NAR K9
Barks. Bleeds. Breathes. Five interchangeable limb configurations. The NAR K-9 Medical Simulator is a full-body canine simulator built for MWD handlers, canine first responders and veterinary technicians who need realistic, repeatable training across a complete range of injury presentations.
Built For The
Full Range Of
K9 Casualties.
The NAR K-9 Medical Simulator is a wireless, instructor-controlled canine simulator designed for Military Working Dog handlers, canine first responders and veterinary technicians. Five interchangeable limbs with distinct injury presentations — complete amputation, open fracture, soft tissue injuries, road rash/burns, penetrating injury and evisceration — allow instructors to vary wound patterns without changing platforms.
It barks, whines, bleeds and breathes. A 1-litre onboard blood capacity and a welded steel frame with solid metal joints make it a serious training tool built to perform in exactly the environments your program demands.
What The
NAR K9
Trains.
The NAR K9 covers the core canine casualty care interventions your team needs to perform — from haemorrhage control and airway management through to CPR and intraosseous access. Wireless instructor control means real-time scenario adjustment without breaking the training scenario. Specific capabilities listed below.
Active bleeding from multiple sites with instructor-controlled rates. Supports wound packing, tourniquet application and junctional wound management. 1L onboard blood capacity for extended scenario runs without resupply.
Life-like airway supports canine-specific airway management including intubation and airway adjunct insertion. The simulator barks, whines and breathes — audio and respiratory cues provide realistic patient feedback throughout the scenario.
Four IO training sites across the platform — train the full range of IO insertion techniques on a single canine simulator. Critical for MWD handlers who need to deliver fluids rapidly when IV access is unavailable in the field.
Full CPR capability — realistic chest compression resistance on a platform that replicates canine anatomy. Train cardiac arrest response and resuscitation without the risk of injuring a live animal or compromising training quality with low-fidelity alternatives.
Full platform control via the NAR Simulation Instructor Tablet. Modify bleeding rate, breathing, audio and intervention feedback in real time — without breaking the training scenario. Instructors retain full authority over scenario progression and patient presentation throughout.
A welded steel frame with solid metal joints and an expanded joint range of motion. Built for austere field conditions — the same operational environments your MWD handlers are deployed into. Realistic enough to train with, tough enough to last.
Canine hyperthermia is a leading cause of MWD casualties in field operations. The NAR K9 supports hyperthermia recognition and treatment training — a capability that is often absent from lower-fidelity canine task trainers.
A wearable wound vest system carries the interchangeable limb set — allowing instructors to change casualty presentations rapidly between scenario iterations without resetting the entire platform. Five limb configurations, one simulator, unlimited scenarios.
The NAR K9 ships with five interchangeable limb options, each presenting a distinct injury pattern. Swap between configurations between scenario iterations to vary the casualty presentation without changing platforms — expanding your training library without expanding your equipment list.
Traumatic limb amputation — train haemorrhage control, tourniquet application and stump management on a realistic canine presentation.
Compound fracture with exposed bone — realistic soft tissue damage and wound presentation for stabilisation and splinting training.
Laceration, contusion and soft tissue wound presentations — covers the most common injury patterns encountered in MWD operational casualty care.
Abrasion and burn injury presentation — train assessment, wound management and pain response in a realistic canine casualty scenario.
Penetrating wound with evisceration — trains complex wound management and packing in the most demanding casualty presentations your team will face.
The Right
K9 Trainer
For Your
Program.
MWD handler training programs vary significantly in scope, scenario complexity and operational focus. Our simulation team will work with you to determine whether the NAR K9 is the right fit — and how it integrates alongside your human casualty simulators and environmental platforms. Enquire to start the conversation.
Tell us about your MWD program — handler experience levels, casualty types you're training for, and how canine simulation integrates with your broader tactical medical program. We'll map the right K9 platform to your needs.
With five interchangeable limb configurations and wireless instructor control, we'll help you build a scenario library that covers your full casualty profile — from single-handler training through to multi-team MWD exercises.
TacMed's after-sale support covers consumables, maintenance and program development. Whether you're running initial handler certification or continuing competency training, we keep your K9 platform operational.
