Training & Simulation Journalsponsored by
This year’s edition of the world’s largest anti-submarine warfare exercise, Proud Manta, will feature NATO’s research vessel Alliance for the first time. (Correction: the ship itself is not new; its participation in the exercise is.)
The developer of the JCATS (Joint Conflict and Tactical Simulation) system has launched a two-year effort to see whether the U.S. military’s bedrock constructive simulation can be moved to a cloud-and-browser system.
SINGAPORE — Canada’s CAE will set up a military and civilian helicopter training center with Brunei as part of a multipurpose training operation, CAE and the Brunei Economic Development Board (BEDB) announced at the Singapore Airshow on Feb. 15.
The U.S. Air Force has awarded Cubic Defense Applications, a business of Cubic Corp., a $30 million contract to provide air combat maneuvering instrumentation for Red Flag exercises at The Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex and Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.
Members of the modeling and simulation community gathered in Washington on Feb. 6 for the Inaugural Congress of the National Modeling and Simulation Coalition (NMSC).
Web Nexus, the virtual world platform from Engineering and Computer Simulations (ECS), will soon release a browser-based version that promises to lower costs and eliminate the need to install special software.
We’re looking for an editor to run our print-and-online magazine that covers the world of military training and simulation technologies.
The U.S. Air Force has awarded AAI Logistics & Technical Services, an operating unit of Textron Systems, a contract to provide logistics support and concurrency upgrades for the B-1B Training System. The award holds a potential value of $162 million over seven years.
Timing is everything, whether you’re bombing Iran’s nuclear sites, or just making a game of it. Persian Incursion is a timely board game. It is a detailed, high-fidelity simulation of an Israeli strike against Iranian nuclear facilities. The game was published in 2010, just as tensions over nuclear facilities were beginning to rise between the two countries (and the U.S.).
Chemring Defence, a U.K.-based company specializing in pyrotechnics, countermeasures and munitions, recently sold an initial batch of its new shoulder-launched surface-to-air missile simulators to the U.S. Defense Department, and is awaiting final DoD certification.
Counterinsurgency, vast and nebulous, has long been intellectual quicksand for the defense modeling and simulation community. But the sands may be firming up.
The past decade has seen Military Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT) training systems evolve from rudimentary experiments to sophisticated sites. Now U.S. Army medics and evacuation personnel are getting their own specially designed MOUTs, the first fruit of a five-year Urban Operations Training System (UOTS) contract with Lockheed Martin Global Training and Logistics.
Presagis has unveiled a server-based software designed to generate synthetic environments in less time and at a lower cost than geospecific satellite imagery, and at a higher fidelity than traditional geotypical imagery.
Lockheed Martin’s Virtual World Labs is developing an Internet framework meant to promote interoperability among and lower the cost of creating virtual worlds.
A group of British companies have blended commercial-off-the-shelf electronics to help governments and navies ward off pirate attacks.
A team of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) researchers has developed a modeling and simulation package that allows users to create their own social-network models instead of having to call in professional modelers.
The philosophy behind RL Leaders is the nexus of the right and left brain, or in this case, creative and technical expertise. The Los Angeles-based company is working to bring the most sophisticated technology in Hollywood to the DoD’s doorstep.
Both The Boeing Co. and Cubic Corp. have developed devices to replace cumbersome sand tables with snazzy electronic systems that look like a video gamer's dream.
The U.S. Air Force has awarded Lockheed Martin Global Training and Logistics a $24 million contract to upgrade the visual system and imagery databases for 10 C-130 weapons systems trainers used in the C-130 Aircrew Training System (ATS) II program.
Construction will soon get underway for the first training center in Russia to use simulation technology.
The War on Terror has been tough on defense modeling and simulation. Thrust from the certainties of the Cold War into the blazing new world of irregular warfare, the M&S community discovered that what America needed after 9/11 wasn’t better simulations of how to blow up Iraqi tanks — but rather how to keep the Iraqi people from blowing up when their electricity failed.
How would you “simulate a better world” if you had half a million dollars and the technical expertise of an interactive video simulation company at your disposal?
The United States Army in Europe’s (USAREUR) Joint Multinational Training Command (JMTC) is moving away from the restrictive training paradigm of the past decade.
BAE Systems' Visual Threat Recognition and Avoidance Trainer (VTRAT), already in use by the U.S. Air Force, is available to be tailored for U.S. Army customers, the company announced at the Association of the United States Army's 2011 exposition in Washington, D.C.
Col. Robert "Pat" White is the new deputy commander of the U.S. Army's Combined Arms Center-Training (CAC-T) at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. White formerly served as an armor officer, commander of the 2nd Brigade, 1st Armored Division, Baumholder, Germany, and as executive officer to the commanding general at the U.S. Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), under Gen. Martin Dempsey and Gen. Robert Cone. White spoke with TSJ about the future of Army training.
Most shooter games are to history what Daffy Duck is to aquatic birds. They are not parodies of realism, but tragedies, because the average teenage gamer believes they bear more than a passing resemblance to real life. Perhaps this is the shape of the future: a world run by a generation that believes war is nothing more than running around like a demented rifle-armed chicken shooting everything in sight.
Albert "Skip" Rizzo was inspired to combine virtual reality with medicine by a patient playing a GameBoy. Rizzo was having a difficult time motivating the young boy, who suffered from mental illness, to participate in his exercises. But, the patient was fascinated with the game "Tetris" on the hand-held device.
Lockheed Martin delivered and installed the first weapons-load training device to the 33rd Fighter Wing at the F-35 Integrated Training Center (ITC) at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla.
