Implementation of an innovative interactive 3D multimedia cave for perfecting the procedures of using the weapons and direct enforcement means, and checking the persons, vehicles and goods, shall improve the qualifications of the border guard officers in conditions similar to realistic ones. The virtual interactive centre for perfecting professional skills is aimed to train the officers on a wide range of situations starting from operational planning, depending on the encountered and changeable situation including also terroristic incidents, and throughout the decision making at operational conditions relevant to the Border Guard tasks, the use of shooting skills and means of direct enforcement, and ending on providing the first aid and teaching the preparation of reports. It is important that a decision made by a trainee at a specific moment of scenario could trigger a following stage of an evolving situation or its termination. It is assumed that the course of an exercise may be recorded and replayed to make a detailed analysis of actions undertaken by trainees, and to discuss faults, and to find out correct solutions for critical situations.
