Virtual Soldier • Back to Menu

Virtual soldier uses a unique infrared training system (originally designed for the Army) allowing platoons to get their first taste of combat. Guests instructed by our current and ex seriving military personnel will be put through their paces in this fun, high tech simulation.

The day often begins with guests going through a S.W.A.T. team vehicle checkpoint on arrival at the activity location. After an event safety brief and short training period platoons and their tactical advisors will then enter the virtual battleground and undertake a series of true-life scenarios amidst the ‘fog of war’ - created by the use of theatrical pyrotechnics!

The SA80 style rifle fires an invisible (and safe) beam to a range of nearly 50 metres, that hits sensors in the opposition forces’ helmets, setting off an alarm and downloading any ammunition held in the weapon, thus rendering them a ‘casualty’. The laser beams are ‘bullet like’ in that they can penetrate light foliage – so chose your position carefully!

Reporting back to the medical station, casualties will be electronically re-activated and sent back into action. An electronic ‘ammo-dump’ will enable the recruits to reload their rifles as many times as necessary.

To finish the day platoons combine to undertake virtual soldier finale which will be run as a full-blown manoeuvre with “Op’s brief’ as well as the very serious activity of camo’ing up, concealment, section fire and movement tactics. Following the final Battle, the teams are dismissed by the sergeant major and are free to depart at leisure.

Team clothing consisting of DPM coveralls, lightweight helmet and 58 pattern webbing rig for each guest.

The virtual soldier programme can be a half day or full day event and is suitable for 16 – 100 guests for corporate events, and team building.
