ATLANTA – August 8, 2023: InVeris Training Solutions is honored to announce its selection by the Air Force Security Forces Center as the preferred manufacturer for innovative virtual simulations training systems. Our state-of-the-art FATS 100MIL stands as the pinnacle of weapons training simulators, tailored to serve the needs of both military personnel and security training. This accomplishment marks a significant milestone as we have now successfully collaborated with all branches of the U.S. Military.
The FATS 100MIL, equipped with U.S. Air Force courseware, embodies the same excellence as the systems currently utilized by the U.S. Marine Corps (ISMT), U.S. Army (EST ll), U.S. Navy virtual simulation programs, and multiple allied militaries across the globe. InVeris Training Solutions is renowned for delivering exceptional virtual training systems that encompass an array of small arms, light, medium, and heavy machine guns, rockets, and mortar simulations. InVeris aims to enhance military readiness through Marksmanship, Use of Force, and collective training within a virtual battleground, the FATS 100MIL which offers an unparalleled training experience.
Notably, the FATS 100MIL surpasses the stringent AFI 36-2654 Combat Arms Program training requirements, establishing itself as the sole system that comprehensively meets the exacting Air Force firearms simulator standards. The system’s expandability further enables seamless integration of new virtual reality and augmented reality trainers crafted by InVeris Training Solutions. Our systems not only cater to combat arms and sustainment training but also fulfill the prerequisites of the innovative Ready Airmen Training program and the essential Shoot, Move, and Communicate training.
In expressing our gratitude, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Air Force Security Forces Center for their trust and confidence in both our product and our company.

ATLANTA – JUNE 16, 2023: InVeris Training Solutions, Inc., the leading provider of technology-driven training solutions for defense forces, law enforcement agencies and commercial shooting range owners around the globe, has expanded its executive leadership team with the hire of former Atlanta and Louisville Police Chief Erika Shields as Chief Commercial Officer.
Shields brings decades of management experience to InVeris, along with a focus on using InVeris’ simulation technology to help law enforcement officers across the country make better decisions in their field. Shields will work with leadership in the military and law enforcement agencies as they leverage the company’s virtual reality and augmented reality products to improve split-second decision-making and protect our communities.
“The technology InVeris has is superb, and it brings to the table what police chiefs across the country are looking for,” said Shields. “This product allows law enforcement and military personnel to train on a regular basis in real-life scenarios with feedback focused on de-escalation and improving outcomes.”
Shields began her law enforcement career in 1995 with the Atlanta Police Department, ultimately serving as Chief of Police from 2016 to 2020. She became Louisville (Ky.) Chief of Police in 2021 and led the Louisville Police Department until earlier this year.
“Erika shares our mission, which is focused on solving our customers’ essential training needs in ways that ultimately foster a safer environment on the job and in the communities they serve,” said InVeris CEO Clyde Tuggle. “Throughout her law enforcement career, she has embraced and leveraged technology solutions to train officers, track crime trends and, ultimately, keep our cities safer. We are excited to welcome Erika to InVeris and will rely on her vast leadership experience to ensure we continue to provide innovative and cutting-edge training products and services that best support the military and law enforcement industries.”
Shields joins InVeris Training Solutions at a vital time in its 95-year history, as the company expands its virtual training solutions to better meet the needs of a rapidly-changing industry. In late 2022, InVeris introduced SVR 3.3, which enhances trainees’ performance and judgment skills through providing instructors with biometric insight into a trainee’s stress levels during these training scenarios, which can be used to further understand trainees’ mental and emotional abilities to cope and interact during various real-world events.
“Erika has a depth of experience that makes her perfectly suited to understand the needs and challenges of leaders in this industry,” said InVeris Board Chair and former U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss. “Her voice will resonate with those who are charged with directing the nation’s preeminent law enforcement agencies, as well as our dedicated members of the military, who work tirelessly to build safer communities.”
Shields has seen the value of this technology-driven approach, which leverages virtual reality, augmented reality and projection systems for law enforcement training.
“The ability to re-create the stressors that go into every scenario where officers have to shift gears so quickly, that is so crucial to every officer on a beat,” she said. “You really have to get an officer conditioned to understand they have to take so many factors into account – most importantly, their stress level – to make the correct decision.
“Developing this level of understanding leads to fewer incidents and a safer community and country.”

