Law Enforcement Technology-Cover

In the August 2018 issue of Law Enforcement Technology, we grabbed the cover with an article on Less Lethal Weapon Integration for police and corrections. The piece discusses selection, implementation Continue Reading →

UAV for Force Investigators

At the Fall 2018 SIFR meeting in Henderson, Leica Geosystems and Holmans USA assisted us with our presentation to demonstrate for the group how to utilize terrestrial scanning and drones Continue Reading →

Pepperball VKS vs. FN303

These two 68 caliber pneumatic less lethal launchers (FN303, Pepperball VKS) are making a surge in the market. We shot some telling high speed video with impacts into a human Continue Reading →

Trajectory Reconstruction

Use of mannequins and 3D modeling to estimate bullet path can more accurately describe a shooting event

Long Range Shootings

Experience in long range ballistics and range design

Critical Angle Project

During a recent shooting incident reconstruction class instructed by Forensic Science Consultants, we had some time after hours to perform preliminary research on our critical angle project. We found that Continue Reading →

Tissue Simulants, Human Analogs

Use of traditional 10% ballistic gelatin, Clear Ballistics, and MBM (ballistic soap) for comparison and prediction of bullet behavior in the body.

Product Testing

Evaluate less lethal products using a variety of testing protocols including ballistic gelatin, high speed photography and doppler radar technology. The results are used to educate end users and assist Continue Reading →
