Tactical injury simulating training device

Abstract

An electrically actuated tactical training device for simulating trauma/injury to a selected region of a tactical operator/trainee's body, such as the torso or an extremity, during a training exercise. The tactical training device delivers a tetany inducing stimulus to a selected muscle group, such as in an extremity or in the torso of a trainee thereby simulating a tactical injury to the stimulated muscle group.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A tactical training system for providing a noxious stimulus for the purpose of simulating a tactical injury to a selected portion of a trainee's body, said tactical training system comprising:
 a selectively actuated device adapted to be worn by a tactical operator for delivering a noxious, stimulus to a selected portion of the tactical operator's body thereby rendering the stimulated extremity ineffective for simulating a tactical injury; and   an operator control unit in communication with said selectively actuated device for actuating said selectively actuated electronic device.   
     
     
         2 . The tactical training system of  claim 1  wherein said operator control panel is in wireless communication with said selectively actuated electronic device. 
     
     
         3 . The tactical training system of  claim 1  wherein said stimuli is tetany-inducing. 
     
     
         4 . The tactical training system of  claim 3  wherein said tetany-inducing stimuli is electrical. 
     
     
         5 . The tactical training system of  claim 1  wherein said operator control unit is in wired electrical communication with said device for delivering a noxious stimulus to the tactical operator. 
     
     
         6 . The tactical training system of  claim 1  wherein said operator control unit is in wireless radio frequency communication with said device for delivering a noxious stimulus to the tactical operator. 
     
     
         7 . The tactical training system of  claim 6  wherein said operator control panel is a multi-channel radio frequency device adapted to selectively and independently communicate with a plurality of said selectively actuated devices. 
     
     
         8 . The tactical training system of  claim 1  wherein the selectively actuated device is attached to an extremity of the tactical operator's body. 
     
     
         9 . The tactical training system of  claim 1  wherein the selectively actuated device is removably secured directly to a portion of the tactical operator's body by means of an adhesive. 
     
     
         10 . The tactical training system of  claim 1  wherein the selectively actuated device is carried by a fabric band adapted to be worn by the tactical operator. 
     
     
         11 . A tactical training system for providing a noxious stimulus for the purpose of simulating a tactical injury to a selected portion of a trainee's body, said tactical training system comprising:
 a selectively actuated device adapted to be affixed to a tactical operator for delivering a noxious, stimulus to a selected portion of the tactical operator's body wherein said stimuli is tetany-inducing thereby rendering the stimulated extremity ineffective for simulating a tactical injury; and   an operator control unit in communication with said selectively actuated device for actuating said selectively actuated electronic device.   
     
     
         12 . The tactical training system of  claim 11  wherein said operator control unit is in wired electrical communication with said device for delivering a noxious stimulus to the tactical operator. 
     
     
         13 . The tactical training system of  claim 11  wherein said operator control unit is in wireless radio frequency communication with said device for delivering a noxious stimulus to the tactical operator. 
     
     
         14 . The tactical training system of  claim 11  wherein said tetany-inducing stimuli is electrical. 
     
     
         15 . The tactical training system of  claim 11  wherein said operator control unit is a multi-channel radio frequency device adapted to selectively and independently communicate with a plurality of said selectively actuated devices. 
     
     
         16 . The tactical training system of  claim 11  wherein the selectively actuated device is attached to an extremity of the tactical operator's body. 
     
     
         17 . A tactical training system for providing a noxious stimulus for the purpose of simulating a tactical injury to a selected portion of a trainee's body, said tactical training system comprising:
 a selectively actuated device adapted to be affixed to a tactical operator for delivering a noxious, stimulus to a selected portion of the tactical operator's body wherein said stimuli is tetany-inducing thereby rendering the stimulated extremity ineffective for simulating a tactical injury; and   an operator control unit in communication with said selectively actuated device for actuating said selectively actuated electronic device wherein said operator control unit is a multi-channel radio frequency device adapted to selectively and independently communicate with a plurality of said selectively actuated devices.   
     
     
         18 . The tactical training system of  claim 17  wherein said means for attaching said selectively actuated device to a selected portion of the tactical operator's body is defined by a fabric compression band adapted to be worn about a selected extremity. 
     
     
         19 . The tactical training system of  claim 17  wherein said tetany-inducing stimuli is electrical. 
     
     
         20 . The tactical training system of  claim 17  wherein the selectively actuated device is attached to an extremity of the tactical operator's body.
