Letter from the CEO
Ten years ago, VirTra engineers put the finishing touches on the world's first multi-screen simulator capable of using photorealistic video across multiple screens, the V-300™. At the same time, VirTra engineers also created the world's first electric return fire training tool - the patented Threat-Fire™. Individually, these were incredible advances in realistic simulation training, but when combined, they were a giant leap forward for the simulation industry.
VirTra defined a whole new class of superior situational awareness and judgmental use of force simulation, led by our immersive 300-degree, V-300™ Simulator. I am eternally grateful and deeply humbled by the contributions of VirTra's employees, customers and stakeholders who cared enough about trainees to invest in pushing the standard of effective training to higher and higher levels. Thank you!
As our list of talented employees and customers grows, and we continue to build on the foundation of 21 years in the simulation industry, our promise of improving effective simulation training has never been greater!
Sincerely,
Bob Ferris - CEO, VirTra

V-Marksmanship™ Additions
VirTra's software team made many advances to our state-of-the-art marksmanship software. Several of the improvements are "under the hood" and both enhance performance while adding training flexibility. Along with maintaining highly realistic ballistics, we added support for wireless weapon integration and upgraded the tracking solution just to name a few improvements.
Also completed this quarter is the addition of a large assortment of new targets, some of which are shown below.

World Leading Active Shooter Training
Simulation training is not just about incredible simulator hardware - VirTra's content team continues to ensure our training exercises are the best in the world. At VirTra, we routinely incorporate multiple training objectives into each scenario. For the customer, this multiplies the benefit of each minute spent in the simulator, and requires trainees to handle what feels like a real life situation. VirTra's Multi-Incident Scenarios are incredibly challenging, in-your-face realistic, and something you have to experience firsthand.

V-Author™ - Get What You Want
VirTra's content team captured many green screen assets for use in the general V-Author™ library. Also, VirTra was contracted to produce some custom interactive V-Author™ characters for a customer. V-Author™ can often provide high-realism with quick scenario creation for unique customer requirements.
V-Author™ enhancements: support for less than lethal weapons, area-of-effect, and advanced hitzones.
In addition to growing the content library of V-Author™, VirTra invested in adding customer requested software features. During this quarter, V-Author™ received a huge upgrade with the addition of: support for all of VirTra's weapon systems - including less than lethal support, real time statistics tracking, multi-background support, and performance improvements. V-Author™ now has advanced area-of-effect capabilities so simulated tear gas acts appropriately, affecting an area that grows over time and then decays. Enhanced debrief capabilities are next on the improvement list, but if you have a particular idea for a V-Author™ feature, please contact VirTra.
Safety
Safety in Training
We cannot overstate the importance of safety when it comes to training. That is why we have created a CO2 Safety Manual for our customers as a reference for safe practices. Even if you are not yet a VirTra customer, we encourage you to review the safety guidelines to help avoid accidents. Implementing proper safety measures are well worth the time and discipline - BEFORE an accident occurs.

VirTra Staff Grows
VirTra selectively hires people who are at the very top of their profession. During this quarter we hired several new and incredible software engineers. VirTra's success is largely based on the results generated by our talented staff - which is now even stronger!
