TEMPE, Ariz., April 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VirTra, Inc. (Nasdaq:VTSI), a global provider of training simulators for the law enforcement, military, educational and commercial markets, today announced the company has received a new purchase order for its training simulators under the previously announced indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with the United States Department of State (DOS). The new order is valued at approximately $1.25 million and is expected to be delivered in the third quarter of 2018.
The DOS is expected to donate the training simulators to the Ukraine and Mexico in support of U.S. Foreign Assistance programs. The simulators are anticipated to be used in basic and advanced weapons training for developing proficiency in marksmanship, use of force judgment skills, close quarters shooting skills and other related skills which law enforcement personnel face in the execution of their duties.
“With this order, VirTra expands its presence into the Ukraine, expanding our international presence and furthering our relationship with the Department of State,” said Jason Mulcahy, general manager of VirTra. “VirTra simulation training is one of the best ways to prepare law enforcement officers for the high stress encounters they can face in their daily work. We are pleased to provide our systems to the Department of State in support of our foreign allies.”