Suwanee, GA, November 2, 2021 — InVeris Training Solutions, the leading provider of integrated virtual and live fire training systems and services for domestic and international law enforcement and military customers, will launch a groundbreaking new virtual training system at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and EducationConference (I/ITSEC). An annual modeling, simulation and training event, I/ITSEC will be held on Nov. 29-Dec. 3 in Orlando, Florida at the Orlando Convention Center.
The new product, which will be officially launched and demonstrated at the show, promises to be the next evolution in virtual training, offering immersive technology thought to be years away.
“We couldn’t be more excited to show how this new system will transform the way we think about the future of training,” said ChiefExecutive Officer, Al Weggeman. “Adding the new product to our offerings, which already includes industry-leading virtual reality, projection-based simulation training and live fire solutions, cements InVeris’ position as the leading training system provider to defense forces and security organizations around the world.”
In addition to the new product launch, InVeris will also display the VR-DT(Virtual Reality – Decisions and Tactics) system for de-escalation training, as well as two military live fire products: Multi-Function Stationary Infantry Target(MF-SIT) and LOMAH (Location of Miss and Hit). While at the show, attendees can explore the following products:

The MF-SIT system is operated through radio frequency, hardwire or Ethernet controls that enable great flexibility in range design and usage.
- LOMAH adds shot scoring to targets on military live fire ranges by measuring the precise time of a bullet’s supersonic shock wave passing over a ballistically protected microphone sensor array. Triangulation of sound waves for hit location makes InVeris’ offering unique in this market, determining the bullet’s location and presenting a graphical image on the shooter’s firing point computer.

Suwanee, GA, August 25, 2021 — InVeris Training Solutions, the leading provider of integrated virtual and live fire training systems and services for domestic and international law enforcement customers, announced today that it has acquired SURVIVR, a privately held, Dallas-based Public BenefitCorporation devoted to public safety. With the addition of SURVIVR to its industry-leading readiness training solutions portfolio, InVeris continues to build on its long-standing commitment to deliver effective, reliable, and innovative products and services for when split-second decisions matter.
“SURVIVR’s premier virtual reality police training system and patented technology complements recent research and development by InVeris. It will be incorporated into our VR-DT solution to expand future capabilities,” said InVeris CEO Al Weggeman. “All police forces – large and small, urban and rural – need and deserve the most realistic, effective training. This acquisition by InVeris strengthens our product offering to better prepare law enforcement officers for real-life situations in their community.”
“SURVIVR’s virtual reality technology has been chosen by various law enforcement departments and the U.S. Air Force Security Forces,” noted Brian Hoang, the company’s co-founder who will now serve as InVeris’ director of VR/AR strategy. “Joining InVeris enables us to combine the best aspects of both systems, providing an unrivaled solution for existing and future customers.”
Simulation training, which provides trainees with real-to-life experiences, has been an important component of law enforcement and defense training for decades.

Suwanee, GA, June 8, 2021 — InVeris Training Solutions, the leading provider of integrated live fire and virtual weapons training systems and services for domestic and international military and law enforcement, will display its live fire portfolio at the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s Range-Retailer Business Expo. The event, designed to connect range owners, operators and related retailers with industry providers of products, services and training, will be held on July 12-14 in West Palm Beach, Florida.
“InVeris is ideally positioned to help shooting range operators and associated retailers increase business and enhance safety,” said Jon Read, InVeris’ live fire systems director. “Our 95-year track record of innovation outfitting more than 15,500 ranges demonstrates our enduring commitment to operators here in the United States and around the world.”
Since 1926, InVeris has provided numerous shooting range innovations through its legacy live fire brand Caswell. They include the world’s first moving target carrier, the industry’s first environmentally friendly bullet trap to reduce lead dust, the industry’s first wireless range control system and the world’s first fully mobile shooting range.
Visitors to the InVeris booth will see a variety of products represented, from shooting stalls to bullet traps. The XWT GEN4 wireless target carrier builds on the industry’s first wireless, 360º turning system. The XWT GEN4 uses a lithium ion battery with a positive locking connection and ergonomic placement. This technology provides a 50% increase in battery watt hours. The new docking system improves contact design for faster, more reliable charging; that means more time using the XWT GEN4 and less time charging it. Programmable distraction lighting integrates red, blue and white LEDs with four times the brightness of previous models. The quiet, smooth, low-maintenance wireless carrier is easily operated and programmable, essential for successful training and usability.
InVeris will also showcase models of two key products: The GranTrap™ granulated rubber bullet trap utilizes soft media to stop incoming rounds and capture them predominantly intact. This minimizes airborne lead dust, averts back-splatter and ricochet, and minimizes impact noise. The result is a cleaner and safer environment for shooting ranges, maximizing bullet recovery and recycling processes. The Road Range™ is a self-contained firearms training facility that integrates live fire and simulated training capabilities in a mobile environment. The ballistically secure trailer is fully equipped to produce a three-position, state-of-the-art, live fire range, or can be equipped with a FATS® virtual training system for less lethal and non-lethal options such as verbal commands, baton, chemical spray and TASER®.

