PR Newswire - October 25, 2006 08:16

HOUSTON, Oct 25, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- VirTra Systems, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VTSI). Major General Perry V. Dalby (USA-Retired), VirTra Systems' chief executive officer, today announced sale of an IVR(R) 4G- 180 firearms training simulator to Raytheon Missile Systems.

The simulator order includes handgun training conversion kits, flashlight simulation software, a trainee recording system (TMaR(TM)) allowing real-time monitoring, recording, and playback of a trainee's performance during debriefings, and TASER(R) and OC chemical spray training accessories. The system is scheduled for near-term installation.

"Raytheon's role as a prime defense contractor requires a security force of well-trained professionals to protect critical corporate and defense customer assets," commented Ed Miller, Raytheon's assistant chief of plant security. "We found the IVR simulator a perfect fit for our officers' ongoing marksmanship and use-of-force training programs, and with its 180-degree threat capability, will more effectively train our organization regardless of time-of-day or weather conditions."

Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN), with 2005 sales of $21.9 billion, is an industry leader in defense and government electronics, space, information technology, technical services, and business and special mission aircraft.

"We are pleased that Raytheon has become our first private-sector customer," commented Michael Kitchen, VirTra Systems' executive vice- president. "VirTra Systems' IVR small arms training simulators are well- suited for training security personnel to effectively protect our nation's critical defense industry installations. Our IVR 360-degree capable immersive small arms training simulators come in both law enforcement and military versions at competitive pricing that can meet any budget."
