MILO Range Training Systems receives new orders
Arotech's MILO Range Training Systems has received new awards totalling $2.5 million from the US Air Force (USAF).
The ordered systems include the MILO Range Theater 300, MILO Theater 180 and MILO Range Advanced systems. The systems will be used to train air force security forces personnel at locations within the USAF Global Strike Command (AFGSC), as well as a number of other individual security units around the globe.
The AFGSC is responsible for the US’ three intercontinental ballistic missile wings, the air force’s entire bomber force, nuclear command, control and communications systems, and operational and maintenance support to organisations within the nuclear enterprise.
Robert McCue, general manager, MILO Range, said: ‘The systems and their on-board training content were scientifically designed to increase tactical proficiency, reconstitute the defender, and greatly assist readiness in the mission to protect the personnel and equipment of the USAF. Our theatre systems are the benchmark in the industry for fully immersive and interactive scenarios.'
The training equipment is scheduled to be delivered in early 2019 and the company will provide extended product support through 2024.
