KASOTC and PepperBall® Announce Strategic Partnership to Establish Customized Non-Lethal Training Course for Police, Military & Security Forces
AMMAN, Jordan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The King Abdullah II Special Operations Training Center (KASOTC) is the premier training center in the Middle East for police, military, and special operations. In KASOTC’s continuous vision and mission to be at the forefront of integrating training and technology within the region and the world, it is pleased to announce that it has strategically partnered with PepperBall® to create a customized non-lethal training course for the police, military and security forces worldwide. PepperBall®, a division of United Tactical Systems, LLC, is the world’s leader in non-lethal .68 OC and CS systems.
The KASOTC Non-Lethal PepperBall® course consists of a three day weapons, tactics and armorers’ training course. The course features training on the most advanced pneumatic launchers, including PepperBall’s VKS (Variable Kinetic System). The VKS launcher is unique in that its velocity can be adjusted to shoot projectiles from 280fps to 400fps, a single system that can be used for multiple missions. It also offers the ability to fire PepperBall’s round projectiles, as well as its VXR shaped projectiles™, which doubles the system’s accurate effective distance.
“We are truly honored to have the PepperBall® System at the world class facility of KASOTC and to be working together to deliver customized non-lethal training courses to address the increased regional demand for tactical non-lethal solutions for police, military, and special operations,” said Glenn L. Katz, Executive Vice President of Global Sales at PepperBall®. “With the increasing amount of civil unrest around the world, KASOTC’s combination of world class facilities and elite instructor and support staff make it an ideal facility for training on non-lethal tactics and equipment.”
