GLADIATOR body equipment is based on sensors which detect laser shot hits and trigger corresponding vibration, light, and sound effects. Hit lethality is determined according to the hit zone, projectile caliber, protection systems and health state. The equipment also features simulated deterioration of health condition without prompt treatment, according to the “platinum 5 minutes” rule.

GLADIATOR Body Equipment is sturdy, lightweight, ergonomic, and adaptable to any tactical equipment, allowing trainees to shoot, move, and communicate naturally during the training.

GLADIATOR Weapon Equipment replicates the handling, effects, and operational range of real weapons. The use of international laser code standards enables interoperability with corresponding equipment from other manufacturers to conduct interagency exercises.

GLADIATOR Weapon Equipment is suitable for training in open and built-up terrain, and is also available for explosive ordnance (e.g. hand grenades and IEDs), and support, vehicle-mounted and anti-tank weapons.

GLADIATOR Building Equipment supports the most demanding training scenarios in built-up terrain. Cameras and infrared beacons track the progression of participants, even where there is no GPS signal. Laser sensors simulate hits to infrastructure and collateral damage. Effect indication units generate light, sound, and smoke effects.

The modular GLADIATOR Building Equipment range allows you to match instrumentation to your desired level of fidelity, and the equipment can be quickly mounted and dismounted, providing you maximum flexibility to train in a variety of locations.

GLADIATOR Vehicle Equipment includes a range of sensors and effect indication units, linked to a control unit. The system identifies and locates vehicle hits, optionally using two-way laser technology to accurately replicate weapon ballistics. It assesses direct and collateral damage, and triggers corresponding external and internal visual and sound effects. The control unit monitors and communicates crew and vehicle status, including equipment breakdown, allowing occupants to act under realistic limitations.

The modular GLADIATOR Vehicle Equipment range can be used with any vehicle type and allows you to match instrumentation to your desired level of fidelity.

GLADIATOR Supervision Equipment allows instructors to plan, conduct, control, monitor, record, replay, debrief and evaluate live force-on-force training.

Throughout the exercise, the software tracks the position and status of participants and equipment in real-time, providing instructors with full situational awareness and allowing them to influence the exercise on the fly.

After action reviews are supported by a full range of playback features, views, stats, graphs, and map overlays, thus maximizing the learning potential of each exercise.
