Foam Target

These foam dummies, nicknamed “Pistol Bob”, are used to simulate where a real passenger may be in aircraft seats. They are also used in marksmanship training with different dummies representing a threat and others bystanders. Hand-to-hand tactics are practiced on different dummies made of hard plastic or rubber. This training dummy was used for training by Federal Air Marshals from the Washington D.C. Field Office beginning in 2002.
