MAD Range Robot

Description

MAD ROBOT is a radio-controlled, battery-powered, mini-ATV that can carry a variety of target systems. It is portable, easy to use and ballistic resistant for live fire training.

Overview

Your adversary moves in three dimensions, but you've been training in two. It's time to get real, with MAD ROBOT. Unlike pop-up or paper targets, MAD ROBOT simulates human movement. So you can tailor your training to fit your specific needs, on the range - and off. Tactical situations, live firearms training; use-of-force decision making. By utilizing MAD ROBOT to make sudden and unpredictable movements in realistic training scenarios, the officer can effectively learn to replace the "startle" reaction with a timely and appropriate response. Standard pop-up and tracked targets cannot simulate the unpredictable movements of a real suspect the way MAD ROBOT can.

MAD ROBOT can eliminate the officer's natural urge to "charge" an armed suspect on the initial encounter. When an officer "charges" an armed suspect, the officer essentially precludes all cover fire and physical support from the other team members. This can be especially dangerous if the officer's weapon malfunctions, or worse, the officer is shot.

Integrating MAD ROBOT into controlled, realistic, and repeatable scenarios teaches officers to overcome the urge to "charge" in the safety of a training environment. Once again, MAD ROBOT can simulate a suspect in a manner that no other conventional training target can.

MAD ROBOT builds officers' skills and confidence with their actual duty weapon system and equipment when operating under stress. MAD ROBOT comes closest to an actual use-of-deadly-force encounter, with all the stress, noise, movement and confusion involved in live fire. No other target system or video-based simulator even comes close.
