T.R.A.C.E is the software behind every force-on-force exercise — it records what actually happened, so instructors can compare performance across sessions instead of relying on memory. It runs a continuous training loop: map the site, run the exercise, capture the data, analyse the outcome, learn what to fix — and design the next scenario around it.
Every data point Arctic Arms captures depends on one thing: the physical experience of the exercise being authentic. That is why the platform is built on a state-of-the-art weapon system and a patented precision projectile, engineered from the ground up for combat-realistic training.
Weight, balance, handling, trigger break, sight picture and recoil profile are tuned to match live-fire equivalents. Soldiers train with what feels indistinguishable from their service weapon — because behaviour under stress is only reproducible when the tool in the operator's hands is.
Arctic Arms' patented projectile architecture delivers 10 cm groupings at 52 meters — a level of accuracy that lets force-on-force training extend beyond close-quarters engagements into realistic operational distances. Visible marking, no brass, no powder, no HEPA remediation.
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 can compare performance across sessions instead of relying on memory. It runs a continuous training loop: map the site, run the exercise, capture the data, analyse the outcome, learn what to fix — and design the next scenario around it.
Turn any real facility into a training-ready digital model in hours.
Ports, air bases, energy plants, hospitals, industrial sites, 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.
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, corridors, entry points, threat vectors, critical assets and evacuation routes are all annotated on the model — turning it into the operational foundation for planning, execution and objective analysis.
Every action, every second, captured in real time.
During the exercise, T.R.A.C.E fuses data from every relevant channel — position, weapon orientation, line of sight, hit events, physiological load, instructor markers — into a single time-synchronised operational picture. Nothing is reconstructed from memory; everything is recorded.
From subjective debrief to objective evidence.
After the exercise, T.R.A.C.E synchronises all captured data into a single dashboard. Instructors and commanders can replay every second of the engagement, examine movement patterns, quantify exposure and engagement outcomes, and validate what actually happened — not just what people remember happening.
Turning complex data into actionable advantage.
Thousands of data points from mapping, sensors and mission context feed a purpose-built AI engine that identifies patterns humans can't reliably see: recurring failure modes, capability gaps, and priority-ranked recommendations for the next cycle. Because every exercise is measured the same way, defensibility becomes a number you can track over time — 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 the exercise design at every other site before that threat is ever encountered there — training scenarios built on what has actually happened, not on assumption.
Fed into a NATO battle-management or C4ISR system, the same dataset becomes a forecast. When a site with no benchmark of its own comes under real threat, allied forces can draw on the accumulated hyper-realistic exercise data from comparable sites to see how the engagement is likely to unfold — and plan logistics, troop posture and evacuation around that forecast, before a shot is fired.
The loop closes. The next exercise is smarter than the last.
Based on the analysis, T.R.A.C.E generates tailored training recommendations and optimised scenario proposals. Weak spots become focused drills. Broken patterns become measurable improvement targets. The next exercise is designed around what the last one actually revealed — not around what someone assumed needed practising.
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.
Arctic Arms is not built for shooting ranges. It is built for the places we actually need to defend — mapped, trained on, measured.
Arctic Arms is a Swedish defence-technology company building the operating system for measurable national defence readiness. Headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden.
The platform is developed in partnership with Swedish and allied defence users. Our work sits at the intersection of civil resilience, dual-use technology, and behavioural intelligence for the sites Europe must be able to defend.
