Defence
readiness.
Measured.

Arctic Arms makes it possible to train and measure defence readiness on the site that actually has to be held: ports, air bases, energy plants, classified facilities, the places a shooting range can never replicate. I.M.P.A.C.T.™ is the hyper-realistic training platform and high-performance projectile that make the hit real. T.R.A.C.E.™ records and measures what happened. A.D.D.™ builds the next exercise around the weaknesses the last one exposed.

SCROLL
MISSION
1,000+ critical sites in Sweden alone.
No objective measure of readiness at any of them.
That's what we're changing.

Arctic Arms is not built for shooting ranges. It is built for the places we actually need to defend: mapped, trained on, measured.

THE WEAPON AND PROJECTILE THAT MAKE A HIT REAL

I.M.P.A.C.T.™

Integrated Marking Platform for Advanced Combat Training

I.M.P.A.C.T.™ is the hyper-realistic weapon and projectile platform T.R.A.C.E.™ runs on: a 1:1 training weapon and a patented caseless marking round, built to work as one. Extreme accuracy out to 100 metres, driven by compressed air instead of gunpowder, so a felt hit reaches real engagement distance without a firing permit, a danger area or a converted service weapon.

01

Weapon Platform

A modular training platform in 1:1 AR15 format, powered by HPA or CO₂.

The duty weapon is never converted, replaced or worn. With no gunpowder and no cartridge case the platform falls outside most firearms rules, which removes permit work, secure storage, danger areas and range bookings.

  • 1:1 AR15 format: true weight, balance, controls and magazine changes
  • Duty weapon untouched: no conversion kit, no bolt or barrel change, optics keep their zero
  • 500 to 650 fps: adjustable, 30-round magazine
  • Standard rails: existing optics, lights and handguards fit directly
  • Licence-free: no firearms licence required in most jurisdictions

02

Projectiles

A patented .50 cal caseless marking round, engineered for the I.M.P.A.C.T.™ platform.

Compressed air holds accuracy out to 100 metres, against roughly 30 metres for legacy powder rounds. Every hit is felt and leaves a visible mark on the body, so the exercise is scored objectively and medics treat a real marked wound rather than a called one. Six marking colours keep opposing forces, teams and phases separable in the after-action review.

  • Up to 100 m: effective range, against roughly 30 m for legacy powder rounds
  • 5 to 10 cm group: at 70 to 80 m
  • Six marking colours: opposing forces, teams and phases stay separable
  • Licence-free: not classified as ammunition in most jurisdictions
  • No brass, no lead: nothing to collect or remediate on site
  • Patent protected: EP granted
THE SENSORS AND ANALYSIS THAT EXPLAIN IT

T.R.A.C.E.™

Tactical Real-time Analysis & Combat Evaluation

T.R.A.C.E.™ is the software behind every force-on-force exercise. It records what actually happened, so instructors compare performance across sessions instead of relying on memory, and it runs a continuous loop: map the site, run the exercise, capture the data, analyse the outcome, design the next scenario around it.

01

Mapping & Scanning

Turn any real facility into a training-ready digital model in hours.

Ports, air bases, energy plants, hospitals, forward operating bases: anywhere the operator will actually need to fight. LiDAR, UAV survey, 360° imagery and existing floorplans are fused into a single high-fidelity 3D foundation.

  • LiDAR scan: high-resolution 3D capture
  • UAV drones: rapid data capture of large or hard-to-reach areas
  • 360° imagery: panoramic mapping for complete context

02

The Digital Twin

An interactive 3D model of the actual facility, layered with tactical intelligence.

The mapped site becomes a digital twin that carries meaning, not just geometry: rooms, entry points, threat vectors, critical assets and evacuation routes, all annotated on the model.

  • Rooms & structure: walls, doors, stairs, corridors
  • Threat vectors: high-risk areas and rehearsal engagement
  • Critical assets: key equipment and infrastructure to protect
  • Evacuation & safety: routes and safe locations

03

Sensors & Data Collection

Every action, every second, captured in real time.

During the exercise, T.R.A.C.E.™ fuses every relevant channel into a single time-synchronised picture: position, weapon orientation, line of sight, hit events and physiological load. One training leader cannot follow 30 individuals at once, and giving each of them direct feedback in the moment is impossible. Every participant is therefore tracked objectively in real time, so nothing is reconstructed from memory or from what the training leader assumed happened. That record is what the analysis and after-action review are built on.

  • Positioning: real-time location of each participant indoors and outdoors
  • Weapon & movement: orientation, dynamics and engagement status
  • Line of sight: live field-of-view and sector coverage
  • Stress & load: vitals and cognitive load indicators

04

Analysis & After Action Review

From subjective debrief to objective evidence.

After the exercise, T.R.A.C.E.™ synchronises all captured data into one dashboard. Instructors replay every second of the engagement, quantify exposure and engagement outcomes, and validate what actually happened, not what people remember happening.

  • Event timeline: replay and examine key events in sequence
  • Engagements: analyse contacts, fires and outcomes
  • Movement heatmaps: visualise patterns, hotspots and areas of interest
  • Performance metrics: individual and team KPIs with comparisons

THE AI THAT TURNS IT INTO THE NEXT EXERCISE

A.D.D.™

AI-Driven Debrief

A.D.D.™ is the AI layer built into T.R.A.C.E.™. A traditional after-action review describes what happened. This one reconstructs why, writes the debrief for the training leader, and turns every weakness it finds into the next exercise.

05

AI-Driven Insight

Turning complex data into actionable advantage.

Thousands of data points from mapping, sensors and mission context feed a purpose-built AI engine that finds patterns humans cannot reliably see: recurring failure modes, capability gaps and priority-ranked recommendations. Because every exercise is measured the same way, a site scoring 30% in month one and 70% in month twelve is not an impression, it is a benchmark.

That measurement compounds across the network. A threat pattern surfaced at one port sharpens exercise design at every other site before that threat is ever encountered there.

Fed into a NATO battle-management or C4ISR system, the same dataset becomes a forecast. A site with no benchmark of its own can be planned against comparable sites: how the engagement is likely to unfold, and where logistics, troop posture and evacuation should sit.

  • Objective & consistent: remove bias, standardise evaluation across units
  • Evidence-based: recommendations backed by data, not assumptions
  • Cross-site pattern transfer: threats found at one location sharpen training at every other
  • BMS / C4ISR-ready: structured for direct integration into allied command and battle-management systems

06

Tailored Training

The loop closes. The next exercise is smarter than the last.

Based on the analysis, A.D.D.™ generates tailored training recommendations and optimised scenario proposals. Weak spots become focused drills, and the next exercise is designed around what the last one actually revealed, not around what someone assumed needed practising.

  • Analyse results: review performance data and outcomes
  • Identify gaps: detect weaknesses and capability gaps
  • AI recommendations: actionable training insights
  • Optimise scenarios: refine training to close gaps

BEYOND TRAINING

Our data is not a training record. It is a predictive engine. Fed into any NATO battle-management or C4ISR system, it tells commanders how a specific site will likely be defended, how the battle will unfold, and where the gaps will be, before a single shot is fired.
