Company

Company overview

VirTra helps police officers and military personnel practice defusing confrontations, deciding when to use force and handling firearms in simulated situations. These are its main customer groups, though it also serves commercial customers. Its systems combine scenario software, training content and devices such as simulated-recoil weapons to let users rehearse their responses.

Customers pay for simulators and related software and accessories, as well as installation, training and ongoing support. V-VICTA supplies accredited coursework and simulator scenarios. Agencies can buy equipment or use the STEP subscription program to access simulators, accessories and coursework.

Most revenue comes from contracts directly or indirectly with U.S. and foreign government agencies, so sales depend heavily on public funding for discretionary training equipment and on government purchasing decisions. Exporting certain products, technical data and services—particularly military versions and defense services—requires U.S. government licenses, often for each transaction.
