T2 Tactical Training Systems
The centerpiece of the American Institute for Defense and Tactical Studies is the T2 Live-Fire Interactive Tactical Training System.
T2, in service with some of the world's top-tier counter-terrorist and Special Forces units, consists of three primary components—the patented shoot screen and bullet-trap, which allows shooters to fire ammunition (9mm, .38 .357, 10mm, 40 caliber S&W, .44 Magnum, 5.56mm, 7.62mm and .308) at scenarios broadcast from a control room; an infrared sensor that determines where the fired shots actually hit; and, state-of-the-art software that allows the end-user to effortlessly produce their own real-life scenarios according to each specific agency's needs and requirements. The ease of use and the integration of store-bought video equipment enables training officers to produce filmed scenarios quickly and inexpensively. The user-friendly software not only creates life-like interaction between the video scenarios and the shooter, but can also be used to log a shooter's progression for review of firearms proficiency over time.
The T2 Training Systems range from mobile units built into forty-foot containers that can be ferried from location to location on the back of a semi-trailer to permanent in-house designs built inside new or existing police stations or military bases. Systems can also be built-to-spec to create elaborate multiplex training facilities in which several large-scale and modular ranges are connected to one another by a master control console.
T2 is an environmentally friendly system, with outside air drawn in by a large air handling unit and blown across the range in a non-turbulent laminar flow. This air collects the burnt powder and lead particulate as it travels down range and is then picked up by an equally large exhaust system both at the screen and in the bullet trap area. The air is then forced through a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter, which is electronically monitored for efficiency, and exhausted to the outside as hospital-grade clean air. In addition, our revolutionary steel bullet trap design breaks the bullet into small fragments and collects them in its self-contained collection bin, where the fragments can easily be reclaimed for abatement. All interior surfaces are designed both to absorb sound and to be easy to clean with the use of a special HEPA equipped vacuum.
