Intro: Physical live-fire structures are the foundation of realistic training, but not every scenario can or should be run with live ammunition every time. Amidon's START program - Simulated Tactical Arms Readiness Training - adds a simulation layer on top of the physical facility, rather than treating simulation and live fire as separate, disconnected tools.

Simulation Built Around the Real Structure

START is designed to work within Amidon's actual training facilities rather than as a standalone simulator room, so the simulated scenario and the physical space a unit trains in are the same environment, not two different ones.

Repetition Without the Cost of Every Rep Being Live

Simulation lets a unit run a scenario more times, with more variation, than would be practical with live ammunition for every repetition - while the physical structure itself stays available for the live-fire training it's built for.

One More Piece of the System

Like the rest of Amidon's product line, START isn't a separate business - it's an extension of the same training-facility approach, adding a capability that complements the physical ABC structures rather than replacing them.
