Scope of Work

A confidential client in Abu Dhabi required a fully integrated modular firing range to support immersive training operations, including both live fire and judgmental simulation scenarios.

Execution

Specialist Services, part of Centurion’s Middle East & North Africa region, designed, manufactured, installed, and commissioned a 2-lane x 15m Modular Firing Range (MFR) composed of two CSC-certified modules. The range delivered 360° ballistic containment with a zero surface and vertical danger zone (SDZ/VDZ), using 12mm SSAB Hardox AR500 steel plates combined with BSW Regupol E43 rubber tiles to prevent ricochet and backsplash. 

A granulated rubber bullet trap was installed at the downrange end, using a 60cm layer of angled rubber granules to safely decelerate and capture projectiles. Each lane featured an overhead retrievable target system capable of programmable movement, lighting effects, and scenario-based stop points. 



The Air-Conditioning and Mechanical Ventilation (ACMV) system ensured clean air delivery with laminar airflow and a three-stage filtration system (MERV 6, MERV 14, and HEPA 99.97% at 0.3 micron filters) to prevent the release of airborne toxins generated during firing exercises. 

Outcome

The Modular Firing Range was delivered and commissioned on time in November 2019, meeting all client specifications for safety, mobility, and performance.

The solution provides a zero surface danger zone and supports dynamic training requirements with minimal environmental impact. This project highlights Specialist Services’ ability to deliver advanced modular defence infrastructure tailored to mission-specific training needs in high-security environments.
