Virtual Reality Defense Training and Simulations – tactical & small arms training

Bringing the power of proven experience, immersive scenarios, and realistic weapons to a 360° virtual training environment.

fats®VR – THE WORLD’S MOST RELIABLE, ROBUST AND IMMERSIVE VR DEFENSE TRAINING SYSTEM.

For nearly half a century, InVeris has led the way in firearms instruction—pioneering virtual reality defense training that advances human performance and mission readiness. Today, InVeris is the world’s leading provider of technology-driven VR and AR training solutions for the military.

With the launch of the next generation of the fats®VR system, defense personnel get full benefit of innovative weapons training systems that help keep them safe and make the world a safer place: from de-escalation, use-of-force training, including non-lethal options, to real physical environments and live team members with Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) virtual characters, avatars and assets.

It’s the very first system designed for mission-critical collective training and the first virtual way for close-quarters situations. fats® feedback includes everything from a real-time and After-Action Review that allows you to replay shooter actions from multiple views from enhanced training recognition to de-escalation training.

We’re also changing the economics and logistics of readiness training and mission rehearsal.

InVeris has fielded more than 5,100 fats®VR simulation training systems and 40,000 laser-based tactical simulators – including 300+ types of weapons – in more than 130 countries. With global customer service and a knowledgeable partner proud of its defense and weapons training experience who understands your wants, needs and how to meet them.
