Optional: Eye-tracking hardware, live actor integration.

SCOPE:
The 460th SFS will utilize the VR training system to complete mandated monthly/quarterly and yearly training. This VR training system will comprise four complete systems, each including two VR headsets with swappable batteries and a four-bay charging bank. Included are software licenses for headset operation, law enforcement/tactical training software supporting simultaneous users, after-action review and scenario sketching modules, along with software support, device management, and online training resources. Each system will also include two CO2-operated non-lethal training rifles (M4/AR-15 style) and pistols (Sig Sauer M18 style) with magazines, accompanying weapon tracking systems, CO2 cartridges and refill capability, airsoft-capable training weapon options, two X26 TASER training CEWs, two OC spray trainers, and two ASP baton trainers.
