The

Advantage

ADVANTAGE 1 -
STRESS INOCULATION TRAINING
True Stress Inoculation Training requires an incremental exposure to a stressor. Since non lethal training ammunition has a consistent mass and velocity, the pain penalty is not adjustable. The StressVest™ has an adjustable pain penalty that allows the instructor to set the penalty to the appropriate level of the student being trained.

ADVANTAGE 2 -
GREATER SAFETY & REALISM
Since the StressVest™ system utilizes eye safe lasers and no projectiles, it allows a safety template never before seen in force on force training. Training does not require special protective equipment and there is no longer a fear of unprotected individuals entering the training area.
No facial protection allows for the ability to read facial expressions and hear clearly.

ADVANTAGE 3 -
CENTER MASS REWARD SYSTEM
One of the most common complaints from firearms instructors conducting force on force training is that students are rewarded regardless of their shot placement. The StressVest™ only activates when hit in the upper torso region. Video taped training will show shot placement and response times outside of center mass. Additional panels for the side of the body can be purchased.

ADVANTAGE 4 -
COST SAVINGS
There are several kits available for use with the StressVest™. This includes dry fire conversion kits, dedicated dry fire training pistols and blank fire kits. See StressVest's firearm options. No additional costs are incurred for protective equipment, non lethal training rounds or extra safety personnel. For more information see the StressVest™ Cost Benefit Analysis.

ADVANTAGE 5 -
NO DAMAGE OR CLEAN UP
The StressVest™ system allows for training in the actual environment that law enforcement and military conduct their business without worry of damage or messy clean up.

ADVANTAGE 6 -
REALISTIC SHOOTING DISTANCES
The accuracy and distance using lasers is a ballistic match to the issued ammunition. This includes the ability to shoot through windows or windshields.

ADVANTAGE 7 -
VARIOUS TRAINING MODES
The patent pending software based controller allows for several modes:

• Stress Exposure Mode
  The level of shock can be preset for each individual student. This allows the instructor to vary the pain penalty based on the student’s current ability to handle stress.
• Move to Cover Mode
  Each successive hit will result in an increase in pain penalty. This will force the student to move during the fire fight.
  Watch a video of the Move to Cover Mode in action.
• Injured Officer Mode
  After the student is hit, they will continue to receive a random pain penalty for the rest of the scenario. This teaches students proper mindset for winning encounters.

• Role Player Mode
  Delivers a vibration instead of pain penalty. The StressVest™ can be set to activate only after a specified number of hits occur.

ADVANTAGE 8 -
INJURED LIMB TRAINING
One of the most difficult situations to replicate in training is an injury to the students’ dominant arm. The StressVest™ shock delivery system can be placed on any of the extremities to create pain to the specified area.
