American Defense Systems, Inc. Unveils T2 and Tactical Institute.

HICKSVILLE, N.Y. -- American Defense Systems, Inc. (ADSI), a leader in the design, fabrication, and installation of cutting-edge protection solutions for the Department of Defense, the Department of State, and Homeland Security and Law Enforcement agencies, proudly opened the American Institute for Defense and Tactical Studies. The American Institute for Defense and Tactical Studies is a center of excellence designed to provide those who defend, serve and protect us with the knowledge and skill sets needed to survive the dangers encountered domestically in the war on crime and the threats faced overseas in the Global War on Terror. The American Institute for Defense and Tactical Studies hosts courses and seminars taught by the world's preeminent subject matter experts in the fields of Counterterrorism, Fundamentalist Islam and Middle Eastern Mindset, Dignitary Protection, IED Terrorist Tradecraft, Emergency Tactical Medicine, Post Suicide-Bombing Command and Incident Response, Forensics, and Hand-to-Hand Combat. These specialists, many of whom are former operators and unit commanders, bring their knowledge and combat experience to today's frontline law enforcement officers, military war fighters and tactical professionals.

The centerpiece of the American Institute for Defense and Tactical Studies is the T2 Live-Fire Interactive Tactical Training System. T2 provides law enforcement officers, SWAT team members, tactical specialists and military operators with the opportunity to hone their firearms and combat skills -- with their own weapons and ammunition-- in conjunction with realistic video scenarios broadcast on a large life-like screen. T2, in service with some of the world's top-tier counterterrorist and Special Forces units, consists of three primary components--the patented shoot screen and bullet-trap, which allows shooters to fire ammunition (9mm, .38, .357, 10mm, .40 caliber S&W, .44 Magnum, 5.56mm, 7.62mm, and .308) at scenarios broadcast from a control room; an infrared sensor that determines where the fired shots actually hit; and, state-of-the-art software that allows the end-user to effortlessly produce their own real-life scenarios.

The institute's philosophy, like that of ADSI, is to connect outside-the-box thinking and state-of-the-art technology to produce innovative solutions to the most challenging of tactical threats. "This company has always been about saving lives and producing technology that accomplishes this mission," ADSI CEO and President Anthony J. Piscitelli explained. "Whether its crew protection kits used by war fighters to something like T2, in which we are creating a new training environment to make sure that tactical professionals come home safely to their families after walking a beat or serving overseas, our goal to protect and serve those who defend, serve, and protect us, remains sacrosanct."

High-ranking officials from a multitude of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, as well as branches of the military, attended the facilities grand opening which included a live-fire interactive display of the system's capabilities.
