CombatFX - Combat Special Effects

CombatFX designs, builds, supplies, manufactures and operates combat special effects (CSFX). The effective and realistic pyrotechnic and non-pyrotechnic services CombatFX offers enable a totally immersive training experience, providing the warfighter with the enhanced capability of experiencing a fully-interactive real time and real-life battlefield environment.

Combat special effects for live training exercises

Live training when combined with virtual technologies provides front-line operators, warfighters, law enforcement agencies and security personnel with the ability to hone their skills and make split-second judgement calls in a surrounding tactical environment tailored to specific mission parameters.

This allows mission planners and trainers to set up realistic and viable combat training scenarios for areas previously deemed too difficult to replicate rapidly, accurately and economically.

Special effects for authentic physical, psychological and emotional combat experience

Using combat special effects tests warfighters to a high standard prior to entering a live theater, further preparing them for the impact of their first firefight. It's as close as training can get to recreating the physical, psychological, emotional and tactical experience of a battlefield environment.
