HOUSTON, June 26, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- VirTra Systems, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VTSI) today named its advisory board member and recently retired major general, Perry V. Dalby, as VirTra Systems' chief executive officer.

"General Dalby's acceptance of the chief executive officer position is a landmark turning-event in VirTra Systems' history," commented Andrew Wells, VirTra Systems' director. "General Dalby not only brings to VirTra Systems 37-years of distinguished military command and training experience, but also offers the added dimensions of successful management of private-sector contract-manufacturing operations and well-established defense-related purchasing relationships.

"This 'one-two punch,' combining military training command and private sector contract-manufacturing experience, is exactly what VirTra Systems needs in a chief executive officer. General Dalby has just returned from a "tour- of-duty" in Iraq after serving over a year as the Deputy Program Manager for Support for KBR, a subsidiary of Halliburton Company, Inc., and we consider his appointment a perfect fit for our continuing efforts to support global military and law enforcement small arms simulator sales," concluded Wells.

"Seldom does life offer a career path that allows one to have true passion in a vocation, and it is for this reason that I am pleased to have been chosen as VirTra Systems' chief executive officer," commented Major General Perry V. Dalby (AUS-retired). "I have seen combat change significantly during my career in the military and steadfastly believe that VirTra Systems' products are precisely what the military needs going forward to better prepare troops for modern 'fourth-generation' urban warfare. VirTra Systems' brilliant engineers have solved the age-old problem of effectively preparing dismounted troops for the realities of the battlefield, using high-definition simulation to hone their skills.

"I intend, as my first order of business, to promote development of the IVR(R) small arms simulator as an approved military program-of-record, paving the way for wide-ranging military deployment of immersive small arms training," General Dalby concluded.

General Dalby's distinguished military career is highlighted by award of the Distinguished Service Medal, Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star (two clusters), Purple Heart, and Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, among others. General Dalby most recently retired as the commanding general from the prestigious 75th Division (training support) out of Houston, Texas, where he mobilized the division in support of the Global War on Terrorism in January 2003.
