Less-lethal devices
Trainees can approach situations on the PRISim Suite simulator with less-lethal devices like OC spray and TASER, and use flashlights for low-light training.
Shot sequences and reactions can be played back and muzzle movements can be traced and displayed to verify appropriate use of the less-lethal weapons.

TASER®
The laser-modified TASER gives officers a chance to practice deploying this less-lethal weapon without incurring any operational costs. The device works exactly like its real-life counterpart with functional light, aiming laser and display. Replaceable cartridges allow officers to practice changing heads in the middle of the situation.
Each TASER is fitted with dual-laser inserts, both of which must hit the target area to create a successful strike. This means that officers can learn how to deploy TASER at the correct engagement distance.
Chemical sprays
A laser-equipped chemical agent canister provides yet another tool in the arsenal of weaponry for realistic use-of-force training. Full playback and scoring of the spray effectiveness allows the instructor to easily evaluate the correct deployment of the canister.
Flashlight
AIS offers a variety of flashlights to use in low-light simulation training. The ambient light level in any situation can be changed by the instructor while the scenario is playing, to force trainees to use the flashlight.
PRISim Suite simulates the flashlight beam by tracking a laser fitted inside the flashlight. During scenario playback the position of the beam is replayed on the screen, so the instructor can evaluate the effectiveness of flashlight deployment.
