V-Armed

V-Armed develops immersive virtual reality training systems for law enforcement, military personnel and emergency first responders. Established in 2016 within Animated Storyboards, the company adapted motion capture, 3D graphics and spatial tracking techniques from animation production to practical tactical simulation. Its business is based in New York City, with engineering operations in Tel Aviv.

The company's platforms place multiple participants in shared virtual environments where they can practise communication, threat identification, tactical movement and de-escalation. Wireless headsets, full-body tracking and replicated duty equipment allow trainees to move through physical training spaces while interacting with simulated people, obstacles and incidents. Supported peripherals include sidearms, long guns, TASER devices and pepper spray, giving instructors several force options to incorporate into exercises.

Training systems and scenario development

V-Armed supplies complete training installations and a portable system for mobile deployment. Its work spans custom simulation software, 3D environments, avatar development, scenario scripting and branching logic. The company also supports installation, hardware calibration, maintenance and instructor training, connecting software development with the practical requirements of operating a training facility.

The proprietary DISPATCH suite lets instructors create, edit and store scenarios tailored to agency policies and training standards. Its 3D After-Action Review system records exercises for playback from multiple viewpoints, helping instructors examine decisions and discuss participant performance after a session. Together, scenario authoring and recorded review support exercises that agencies can adapt to their own operational needs.

Public safety and military applications

Reported deployments include active-shooter training for the NYPD, work with Louisiana State University's National Center for Biomedical Research and Training, and a POST-certified virtual reality curriculum used by the Los Angeles Police Department. V-Armed has also supplied a tactical training installation for Antwerp Police Department and undertaken a U.S. Air Force Small Business Innovation Research project.

These applications combine individual judgment exercises with coordinated team training, using configurable virtual situations to rehearse incidents that would be difficult to reproduce consistently in conventional training environments.
