TECHNOLOGY

Haptech Defense Systems’ core technology, the Electromagnetic Recoil System (ERS) was developed for military simulation. First patented in 2012, this technology harnesses the power of three motor types to provide force feedback, enabling an exceptional degree of customization and control. Powering both surrogate weapons and drop-in kit systems, this solution is adaptable to fit new or well-worn weaponry, will perform longer with less maintenance than standard pneumatic systems and is cost-effective and scalable to any weapon form factor. 

Haptech Defense Systems is now poised to redefine virtual weapons training for the U.S. Military and provide significant advancements in warfighter training at national and international levels.
