pmcimagazine.com “We started AttackSense after recognising that no system existed that provided reactive training targets which could monitor shooter performance and function in a representative environment. With our experience gained from the drone industry we developed a reliable wireless target system that could operate in any environment, with the levels of robustness needed to provide long service life in the harsh use case targets find themselves in. It was critical to us that the system would operate using a tablet computer, to provide the level of detail we wanted to track shooter performance over time and to support future proofing, something our customer enjoy with frequent updates supporting new features and shooter tracking. As the system grows and our user base increases, we’re currently re-investing 100% of our revenues back into the product. This is allowing us to innovate with R&D in software to improve the features and use cases we support, and in hardware with different target designs for new environments as well as companion units for start / stop indication, movement sensing, flow control and improved immersion. Close engagement with our customers is allowing us to improve the product and find new directions to move in all the time, it’s an extremely exciting time for us as it is for the industry in general.” 48 Updates and system durability/longevity improvements are already being introduced thanks to that oh-so-importanmt user feedback, and I have every confidence that the team behind these targets aren’t resting on their laurels and they’ve already intimated that there is quite a lot more to come in the future. I’ll be using the AttackSense system for personal training and also as a testbed for new 6mm training weapons that we see coming onto the market; this is 100% a focus for the PMCI team at both SHOT and IWA 2020and I look forward to reporting back further in due course! If you’re amongst “the enlightened” who see 6mm training as an extremely useful tool in your box then rest assured you’ll find the very latest news here in PMCI, and we’ll be working with AttackSense closely as we develop and champion this.
