About MILO

MILO is a world-leading provider of interactive simulation training, curriculum, range design, and equipment. We are widely regarded as the nation’s fastest-growing manufacturer of best-in-class firearms and use-of-force training systems. Since 1994, our award-winning MILO product line has been continuously selected as the de-facto training simulator for all branches of law enforcement, military, security, and public safety agencies throughout the United States and the world.

In 2020 Shooting Range Industries, “SRI” joined the MILO Live division. A premier provider of live-fire shooting range solutions and equipment, specializing in the design and manufacturing of modular shooting ranges that are available as self-contained, single containers, Ready Range systems, or fully configurable multi-container solutions for wide-open layouts with custom lane widths.

 

MILO—What does it stand for?

When we first designed and released the MILO simulator systems in 2004, it was unique because for the first time you could use one computer-based system to accomplish several training tasks in the same location at once including classroom-based lessons,  instructional presentations, interactive-individual and group testing, and scoring, physical hands-on firearms and use of force training exercises and scenarios. This multiple training and testing capability lead to the acronym MILO.

Multiple Interactive Learning Objectives

The MILO acronym, first just used as a simple internal product development placeholder name became so widely used and popular among our customers and professional trainers that we generally use that now for the default product and company name.  In fact, it is so widely known now that any kind of simulation training done for judgmental training and the application of the use of force in a simulator has become known as “MILO training.”

 

MILO History

For almost two decades, MILO has been proud to serve thousands of public safety and military agencies of all sizes and disciplines in over forty nations. Our main goal is to provide the highest levels of customer support and service to all our current and future customers and to continually improve and expand our product’s capabilities and quality while providing a superior immersive training environment to the men and women who rely on our systems to prepare for the challenges they face now and into the future.
