A fast changing shoot house — called the reconfigurable armored tactical personnel and collective or RATPAC — has been crafted for close combat training for military and law enforcement personnel.
Fabricated by AMEC of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., the structure can be quickly altered to “keep training fresh and meet virtually any scenario,” a company spokesman explains. It can be equipped with pop-up targets, closed circuit TV, breaching walls and doors, ventilation, variable lighting and special effects.
Mechanical and electrical controls can be controlled by training instructors through handheld remotes.
