IMAGE: 190613-N-PO203-0259 CHESAPEAKE, Virginia (Jun. 13, 2019) A Sailor assigned to the Center for Security Forces detachment in Chesapeake, Va., demonstrate the Office of Naval Research Global (ONRG) TechSolutions-sponsored Tactically Reconfigurable Artificial Combat Enhanced Reality (TRACER) system. TechSolutions partnered with Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division to develop the TRACER package, which consists of a virtual-reality headset, a backpack, a state-of-the-art simulated weapon designed to deliver realistic recoil, and a software package that creates multiple and adaptable simulation scenarios for security personnel to experience. ONRG TechSolutions allows Sailors and Marines to submit technology requests directly to the development community for rapid response prototyping. (U.S. Navy photo by John F. Williams)
