VirTra Sole Source
SOLE SOURCE DOCUMENTATION
August 17th, 2018
For the purposes of creating a sole source justification for VirTra Inc’s line of simulators, the following details regarding VirTra
Simulators should be considered:
VirTra has been developing and producing a proprietary simulation system and software using multiple screens and real video for
small arms and use of force training since 2001. Based upon our research, VirTra is the only manufacturer of firearms simulation
equipment and proprietary software to incorporate real and interactive video seamlessly displayed and fully interactive across all
screens at the same time. Video based characters and laser tracking equipment can be engaged and detected on each of the
screens of the simulator at the same time or in series of events that trigger others to occur on different screens.
In addition, VirTra invented the Threat-Fire™ Device and is the only manufacturer of this equipment throughout the world. VirTra
has been awarded a US Patents (#8,016,594, #8,267,691) for the Threat-Fire device and is the only simulator company that can
produce or sell any device using electronic impulses to simulate consequences during screen-based simulation training. The Threat
Fire device can be added to any and all VirTra simulators after the initial purchase and at a later date.
Research shows that VirTra Inc. is the only manufacturer of simulators to offer an Upgrade Path allowing customers to maintain the
value of their simulation equipment while under warranty and apply the full value towards the purchase of more immersive VirTra
simulation technology at a later date. Example: A customer purchases a V-180™, system and wants to upgrade to a five-screen
system later and while under warranty- the full value of the V180 System will be applied to the purchase price of the V300™, five-
screen system and the equipment will be upgraded.
Lastly, VirTra has created a proprietary software package called V-Author™. The V-Author software allows for the creation of unique
training content that can only be used on the VirTra line of simulation equipment. The V-Author software is the only known
software allowing for the creation and display of real video-based assets on multiple, seamless screens where all are interactive. V-
Author software and scenarios can be added to any and all VirTra simulators after the initial purchase and at a later date as
requested by the customer.
In summary:
VirTra Simulators have the exclusive ability to simulate return fire and consequences by delivering electrical impulses to the
trainee.
VirTra Simulators seamlessly display real and completely interactive video across all multiple and interconnected screens.
VirTra Simulators use an automatic ‘table top’ refill station with a pump to recharge the liquid C02 propellant used in the
tether-less recoil systems. The refill station uses Adapter Plates custom made to fit specific magazines.
The VirTra V-Author software can only be used on VirTra Simulators.
VirTra Inc. is the only manufacturer of simulation equipment that offers an Upgrade Path.
VirTra
VirTra is the only responsive and responsible source for the above mentioned equipment and capabilities. This statement is
