The New Gold Standard in Reality-Based Training.
Accuracy Under Fire (AUFIRE) is a groundbreaking haptic training system that realistically simulates debilitating injuries and limb incapacitation through precise, instructor-controlled muscle contractions. By introducing real consequences into dynamic force-on-force training, AUFIRE enhances decision-making, improves return-fire accuracy, and develops the mental resilience required to fight through injury and adversity. The result is more capable, confident warriors who are better prepared to survive, adapt, and prevail when lives are on the line.
Traditional force-on-force training teaches tactics. AUFIRE teaches performance under consequences.
Force-on-force training without consequences is like weightlifting without weights.

Current Training Limitations
Elite police and military units—including SWAT teams and Navy SEALs—often simulate injuries using outdated methods such as taping a hand closed, restricting movement with straps, or simply telling trainees to “pretend” they are wounded. While these techniques limit mobility, they fail to replicate the mental and physical burdens of sudden, intense, distracting effects of an actual debilitating injury.
AUFIRE changes that.
AUFIRE is the only training system that realistically simulates the immediate, involuntary, and unpredictable loss of function associated with a serious wound. Through targeted muscle contractions, trainees experience the mental shock, distraction, and physical impairment that occur when a body part suddenly becomes difficult—or impossible to use or control.
More importantly, AUFIRE prepares trainees for the mental battle of being wounded. It forces them to adapt, problem-solve, refocus, and overcome adversity while continuing to assess and neutralize threats. We call this “Distraction by Contraction®.”
By exposing trainees to these realistic stressors in training, AUFIRE builds confidence, resilience, and decision-making under pressure—giving them valuable time to think clearly, respond effectively, and prevail when it matters most.
The Solution
Using Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) technology—the same technology commonly used in physical therapy and rehabilitation clinics—AUFIRE can safely incapacitate targeted muscle groups, causing a trainee’s arm, hand, or other body part to involuntarily lock up or lose function. The system delivers a low-level electrical stimulus of approximately 66 volts and just 0.5 milliamps, producing powerful muscle contractions while remaining within the safe operating range of clinical-grade stimulation devices.
This realistic impairment replicates the physical limitations, mental distraction, and loss of function associated with a serious wound. Trainees learn to adapt, problem-solve, and continue fighting through stress and adversity in dynamic, realistic force-on-force scenarios.
By exposing trainees to these challenges in a controlled training environment, AUFIRE builds confidence, resilience, and performance under pressure—ultimately increasing the likelihood of survivability and mission success when faced with real-world injury.
Instructors have complete control over the timing, duration, and location of each simulated injury. Using the AUFIRE remote, they can activate a single muscle group or any combination of muscle groups at will, creating realistic and unpredictable injury scenarios tailored to specific training objectives.
When activated, the targeted muscle groups immediately contract and remain functionally impaired for as long as the instructor holds the corresponding button(s) on the remote. This allows the instructor to dynamically introduce, maintain, escalate, or remove simulated injuries in real time as the scenario unfolds. The moment the button is released, the muscle contractions cease, and the trainee immediately regains normal control and function of the affected area.
This instructor-controlled capability enables highly realistic, unscripted training scenarios that force trainees to rapidly adapt to changing conditions, overcome physical limitations, and continue making sound decisions under pressure—just as they would in a real-world critical incident.
NEVER USE A.U.FIRE WITH LIVE FIRE AMMUNITION OR FLASHBANGS, as arm muscle contractions can cause unintentional trigger finger contractions or involuntary gripping. Only use A.U.FIRE with training-marking ammunition or airsoft, and always use proper safety equipment.
Testimonials
Jason McGlawn Training Division, Searcy Police Department
“AUFIRE is an amazing tool. AUFIRE provides realism that allows our officers the opportunity to prepare for the worst before it happens. One of our officers learned while using AUFIRE that he could not reach his tourniquet with his off-hand. In a real-life scenario, this could have cost him his life. AUFIRE is an invaluable asset to our department.”
Benjamin Scholl State Mandated Program Coordinator, Hawkeye Community College
"Accuracy Under Fire (AUFIRE) added a critical stress component to our training, significantly improving decision-making and return-fire accuracy under pressure for our officers. This tool sets a high standard for facing the intense mental and physical challenges of real-life combat while engaged in training scenarios."
The Georgia Public Safety Training Center
"The Georgia Public Safety Training Center is committed to providing law enforcement officers with top-tier training. Through realistic scenario-based training, our goal is to ensure the first time an officer experiences a stress-inducing incident occurs in a safe, controlled training environment, instead of on the street where the outcome is rapidly evolving and unpredictable. We will introduce the AUFIRE Training System to provide our students with increased realism by making our scenario-based training more immersive and dynamic. AUFIRE will allow us to take training to a new level of realism, helping us give law enforcement officers every chance at success and survival, a critical part of our mission."
