Our Specialisation

Starburst engineers various modern firearms-training facilities. We want to reduce risks which may be faced by our clients’ right from the start, and we believe a solid foundation is required for everything which we do. Therefore, we have placed a heavy emphasis on the designs of our facilities so that occupational and environmental risks are designed out from the earliest stages to reduce hazards in the construction and installation phases of the project.

We have our own in-house engineering design team which specialises in firing ranges, close quarter battle houses, tactical training mock-ups, and other training facilities. Holistic quality management and design audits are carried out by accredited assessors as an extension of our commitment to safety. Starburst has achieved the following international certifications to this cause:

ISO 9001:2008 Certification ISO 18001: 2007 Certification

Training Facilities Design

The strength of our services is founded upon our proprietary line of ballistic protection technology manufactured in-house under our stringent quality and safety controls.

SEARLSTM

Starburst has developed its own line of SEARLSTM anti-ricochet panels. SEARLSTM panels are fire-retardant, non-toxic, odorless, and durable; they are structurally resilient and can absorb up to 10,000 rounds per m2 for shredded rubber panels and 4,000 rounds per m2 for starboard panels, without suffering significant degradation.

SEARLSTM Anti-Ricochet Shredded Rubber PanelsSEARLSTM proprietary anti-ricochet shredded rubber panels are designed and manufactured to be easily fitted to new and existing shooting ranges (indoor and outdoor), to provide a fire-retardant and non-slip sur face which is extensively tested to meet both acoustic and anti-ricochet requirements.

SEARLSTM Interlocking Rubber PaversStarburst’s proprietary rubber pavers, made from recycled shredded rubber, are structurally resilient with extra shock absorption and excellent wear resistance. They are thermal insulating and have acoustic/vibration dampening properties.

Anti-ricochet Lining Products

Starboard Anti-Ricochet PanelsThe Starboard anti-ricochet panel is made from cellulose plastic material that allows for a flat-even surface which is easily cleaned by sweeping, vacuuming or by washing. When used as anti-ricochet flooring, these panels can be coated with resinous polyutrethane compounds to provide a seamless surface. The Starboard panels have been extensively tested to comply with Range Safety Regulations and international standards.

SEARLSTM Reconfigurable, Movable, Multi-Directional Bullet-Resistant Partition SystemsThe SEARLSTM partition systems are a fully reconfigurable and movable ballistic partition system that have been tested in accordance with international standards and proven to comply with Range Safety Regulations for use in close quarters training partition ranges.

They can absorb and contain splash-back of projectiles of calibers up to 7.62mm. They come with retractable bottom stoppers to keep spent ammunition within. They can be outfitted with your choice of anti-ricochet panels

Ballistic Absorbing ConcreteStarburst uses SACON®, a ballistic absorbing concrete developed by GSL researchers at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center.

SACON’s bullet absorbing properties make it ideal for urban or close combat live-fire training. The angle of ricochet off SACON® is below 25 degrees from the plane of the material, making for safe room-clearing training. The material is also non-flammable, making it safe for use with pyrotechnics and hand grenades.

Firearms remain indispensable to all modern militaries and law enforcement organizations. Effective use of firearms requires good firearms training; good firearms training require a good firing range. We at Starburst are dedicated to providing you with just that: a good firing range that is reliable, durable and safe.

We engineer, construct, fit-out, retrofit, and maintain indoor & outdoor firing ranges. We deliver ranges that are both safe and conducive for all of your training needs.

We understand that modern firearms-training is complex and that you may have sophisticated demands. Through our extensive experience in the field, we have the knowledge in range design and the technical expertise to build ranges to your exact specifications and training requirements.

We don’t just engineer ranges; we can improve or upgrade your existing range with one of our many suites of ballistic fit-out solutions.

We design, fabricate and install bullet containment/catcher systems which can halt ricochets from fired rounds. We engineer ballistic fit-out fabrications which incorporate the installation of anti-ricochet ceiling systems, anti-ricochet wall and flooring rubber systems, and floor and ceiling baffles to stop rounds from escaping the firing line.

Ballistic Fit-Outs Fire Rangers (indoor & Outdoor)

Close-quarter battle (“CQB”) training’s importance only increases as modern militaries increasingly focus on urban warfare and fighting in built-up areas (“FIBUA”). CQB training can also be dangerous since the close proximity of combat mean bullets’ tendency to ricochet are at their highest. In situations like these, good ballistic fit-outs are more important than ever.

