Real Life Simulation Training, Held Back by the Technology Supporting It
Facility X is a tactical training center built for live-fire, scenario-based simulations, the kind of room-clearing, forced-entry, and high-stress exercises most facilities can't safely support. Local police departments, state and federal agencies, private security firms, and civilians train there because it offers realism nowhere else can.
The one thing that hadn't kept up was the feedback loop. Instructors relied on GoPros and often stood close enough to get hit by Ultimate Training Munitions (UTM) rounds while observing live scenarios. They had to run the drills instead of letting trainees run them independently. By the time trainees got feedback, the moment had already passed.
Co-owner Drew Cimonetti and his instructors relied on handwritten notes, memory, and hours of reviewing GoPro footage. Dave Whitesell, Facility X's Head of Technology, described the process as "hours upon hours upon hours." Co-owner Josh Wilkins said it "missed every critical failure," the kind of mistake that can lead to a bad shoot or a fatality. That's what sent them looking for something better.
Fast Enough to Provide Real-Time Feedback
Facility X needed to pull answers out of hours of footage, what happened and who was involved, fast enough to shape the next drill instead of next week's debrief. Coram stood out for five reasons:
- AI Search: Find any moment by describing it instead of scrubbing through hours of footage.
- Journey Path: Follow a trainee through an entire scenario in one continuous view.
- Night Vision: Tracking stays accurate through daylight and infrared exercises alike.
- Local Storage: Footage stays on-site, which matters for security and FOIA requests.
- Responsive Support: Fast answers, plus experts who helped deploy and tune all 41 cameras.

Becoming the Facility Agencies Travel to Train At
Today, instructors retrieve footage and document incidents in seconds. They spend less time reviewing video and more time training officers. The camera system no longer just documents scenarios. It helps run them. With Coram, they have been able to:
- Debrief Faster: Review went from hours or even days, into minutes. Feedback is now provided in real time during training.
- Capture Every Perspective: Follow each trainee through an entire exercise without piecing footage together manually.
- Train Day or Night: Deliver consistent feedback across both daylight and nighttime simulations.
- Strengthen Accountability: Back every debrief with searchable video evidence.
- Track Equipment, Cut Admin Time: Locate gear, reduce paperwork, and run more training scenarios each day.
Agencies travel hours to train at Facility X because every claim in a debrief can be shown on video, and that reputation is opening new lines of work: civilian self-defense, fire departments, corporate training, and self-guided trainee reviews.

It's truly useful AI. It's a collaborator. It's working in the background pulling the footage we need while the instructor's already running the next drill.
People are willing to come from all over for multiple training days at a time — they see the technology Coram brings and how it raises the bar for their training. We've seen our business increase significantly after implementing Coram.