Suwanee, GA, June 1, 2021 — InVeris Training Solutions, the leading provider of integrated live fire and virtual weapons training systems and services for domestic and international military and law enforcement, has successfully passed on-site acceptance testing for 14 Mobile Weapon Training Simulation Systems (MWTSS) and an additional 73 EF88 weapon simulators for the Australian Defence Force (ADF). The MWTSS has the same capability as the fixed WTSS, but in a single (4.2m x 2.4m) screen mobile configuration that will be deployed to remote locations around Australia, overseas and on Royal Australian Navy (RAN) fleet units. An additional four MWTSS have been ordered and the currently fielded trial system will be refurbished to the current build standard then returned for use, providing an initial tranche of 19 systems.
The MWTSS will be provided in multiple configurations designed to cater for the needs of those units and regions receiving the capability. Every system will have purpose-designed TrimcastTM cases for air compressor, air cylinders, binoculars and ancillaries. Operational units and RAN will receive the EF88 weapon simulator, also in Trimcast cases, with other systems being delivered with F88 weapon simulators in the interim. Units deploying overseas or on fleet units will have a complete spare parts kit to cater for any maintenance issues whilst deployed.
The MWTSS replaces the Portable WTSS which commenced trials in 2006 and entered service as an interim solution in 2014. MWTSS will be supported under the WTSS service support contract by InVeris, with instructor courses being conducted from June 2021, commencing at HMAS Penguin.
“MWTSS provides the highest levels of realism for marksmanship, judgmental, collective and call-for-fire training,” said Andrea Czop, vice president of strategy, sales and marketing for InVeris Training Solutions. “These mobile systems will provide world-class firearms and tactical training capability anywhere the ADF is deployed.”
“InVeris has been a proud supplier of WTSS capability to the ADF since 1999,” said Kevin McNaughton, managing director, InVeris Training Solutions Pty Ltd. “We remain a committed partner supporting the operational readiness of Australia’s soldiers, sailors and airmen with advanced simulation and training systems.”

Suwanee, GA, March 1, 2021 – InVeris Training Solutions today released details of its all-new advanced training solution called the VR-DT (Virtual Reality Decisions and Tactics). The system uses the latest fully immersive VR technology for training de-escalation of force in a wide variety of critical, real-world situations. California’s Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (CA POST), which oversees training statewide, will serve as the solution’s launch customer.
The VR-DT was chosen in August 2020 by California POST following a competitive procurement process for its VR Force Options Simulator requirement. InVeris will deliver 50 systems during a six-month period as part of a $2.6 million contract award with the option for up to $5 million in additional systems and related equipment. Approximately half the systems are to be delivered and installed by March 1. InVeris will supply 100 scenarios with branching options initially, plus 10 state-mandated ones per year of the contract. In addition, a powerful scenario authoring tool will enable customer-driven content creation to further enhance realism using situations and settings reflective of California.
“California POST’s selection of InVeris’ new VR-DT reinforces our company’s position as the world leader in law enforcement simulation training, now delivered via virtual reality,” said Andrea Czop, vice president of strategy, sales and marketing at InVeris Training Solutions. “The VR-DT will put California law enforcement on the leading edge of force-option simulation training thanks to the unique immersive capabilities of virtual reality.”
The VR-DT enables law enforcement agencies, as well as private and military security forces, to maximize readiness and correctly educate students for field experiences. The system combines state-of-the-art hardware, scalable software and a content library that is always increasing. A variety of officer weapons and equipment can be accommodated, including simulated pistols, rifles, shotguns, batons, TASERs, OC sprays and flashlights. The adjustable and modular system works anywhere, from one to two-person sessions.
“The VR-DT builds on nearly four decades of experience designing projection-based systems, but provides even greater realism,” said Eric Perez, the company’s director of virtual systems sales. “Two officers training in a tactical scenario will benefit from their own viewpoints and spatial orientation, while still being tested on their verbal and physical actions. Moreover, after-action review of decision-making in such situations will be enhanced thanks to the precise tracking and playback of trainee movements in their respective virtual spaces.”
Utilizing the latest wireless, high-definition headsets with impressive 360-degree fields of view and weapons tracking, officers train in fully immersive environments that put them in the action. The ability to perform a traffic stop or intervene in a domestic altercation from two perspectives, create distance and angles between students and move to cover are all enhanced with the VR-DT. A lightweight, fully customized laptop allows the instructor to influence the scenarios, environments and weapons.
Depending on the trainee’s actions, the instructor can branch the scenarios to escalate or de-escalate the situation, then review their decision-making skills to ensure proper tactics are used from any angle during after-action review. These virtual environments and ambient features increase the student’s psychological immersion and focus when dealing with the situation at hand. By increasing the immersions, the trainee’s mental recall is heightened, thus enhancing their overall training experience.
Development of the VR-DT is an evolution of InVeris’ class-leading Firearms Training Systems (FATS®) and recognizes the increased focus and scrutiny on law enforcement training. Community, state and national leaders are concentrating on issues like de-escalation, crisis intervention and active shooters. The VR-DT will help enhance the conveyance of proper decision-making skills to protect lives in California and beyond.

