Great find Teeroy! Here's another page from the link you sent (at the bottom of that page) that goes into more detail on the systems https://www.buk-sicherheit.de/ausbildung-training/taktisches-schiess-simulations-system:

Tactical shooting simulation system
Simulation system based on state-of-the-art technology

Img 300
The best system on the market!

Simple infrastructure: one office space is enough to set up the system for the trainees
Cost saving 1: low ammunition consumption, costs 40 € for 100.000 shots
Cost saving 2: Approval of the electric shock weapon on the simulator, initial savings 200 € plus 200 € per official
No maintenance costs - The simulator does not incur any costs for shot peening and powdered smoke
The simulator trains scenarios that are too dangerous for real fire bombardment

Here you can see the report about our simulation system in the Wehrtechnik-Edition 3/2017.

The concept

concept1
Multiple screen versus single screen

With the single-screen systems, you can perform very efficient, technical and tactical training. Also, smaller tactical scenarios can be trained very realistic, eg with our V-ST Pro Skills Trainer.

The advantage of multi-screen systems is primarily the fact that teams of up to 4 people can be practiced and, above all, the tunnel vision can be simulated.

Various scenarios can be trained outdoors or in buildings.
Original weapons / evaluation

It is trained with original weapons, whereby the rebound of the weapon and the reloading are simulated 1: 1. With wireless electronics, all the trainer's actions can be recorded and evaluated.

konzept2
quality

All scenarios are followed by professional actors, no computer animation takes place. This guarantees a very realistic representation. The programs are also able to respond to the shooters, especially when tactical mistakes are made.
tactics

All scenarios have been checked by military and police experts with experience.

V - Author

With the software, it is possible to create your own scenarios from the database. People can be "pulled" on a PC in a new environment. In addition, behavior can be predefined. This makes it very easy for the instructor to create his own scenarios according to his own
Needs and depending on the training of the trainees. The software is intuitive and very simple to set up - it does not need computer specialists.
training facility

Attachment 1
Original weapons including Taser

Original weapons and no replicas are used. Among the conventional weapon systems such as Glock, SIG, HK,
M4, AK can also simulate Taser inserts. The weapon handling, including the troubleshooting, corresponds to that of an original weapon.
The cable-free electronics allow for minute recording and evaluation.

Appendix 2
Bombardment simulation

With a device that can either be programmed for vibrations or light current, the instructor is able to control the enemy fire or resp. And to force a reaction of the trainee.

Appendix 3
Original true sound simulation

Great value is placed on the sound system so that a realistic environment with shooting noise and ambient noise can be presented.

Appendix 4
night training

Inserts at night or in general with reduced light with and without flashlight can be practiced very realistically.

V-300

V300 1

300 ° view with 5 screens with a background projection to avoid shadows. Also allows team training with indoor and outdoor scenarios.

V300 2
V-180

V180 1

180 ° view with 3 screens with a background projection to avoid shadows. Also allows team training with indoor and outdoor scenarios.

V180 2
V-ST Pro Skills Trainer

Vst 1

6 shooting ranges can be simulated. In addition to purely technical shooting programs (reaction, hit accuracy, etc.) tactical situations can also be trained. A different scenario can be run on each track.

The mobile solution
Container-based mobile solution for V-ST PRO, V-180 and V-300

mobile

Available since May 2016: all systems are available in a standard, expandable 20-foot container and ready for use after a 30-minute installation. With this possibility, trainees can be optimally prepared, eg for temporary training assignments abroad.
Summary
Simulation contra Scharfschuss

A shooting simulation system will not be able to completely replace the practice in the sharp shot, we see the simulation as a supplement to the traditional training methods with the following advantages:

Simple infrastructure: a Büroraum with a power connection is sufficient. You can set up the system where the trainees are - long shifts to shooting ranges become superfluous
Cost savings 1: Certain trainings in sharp shot can be taken over by the simulation system. Ammunition consumption can be significantly reduced.
Cost savings 2: It is possible to make the entire Taser training and certification on the simulator. Depending on the local certification scheme, up to 4 exercise cartridges per man per year can be saved.
Maintenance costs: In contrast to a shooting basement with an expensive ball catch and an elaborate ventilation, only the costs for the CO2 cartridges (re-impact of the weapon) are incurred in the simulator along with electricity and a few insignificant wear parts such as gaskets - costs around 40? Per 100,000 shot.
Training: The trainings are very efficient and effective. Even very experienced trainers can be put under stress very quickly. Furthermore, situations can be practiced in the simulator, which can only be carried out with a very high risk with sharp ammunition.
Health: The reduction of shooting in the shooting basement significantly reduces the health stress (powder vapors) of the instructors.

Advantages against the competition

Virtra is currently the best system on the market for the following reasons:

You can use your own weapons
The software is twice as accurate as the competition and is able to count on all ballistic data
The electric shock can significantly increase the training effectiveness
The scenarios resp. The behavior of the characters can be changed without effort - there is no habituation effect
It is possible to easily create your own scenarios
Easy analysis and reporting for certifications
Darkness and use with a flashlight can be trained realistically

Preparation for operations in the target country

Advance orders can be used to create photo and film recordings from scheduled missions. These can be used by deployment teams in the simulator for preparation and training of accesses or patrols. This makes very realistic preparations possible. Battles, failures, injured or dead can be minimized in this way.

Preparing for forces in the home country for deployment in the target country

If a simulation facility is available at the home location, backups for the camp can be prepared and trained in their home areas in their home country.
For example, the viewing areas of surveillance positions can be filmed and given to the forces in the home country. This enables the new forces to be prepared and trained for their tasks with all the special features.

Soldiers train in the home country with original pictorial material the use in the target country.
