Abstract

The Officer Under Fire Perpetrator is a remote-controlled, moving, target human-like in appearance and movements and is comprised of two major components referred to as the base unit and the target body. The base unit houses all components, consisting of a chassis plate (moved by: four electric motor/wheel assemblies) housed within an armor box providing protection from bullets. This system provides live-video footage to assist human trainer, remote-control operation, in addition to post-training review as shootout scenarios unfold. An electronic sighting system is displayed on live video, ensuring the training weapon'"'"'s accuracy while shooting training projectiles at trainees. Equipped with a moving target body arm, the human-appearing target body is capable of withstanding numerous bullet hits and mounts into the base unit. This allows for a simulated firearms range shootout between the O.U.F. Perpetrator firing training projectiles, as a trainee is firing bullets upon the target'"'"'s body.
