MILO training systems, in use worldwide since 2004, aid law enforcement officers, first responders, and military personnel in firearms training and use-of-force scenarios. Over time, the system has evolved to encompass training in de-escalation techniques for students in various academic fields, including healthcare, education, social work, and counseling. Keiser University is currently installing MILO M-SATS units at all its Florida campuses, following an appropriation in the 2022-23 Florida budget.
