DART Range
Practice critical skills in a limitless variety of realistic digital environments.
Courseware
Load and run any of the pre-made courses that come with the system, optional courses developed by our training staff, or create your own using DART Creator or DART Studio.
Practice
Quickly generate practice courses with your choice of target, distance, shot count, and time limit to allow officers to benefit from short training sessions without the need for a system administrator.
Review
DART Range provides a detailed after-action review after each course and practice session showing the impact, score, and timing of each and every shot.
Trace
Track the movement of a pistol or rifle (optional) during all phases of a shot: acquisition, aim, trigger pull, and follow through. Once a shot is made, the shooter’s aim point can be replayed in real-time, which can be used to analyze shooting performance.
Run courses developed in DART Creator and Studio
Extremely simple calibration – even in a lighted room
Pass/fail grade based on total score or percentage of hits
Fast and accurate shot detection
Run quick practice sessions with adjustable rules
Trace your aim through all phases of a shot
DART Creator
Develop and customize your own qualification courses to meet your department’s exact training objectives.
Targets
DART includes more than 100 targets, and you can create your own. Each can have up to eight hit zones, and each zone can be assigned a unique point value and sound that will play when hit.
Movement
One drawback of targets on a live range is that they are generally static. Targets in DART Creator can travel at any speed and in any direction.
Behaviors
Affect the outcome of a course based on criteria you assign. For example, a target can change from a non-threat to a threat over time using an intuitive point-and-click interface.
Rules
DART courses are made up of one or more stages – each with its own rules and requirements. Control timing, ammunition, mandatory hit zones, minimum score, and more.

DART Studio
Enhanced courseware creation software with 3D characters, environments, and video.
Features
DART Studio is used to create an expanded variety of courses and decision-making scenarios that go well beyond qualification courses. Studio adds options for 3D props, realistic human characters, and video sequences.
TruTargets
A breakthrough in simulation training, TruTargets are 3D people that move and react realistically within the simulation. Infinitely more flexible than video, TruTargets can move and change without human intervention. Learn more about TruTargets here.
Video Sequences
Interactive 3D graphics offer many advantages over video-based systems, but video can offer a high level of realism. DART offers the best of both worlds by supporting video sequences while retaining the advantages of a 3D world.
3D Environments
People interact and take advantage of entrances, exits, and cover. These structures are referred to as props in DART and can be easily added, removed, and moved around the scene with the mouse in real-time.
Everything in DART Creator, plus…
Set bullet penetration for each prop
Visible Weapon
Augment live-fire instruction by familiarizing students with the mechanics of a working pistol.
Using realistic 3D graphics and interactive animation, the Visible Weapon communicates information visually in a way that improves comprehension and understanding.
With our innovative parts explorer, individual parts can be visible, hidden, or rendered in X-ray mode. This allows users to customize their view in a variety of ways that reveal the inner mechanics of the GLOCK 19 in a way impossible to do in the real world.
The cycle of operations shows the precise movement of each part during the firing, ejecting, and reloading sequences. Hide and isolate any part – or group of parts – during the animation sequence, allowing for an unprecedented understanding of the mechanics behind the weapon.
The DART Visible Weapon can even be run without a DART system using a Windows computer.
