Threat-fire return fire simulators to enhance stress and realism during training. Rifle and handgun recoil kits were also purchased for use with the simulator as well as VirTra's unique easy-to-use recoil kit refill station. The total value of the order is approximately $900,000.
This is the third sale of VirTra's virtual training simulators to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the systems will be installed as soon as possible in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
