VK Integrated Systems brings the ultimate tracking and mapping technologies to multiple ranges across the United States to showcase action sport shooting events to the masses. 

Through use of the Team Awareness Kit (TAK), VK Integrated Systems outfits multiple ranges such as the Sawmill Tactical Training Center in South Carolina and Cedar Creek Precision, Kentucky by providing the ability to track competitors across the course of fire and live stream all shooting events to multiple media platforms. 

TAK will allow competitors’ locations to be tracked across the course of fire (often over 5km long) for local and online audiences to view their favorite shooters during live events. This platform offers livestream video feed, shot tracking, and continually updated leaderboards. 

VK Integrated Systems’ technology uses TAK across its network system to relay data and location tracking to a centralized server where it can be broadcast across multiple media platforms. This network includes devices connected to all steel targets to confirm hits at distance, weapons buttstocks (SIOS-C) that display the weapons orientation, shot counts, and shot cones of fire on target. Along with live feed displays from drones, fixed camera positions, and mobile devices across the course of fire.

According to VK Integrated, through use of TAK, event hosts are able to bring modern action shooting sports to the limelight other sporting events are afforded.
