The Tactical Firearms Engagement System is designed from a purely new approach focusing on tactical human factors. It is also designed to be trained from inside a training facility. Tactical Human Factor Capabilities and Limitations: This module discusses the human factor science, which examines the capabilities and limitations of human physiology. The block of instruction discusses perceptual processing, visual processing capabilities between zero and ten feet, and the time needed to process a threat starting from the visual stages, through the Pre-frontal Cortex to the Gross Muscles. This phase of training will address an officer’s draw-stroke’s limitations and capabilities, as well as training personnel to reduce the draw-stroke on an average of Assailant Micro and Macro Cues: This module teaches the psychological and physiology of Assailant Micro & Macro Cues. This module examines the brain’s neurological timelines through the physiological timelines of a draw stroke. This module breaks down assailant draw-strokes of 0.37 seconds and the officer/agent’s draw-stroke. This block advances the students recognition of a threat much earlier than traditional firearms classes, by examining an assailant’s draw-stroke components in quarter second increments. Evasion Step: Previous research has demonstrated the average officer/agent’s draw stroke is 1.4 seconds (+). Exceptionally fast officer draw-strokes is 0.5 seconds, putting the officer/agent always behind the assailant’s attack. The PPCT / Human Factor Science research team worked with physiologists and chronometer specialist determining the best way to move and evade an assailant’s 0.37 second attack. Through the chronometer technology, our team discovered a step/upper body evasion technique that has a movement time under 0.1 seconds. This technique is taught using the Huddle mobile chrono tech loaded to a cell phone. Tactical Draw-Stroke: The PPCT tactical draw-stroke has an evolution dating back to 1945. This technique is trained as a serial motor skill that stacks muscle movement. Once trained, most officer/agents can draw and fire their weapon from the holster within 0.5 seconds. Many officer/agents will be able to reduce their draw stroke to 0.45 seconds. Tactical Target Engagement: For almost 100 years, the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has ruled law enforcement personnel are approved to engage threats to stop and control a suspect that is an immediate threat to officers, civilians and others. Subject to these rulings law enforcement agencies have engaged engaging the center mass of a threat. And while engaging center mass (heart, thoracic) zones are fatal, these engagements are not always quick in controlling/stopping a deadly force threat. In fact, the FBI has stated engaging center mass could takes seconds to over a minute to stop the heart.