We can install anti-ricochet ceiling systems, anti-ricochet wall and flooring rubber systems, and floor and ceiling baffles to make realistic and effective training possible without compromising safety.

Ballistic Fit-Outs Close-Quarter Battle (CQB) Training Facilities

Starburst customises Method-of-Entry (MOE) buildings and facilities for both mechanical method-of-entry (MMOE) and explosive method-of-entry (EMOE). MOE facilities can be the ideal environment for law enforcement and military personnel to receive training on the finer points of tactical entries through doors and windows. Our MOE facilities are also compatible with the usage of explosives. They are built to safely withstand repeated detonations without suffering long term structural damage.

We have the experience and know-how to construct durable MOE buildings that can become realistic arenas for effective training.

Ballistic Fit-Outs Method-of-Entry Facilities

Tactical mock-ups are important for the simulation of important and high-risk operations such as search and rescues. Much like close quarter battle training, most tactical mock-up trainings take place in confined quarters within aircrafts and ships. This again increases the risks of unnecessary injury. But it is possible to minimise these risks without compromising on the realism of the training.

Starburst can design and fit-out tactical mock-ups with ballistic protection technology to make training with live rounds as safe as possible.

We have delivered some of the most comprehensive tatical mock-ups to various security forces around the world. In creating our mock-ups, we do our best to strike that liminal point between realism and safety.

Our mock-ups provide the necessary background for realistic training (with live or non-live rounds) simulations. We can create aircraft, ship, and vehicle mock-ups; our mock-up designs come customisable to your requirements.

Mock-up training scenarios we have been involved with include indoor CQB training facilities, sniper training towers, and partial & full mock-ups of passenger aircraft and ocean-going vessels.

Ballistic Fit-Outs Tactical Mock-Up Training Facilities

Starburst also builds modular training ranges in addition to our regular ranges.

Our Modular Live Fire Ranges come in prefabricated modular configurations. Starburst can provide customers with design facilities that meet their particular and appropriate requirements. A Modular Live Fire Range is a complete, self-contained, shooting range in a bulletproof module, equipped with shooting booths, target retrieval systems, bullet traps, lighting and HVAC systems.

Each range module provides a complete indoor range up that can span 25, 50 or even 100 metres in length. Additional modules can be added later to accommodate more shooting lanes.

Modular Training Range

To ensure that users continue to train within a safe environment, it is important that these facilities are maintained to the original design standards. The shooting ranges must be regularly monitored and checked to ensure that they continue to meet international safety standards.

Starburst can provide a full range of maintenance and repair services to sustain optimal conditions as described in the initial design criteria and maintenance manuals, whilst also being aware of potential updates and changes to comply with the best international safety practices. These critical facilities can be better maintained by Starburst, ensuring that range usage is maximised, down time is minimised, and safety is never compromised.

Range Maintenance

Leveraging on Starburst’s experience in engineering aircraft, ship and vehicle mock-ups, Starburst is able to add fire training simulation to its array of products and services.

Starburst collaborates with its world leading business partners to support this service, which provides the fire trainer simulation, integrated with system controls, to generate a variety of fire scenarios to the mock-up. With provision of the mock-up scheme design requirement, coupled with our years of experience in mock-up construction, we re-engineer and modify the design to make it more realistic and ease of the mode of construction. We can also integrate fire trainer systems into our mock-up; providing all the mechanical and electrical components according to the design. With this mock-up facility, civil aviation authorities or civil defence units can replicate fire scenarios within and outside the mock-up and train their personnel to carry-out evacuation and rescue in fire scenarios.

Fire Simulation & Evacuation Mock-Ups

Starburst builds comprehensive suites of detention and security systems for detention facilities.

Door, Window, & Frame SystemsWe provide doors, window panels, and frames packaged and pre-assembled to your specifications.

We use steel-stiffened hollow metal doors that are highly impact-resistant, bullet-resistant, blast-resistant, & fire-resistant to various levels by ASTM & UL standards. Our windows are impact-resistant, bullet-resistant, blast-resistant, and fire-resistant to various levels by ASTM & UL standards as well. The windows can be modified with document deal access fittings or one-way mirrored panels.

Security and Detention Facilities

In addition, Starburst designs, fabricates and installs architectural steel structures. Our expertise with precision designs extends the periphery of military and law-enforcement related work. We work with specialist curtain wall or space frame companies and re-engineer designs to ease construction and lower cost; we also provide 3D-generated designs with a cutting list to assist you in purchasing the accessories that accompany the steel fixtures.
