Welcome to the American Institute for Defense and Tactical Studies

American Defense Systems, Inc. (ADSI), a global leader in the design, fabrication, and installation of cutting-edge protection solutions for the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and Homeland Security and Law Enforcement agencies, proudly presents the American Institute for Defense and Tactical Studies.

The American Institute for Defense and Tactical Studies is a center of excellence designed to provide those who defend, serve and protect us with the knowledge and skill sets needed to survive the dangers encountered domestically in the war on crime and the threats faced overseas in the Global War on Terror. The American Institute for Defense and Tactical Studies hosts courses and seminars taught by the world's preeminent subject matter experts in the fields of Counterterrorism, Fundamentalist Islam and Middle Eastern Mindset, Dignitary Protection, IED Terrorist Tradecraft, Emergency Tactical Medicine, Post Suicide-Bombing Command and Incident Response, Forensics, and Hand-to-Hand Combat. These specialists, many of whom are former operators and unit commanders, bring their knowledge and combat experience to today's frontline law enforcement officers, military war fighters and tactical professionals.

The instruction is enhanced by the T2 Live-Fire Interactive Tactical Training System. T2 provides law enforcement, SWAT team members, tactical specialists and military operators with the opportunity to hone their firearms and combat skills — with their own weapons and ammunition— in conjunction with realistic video scenarios broadcast on a large life-like screen.

The institute's philosophy, like that of ADSI, is to connect outside-the-box thinking and state-of-the-art technology to produce innovative solutions to the most challenging of tactical threats.

We protect and serve those who defend, serve and protect us.
