RECOMMENDED ACTION:
PURCHASE OF ELECTRONIC
TARGET SYSTEM
Staff recommends Council adopt Resolution No. 73/'( 3 ,
authorizing and directing the Purchasing Officer to make a sole
source purchase of a Duelatron Electronic Target System.
ITEM EXPLANATION
On November 8, 1983, Council appropriated $65,000 for a police
fl:..-ing range. The range was to include an electronic target system
that will be used for situational training as well as for normal
target training.
The Police Department has selected a Duelatron 1510 Electronic
Target System as the unit that ls most suitable for their training
needs. Since this is a proprietary product of the Advanced
Training Systems, it is ner ~ssary for the City Council to dispense
with the bidding procedures, in accordance with Section 3.28.090(3)
of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, and negotiate for the purchase of
the system.
FISCAL IMPACT
The funds for the Electronic Target System are available in the
Police Firing Range Account, 30-18-10-3159. The estimated cost of
the target system is $25,000.

DUELATRON ELECTRONIC TARGET SYSTEM: ADVANCED TRAINING SYSTEMS AS SOLE SOURCE
Based upon our research and analysis of range-adaptable moving target systems,
we have ascertained that the DUELATRON Electronic Target System is unique in
design and manufacture, with Advanced Training Systems being the sole source
for this system in the United States.
The DUELATRON Electronic Target System is the only portable electronic target
system in the country, and is an exclusive, proprietary product of ATS. It
should also be noted that the RangeCOMputer we are purchasing, (1500 series)
is a specific product within the DUELATRON product line, and is the only
product available that has the capacity to store up to 40 courses of fire in-
ternally. No other competitors were located who could match the versatility
or the multi-faceted training benefits observed with this product.
The RangeCOMputer in the 1500 series comes complete with either manual control
or automatic progra~ming, each with precision timing. One to fifteen movable
targets may be programmed with 1,200 combat targats and 1,200 target overlays
additionally provided. Ihe DUELATRON system, the combat targets, and the
QUIKchange Overlays are registered trademarks of Advanced Training Systems. ATS,
again, is the sole source for the only full size, full color combat targets and
ov<:1rlays which provide 36 different friend/ foe combinations.
As you may be aware, our research also included a demonstration of the system
at our department earlier this year. This demonstration, coupled with our
research, revealed that the DUELATRON system should b~ of significant benefit
to our training program and can certainly help us in eliminating any adverse
legal/liability issues associated with firearms training. ATS will also provide
free instruction to our personnel in the operation and maintenance of the DUELA-
TRON system, at our convenience. Please feel free to attend. Thanks!

The DUELATRON System features the most unique target ~
turner developed in America. The DECISIONMAKER
Target Turner is a rugged, but extremely portable, target
turner which can present BOTH SIDES of a target on the
SAME target turner. The shooter must instantly decide
whether TO SHOOT or NOT SHOOT depending on the
target figure presented. In addition, the bi-directional
(friend-foe) electronic target turner can be eas\ly converted
in-minutes, to become a portable popUP or a swingOUT
target, using the SAME drive unit and electronic controls.
For further versatility, thi> DECISION MAKER can!.;.~-
erated either as a WIRELESS target or via cable fr'-.,._
central console. No other target built in America can match
the DECISIONMAKER tor portability, durability, change-
ability or versatility. With the DECISIONMAKER, virtually
ANY firearms course ls possible.
