Arotech’s IES Taser Courseware to be Featured at the 2004 Taser Tactical Conference in Las Vegas

Miami Police Head of Training will speak on Taser training experience

April 14, 2004 - Arotech Corporation (NasdaqNM: ARTX) announced today that the courseware developed for the Taser less-lethal weapon will be featured at the Taser Tactical Conference, April 17 & 18, 2004, in Las Vegas, NV. Sgt. Richard Gentry, head of training for the Miami Police Department, will present the exclusive Taser training course developed by Arotech’s use-of-force training subsidiary, IES Interactive Training, Inc. in cooperation with Taser International.

IES Interactive has been invited by Taser International to demonstrate Taser training on the Range 3000 use-of-force simulator at the conference. The system features the patent pending exclusive Taser laser weapon, which uses two laser beams for a realistic simulation of the two Taser probes.

“We purchased two IES laser Taser weapons for our IES Range 3000 simulator”, said Sgt. Richard Gentry, Head of Training for Miami PD. “During 2003, the Miami Police Department made history with not a single officer involved shooting, which is credited to the training and the less-than lethal weapons we have”.

The IES 4-hour fully interactive course for the Range 3000 simulator introduces the basic skills and knowledge needed to carry the most advanced less lethal tool for law enforcement today. It is designed to enhance the delivery of the Taser International Basic User Course taught around the world by Taser International Master Instructors. At the conclusion of the Taser International M26 User Course the trainee will know and understand the functionality, nomenclature, and maintenance of the Advanced Taser M26. IES is currently expanding the successful partnership with Taser to produce the new X-26 Interactive user course in conjunction with Taser to be released this summer.

“We are proud to have been the first to develop interactive training tools for Taser,” said Robert S. Ehrlich, Arotech’s Chairman, President and CEO. “The Taser is gaining acceptance, and our training course is an important element in officer training for this less lethal weapon.”
