Architecture ] Engineering ] Environmental ] [ Military ]

Polyengineering, Inc. has been successfully designing military ranges since 1988.  In this time, we have designed over 50 ranges.  Our team was the first to design many of the now-standard digital and non-digital training ranges currently in use at Army Installations across the country.  We earned a reputation as being a leader in military training range design by taking great pride in producing something that plays an important part in preparing our troops for entering into battle.   

Our capable staff has experience successfully designing ranges of all sizes for various climates across the world.  We have the ability to design the most technologically advanced ranges, regardless of the environmental conditions affecting the selected site.  We have designed and managed the construction of ranges in the most diverse climates ranging from the arctic conditions found in Alaska, the tropical weather common to Hawaii, the extreme desert climate of Saudi Arabia, and various locations around the continental US.  We have the necessary personnel, experience, equipment, and resources to successfully design multiple projects on time and within budget regardless of geographic location.

Every project we design incorporates the concepts of LEED certification and Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection Standards.  Our projects incorporate waste reduction measures and we re-use recovered materials in many of our designs.  Pollution prevention measures are designed into every project in the form of erosion and sediment control plans, stream bank protection, wetlands protection and endangered species protection, to name a few.  We are committed to and aware of the importance of sustainable design emphasizing environmental stewardship, resource conservation and recycled materials use.  We understand the importance of these items and realize the growing need to be forward thinking in our profession.

Perhaps one of our most unique features is our commitment to meeting project deadlines while still delivering a quality design project.  Our experienced team of engineers, architects, and support personnel bring a wide variety of capabilities allowing us to provide the most efficient, cost effective and responsive service possible.  We have never missed a submission deadline.  We have never delivered a project that could not be awarded due to budget problems.

Design of Military Training Facilities requires an insight into the training requirements of the Army.  Our team is passionate about providing state-of-the-art, quality training venues for our soldiers.  We take pride in designing to the budget.  We are practical and work with the end user as well as the contracting authority to advise them at each design stage on ways to ensure the project bids are within the funding limits. 


Over the years, the larger-scale digital ranges have become more and more complex.  Historically, we completed internal LOS Analyses utilizing civil design software.  While this method of analysis was very accurate, it took many weeks of manpower to complete.  With design schedules shrinking and the design of the ranges continuing to become more complex, a decision was made to partner with Geographic Information Services, Inc. (GISi) of Birmingham, AL and RWA of Ozark, AL to develop an automated tool to validate LOS on training range projects.

GISi has been a trusted ESRI® Business Partner for over fifteen years. ESRI® has commended GISi seven times in the last six years for their expertise and technology leadership, including the inaugural ESRI® Foundation Partner, Southeast Region Business Partner of the Year and Most Valuable Professional for ArcObjects support.  GISi also developed the Range Managers Took Kit (RMTK) which has been a huge success in the training range community.

RWA is a leading training consulting firm with one purpose: giving war fighters the best training facilities in the world.  RWA employs master gunners, civil engineers, retired military professionals, and other subject matter experts with in-depth knowledge of the Army's Range & Training Land Program (RTLP).  RWA's in-depth knowledge of Army Training Doctrine and the Army's digital training requirements were key to the development of RangeSight.

The training range expertise of Polyengineering, Inc. combined with the ESRI® technology expertise of GISi and the functional training expertise of RWA led to the production of a state-of-the-art program for analyzing LOS on complex training range projects.  That program’s name…RangeSight.
