What MILO does
MILO operates as a division of FAAC Incorporated (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the publicly traded Arotech, NASDAQ: ARTC), providing shooting ranges, range equipment, steel targets, and virtual training systems. Its business spans two complementary product families: MILO Live, which delivers live-fire shooting range systems, modular range technology, bullet containment (Bullet Bank, Bullet Traps), ceiling baffles, shooting stalls, and the PULSAR target retrieval system; and MILO Virtual, a portfolio of simulation-based training platforms including MILO VR, Theater, Pro, Advanced, Classic, M-SATS®, Shoothouse, Driving Force, MMT, and CBTSim, marketed primarily to law enforcement agencies, military organizations, and commercial range owners, with additional mission-specific solutions for healthcare security, campus safety, and probation/parole officers.
The company is the original innovator of "true modular range systems" as an alternative to fixed ranges, and claims the distinction of being the first range-equipment manufacturer with an in-house HVAC capability. All fabrication is performed in-house using certified specialty metals, supporting an installed base described as 5,000+ HVAC systems and 350+ range systems globally. The product architecture combines hardware (range components, simulators, HVAC) with software-driven scenario content produced in-house via MILO Studios.
MILO's revenue model is a mix of hardware sales (range equipment, simulators, steel targets), professional services (custom range design, HVAC installation), and recurring aftermarket elements (warranty, product training). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is primarily direct enterprise field sales with dedicated range specialists working with government and institutional buyers globally, supplemented by an Amazon storefront for MILO Live steel targets reaching individual consumers and smaller operators. Operational facilities are based in Las Vegas, NV, with the parent FAAC headquartered in Ann Arbor, MI.

Product overview
MILO, a division of FAAC Incorporated, offers a comprehensive platform of shooting range equipment, live-fire training systems, and simulation-based training solutions. The portfolio consists of two primary categories: (1) MILO Live — physical live-fire shooting ranges and equipment including custom ranges, Ready Range® modular systems, bullet containment (Bullet Bank, Bullet Traps), ceiling baffles, shooting stalls, and PULSAR target retrieval systems; and (2) MILO Virtual — simulation training systems including VR, Theater, Pro, Advanced, Classic, M-SATS®, Shoothouse, Live Fire, Driving Force, MMT, and CBTSim for cognitive training. These solutions serve law enforcement agencies (with offerings for active shooter, de-escalation, implicit bias, use-of-force, firearms, crisis intervention, and duty-to-intervene training), military organizations (marksmanship, live-fire, counter-UAS, crew-served weapons), and mission-specific sectors including campus safety, healthcare security, and probation/parole. MILO also provides steel targets available through Amazon for professional, competition, and recreational use.
