ARLINGTON, Texas, Sept 27, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- VirTra Systems, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VTSI) today announced a purchase order for an IVR 4G- 300(TM) immersive combat readiness training simulator from the Army Research Laboratory (ARL).

The ARL, responsible for research and development of technologies supporting U.S. Army troops, chose the IVR 4G-300 for vital research studying behavioral and cognitive function of soldiers during combat. ARL is the first research organization to purchase a VirTra Systems simulator for research purposes.

"Our research examines soldiers' cognitive, physiological, and behavioral responses while they perform operations in various combat scenarios," commented Dr. Scott Kerick, Army Research Lab's principal investigator assigned to the Cognitive Sciences Branch. "VirTra Systems' IVR simulators provide a powerful research tool allowing us to simulate incredibly realistic combat situations, and to examine physiological and behavioral responses time- locked to specific events."

"The ARL's selection of the IVR(TM) immersive combat readiness training simulator is proof-positive of the intense realism and versatility of our simulators," commented Michael Kitchen, VirTra Systems' executive vice- president.
