MILO Range Training Systems, a unit of Arotech Corporation’s
[NasdaqGM: ARTX] Training and Simulation Division, announced that
it has received new awards totaling $1.6M from the U.S. Pacific Air
Forces (PACAF). The orders procure MILO Range Theater 180 systems
to train U.S. Air Force Security Forces at locations within the
Pacific region. The awards from Defenses Logistics Agency, through
ADS, Inc., are scheduled to be delivered prior to the end of 2018
and include extended product support through 2023.
MILO Range Theater 180 systems provide an
immersive training environment with enhanced field of view allowing
trainees to practice proper tactics to respond to numerous threats
from multiple directions. U.S. Air Force Security Forces are
responsible for missile security, defending air bases around the
globe, law enforcement on those bases, combat arms, and handling
military working dogs. All aspects of the Security Forces mission
are able to be trained using the MILO Range systems. PACAF is one
of nine U.S. Air Force major commands and the air component of U.S.
Pacific Command. The command has approximately 46,000 military and
civilian personnel serving in nine strategic locations and numerous
smaller facilities, primarily in Hawaii, Alaska, Japan, Guam and
the Republic of Korea.
“We are very pleased the U.S. Pacific Air Forces
has selected the MILO Range Theater systems to maintain the
readiness of their security forces. Once customers have a chance to
see the MILO Range systems and evaluate them vs. other offerings,
the choice is clear. Our training content is unmatched and
our reliability and support capabilities continue to lead the
industry,” said Robert McCue, MILO Range General Manager. “It is a
tremendous honor knowing that the PACAF Security Forces will be
using our system’s extensive set of features to train their
personnel, increase tactical proficiency, rejuvenate the
defender, and help fulfill their mission to protect those who
protect our nation.”
