The system uses laser emitters that attach to weapons, as well as on-body sensors, to replicate combat scenarios and record data for after-action reviews.

It uses six distinct weapon-firing systems, as well as lasers and microelectronics, to realistically simulate the firing of direct-fire weapons, including rifles and machine guns.

Primarily used for force-on-force training from squad up to brigade level, the system requires less time to attach a small arms transmitter and align a weapon than its predecessors.
