Anybody know about standing takeoff?

After line up, power N1 50% set then the breaking release together takeoff power.

I can not find in the airbus procedure.
Maybe Military? :eek:

Providing the aircraft is at a reasonably heavy weight, the rapid engine acceleration at the high RPM end results in much the same situation as holding on the brakes until takeoff thrust is achieved.

A fairly standard procedure from a standing start, I would have thought, unless RTOW is limiting for accel stop and, even then, it isn't going to make much of a difference.
