- Body and Helmet Harness. Body and Helmet Harness should be fitted with communication elements, sensors, GPS module and control unit. It should be ergonomically designed and adjustable to fit all sizes comfortably.
- Laser Unit (LU). Primary purpose of laser unit should be to provide simulated ammunition through laser code generation. LU will be fitted at the muzzle end of barrel to fire a laser beam in lieu of actual ammunition.
- Sensor Unit (SU). Primary purpose of sensor unit should be to detect and decode simulated ammunition laser code received from laser unit of another weapons. SU(s) will be fitted on to body and helmet harness of the trainee. They will have laser sensors to sense incoming laser fire from any directions to indicate hits.