“Thanks to new, dynamic ownership, InVeris Training Solutions is now better positioned than ever to deliver superior in-house military and law enforcement expertise, combined with local support across our portfolio,” said Andrea Czop, vice president of strategy, sales and marketing. “Our advanced virtual, live fire and integrated solutions can help Middle Eastern and other military forces better prepare to act at a moment’s notice to counter emerging and evolving threats.”
The company will have a dual presence at IDEX again for 2021. At stand #02-A01, InVeris will showcase its extensive live fire portfolio, including models of three key products: The GranTrap™ granulated rubber bullet trap, Shoot House Optimized for Tactical Training (SHOTT™) tactical environment for critical skills training, and Road Range™ self-contained, transportable weapons training facility. Targeting systems will also feature prominently, including the XWT, the industry’s first wireless, 360-degree turning target retrieval system, as well as the Multi-Function Stationary Infantry Target (MF-SIT) that can respond to hits or a pre-programmed scenario, ensuring trainees do not anticipate target actions. Finally, the LOMAH (location of miss and hit)system provides the information needed to accurately display shot grouping and zeroing of weapons more effectively, resulting in improved marksmanship skills. Combined with a variety of shooting lanes and control systems, no other company can provide a comparable total firing range solution.
On the International Golden Group stand (#04-C20), InVeris will display the FATS® 180MIL simulation training system that puts users in the action, facing realistic pressures while maintaining situational awareness. The system utilizes the same high-fidelity ballistic engine validated by the US Army, Marine Corps and other military customers. The FATS 180MIL at IDEX will be complemented by a selection of simulated weapons, including the wireless M249 BlueFire®, M24 Sniper Rifle (Remington 700), M4 BlueFire, Glock 17 BlueFire and AK-47. For more than three decades, FATS has been the leader in virtual training, serving as the system of record for NATO military forces and other allies, along with law enforcement departments around the world. The FATS 180MIL and 300MIL are InVeris’ latest offerings in this market.

Suwanee, GA, Nov. 29, 2021 — InVeris Training Solutions, the leading provider of integrated live fire and virtual weapons training systems for military, law enforcement agencies and commercial shooting ranges, today unveils SRCE™ (See, Rehearse, Collectively Experience or”Source”), a groundbreaking, augmented reality-based, untethered weapons training simulator. InVeris Training Solutions provides the most advanced augmented reality technology available in a military and law enforcement training simulator, a feat previously thought to be years away by many in the industry.
“Augmented reality delivers the best of the virtual and real worlds in a way that’s fully lifelike, seamless, customizable and economical,” said InVeris CEO Al Weggeman. “Physical training facilities can be scanned and augmented to become instant shoot houses by integrating outside content in just minutes. More importantly, we can compare and measure individual and team performance with high precision real-time location tracking of every participant, weapon and even ammunition round.”
Critical, use-of-force training can now occur at the point of need or anywhere in the world. This never-experienced complete immersive technology delivers a way to see, rehearse and collectively experience techniques, tactics and procedures with real-time location, movement, orientation and biometric sensing for training and operations. SRCE’s proprietary scanning technology allows an instructor to capture the space intended for use as a shoot house using a tablet or other device with a high-resolution camera. Hostile forces, suspects, decoys, hostages, and other parties are all delivered digitally, eliminating the need for opposition role players. SRCE’s ability to create a virtual shoot house on the fly lends to active shooter and mission rehearsal training. Wearable, untethered technology, including an AR head-mounted display, provides realistic immersion without compromising freedom of movement and is fully compatible with InVeris’ highly accurate BlueFire® simulated weapons.
The unparalleled interactive after-action review (AAR) collects performance data for statistical analysis of never-before-available parameters, including muzzle direction, weapon discharge, missed rounds, eye tracking and head placement. Body sensors monitor a trainee’s heart rate, breathing, gaze and other biological signs in real-time. Trainees can even walk through their previous session, seeing every element played back around them as a visualization to review operational performance. This highly immersive AAR creates the optimal opportunity for instructors to increase training fidelity and retention.
