ISR Matrix originated in Florida USA. I.S.R (Intercept, Stabilize, and Resolve) is the guiding philosophy
behind the system. An officer's primary objective is to safely and efficiently intercede, control, and
resolve a situation regardless of the level of resistance he or she encounters from verbal on through to
deadly force. A uniform yet dynamic system, the I.S.R. Matrix allows for rapid escalation and de-
escalation of force within every response level as it relates to the resistance level being encountered. It
completely enables and empowers officers with the guidelines and means to handle any situation
while using the minimum appropriate levels of force to overcome resistance as it transpires and
evolves. As a working matrix of interconnected or interwoven options it exists as a highly efficient,
uniform, and very adaptable system of Defensive Tactics. It functions as a complimentary network of
training approaches, working concepts, and highly effective techniques that are readily accessible
within the legal framework or use of force guidelines currently in use by law enforcement agencies
internationally. ISR Matrix has provided ongoing training for the US Defence Departments OSI Anti-
Terrorism Speciality Team and is the preferred Defensive Tactics program of various other Police and
Military units. www.isrmatrixaustralia.com and www.isrmatrix.org
ISR Matrix Subject Control:
The ISR Matrix Subject Control is the core common element of all ISR Matrix programs, civilian Physical
Management (PM), Law Enforcement (LE) and Armed Forces (AF). It is designed primarily for unarmed
personnel working in environments that require subject control, restraint, and transportation such as
executive protection, hospital orderlies, security guards, bouncers etc. From individual to team tactics,
the system is designed to be taught directly to the specific needs of the security guard, team, institution
or business requiring the training.
ISR Matrix LE
The ISR Matrix Law Enforcement (LE) is designed for the patrol officer first and foremost as a complete
defensive tactics system that can easily and readily be integrated with existing SOP and use of force
continuums as needed or required. From presence on through to the use of deadly force, it grants
officers the ability to adapt and escalate and/or de-escalate in direct proportion to subject(s) resistance
levels. It builds on the unarmed subject control material and includes weapon retention, team tactics,
vehicle extractions and may introduce transitions between use of force options.

frontwrap, spin and screen, Torque turns, the principles of collapsing defenders, drop and defend and
more. The course of instruction will include basic and progressive motor skill and tactics drilling,

Pro-Com Consulting
Adaptive Tactical Communication
Pro-Com Consulting designs, develops and delivers purpose built communications programs to
Government and corporate clients. Projects include the development and roll-out of a new
communications package for the Australian Customs Service nationally and more recently developing
crisis negotiation capability for specialist groups within Australian law enforcement agencies. Pro-
Com does not advertise and relies only upon good reputation and word within the law enforcement,
military and private sectors from those exposed to the program.
This session provides an insight into the Adaptive Communication process and the many
communication and negotiation strategies and techniques employed. ‘Adaptive Communication’ uses
a system known as ‘REAL’ and teaches officers to talk naturally whilst thinking tactically, to develop their
own style delivered within a set of professional communication boundaries and based on the elements
of Adaptability, awareness, strategy and delivery. It provides a consistency of approach and caters to
everything from PR and traffic stops through to hostage negotiation. This session will begin with the
history of negotiation in Australia, principles of negotiation and factors influencing use of force. A
number of theory elements will be discussed and this session will also feature various role plays,
practical exercises and live coaching.
Theory elements will include SSR/BAR and communication, communications aim, safety, systems and
maintenance, perception, emotion versus content, the REAL concept, essential dialogue, elements of
effective communication - adaptability, awareness, strategy, delivery; sentence structure.
Communication boundaries, communication behaviours, suicide intervention and hostage survival will
also be introduced, along with methods of applying the system and putting it all together.
AusTac Australian Tactical Training Consultants -
Introduction to Tactical Firearms
This class will involve extensive coaching through dry drilling, live fire and simmunition evolutions.
Students are required to supply or purchase 500 rounds of ball ammunition and 250 rounds of Simmuntion FX Marking
Cartidges. It is preferred that you bring your own handgun. Should this not be possible, a number of Glock 17's, 22's
and H&K USP's are available.
Simply stated, our Mission is to provide armed professionals with the highest-quality realistic &
operationally specific training possible - to enable you to prevail in high-risk environments.
Even though our training and simmunition methodology is unique our operational doctrine is not
specifically "ours"; it is however a synthesis of what is in the environment, revealed through many years
of intense training and actual operations.
As a result our courses development has been based on years of experience, feedback and real world
missions. As such our training will continue to evolve and change over time as we interact with those
that go in harms way and find more efficient ways of training and operating in response to changing
mission requirements or criminal trends. This module will introduce Behavioural Training Concepts in
tactical weaponcraft and utilise both marking rounds and live fire evolutions. AusTac believe that
conducting training that is simply a check the box or attendance only style is futile, unproductive and
dangerous, (we leave that style of training to your employer). We prefer to offer courses that are a wise
investment for the serious operator wishing to increase proficiency and the probability of prevailing in a
real world, high risk environment in which adversaries think, move and shoot back.
As such AusTac courses feature a very demanding “Force-on-Force training” approach. Reasons for
this include the following:
• Allows the participant to train classroom taught principles and techniques in an operationally
specific manner.
• Allows the participant to test that what they have been trained in previously will be successful in a
realistic simulation of a realistic engagement(s)
• Allows the participant to operate, perform and effectively manage critical skills necessary to
succeed while the “Sympathetic Nervous System” is activated.
• Allows the participant to test new equipment, technology, strategies, principles, tactics and
techniques in a variety of environments with diverse environments and adversaries.
• To acclimatize the sub-conscious to the stresses of realistic engagements and to ingrain within
the sub-conscious conditioned stimulus and conditioned response.
