Orlando-based virtual training development solutions provider The DiSTI Corporation has been awarded a Phase III Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD). This contract, which focuses on developing next-generation Virtual Task Trainers (VTTs) for U.S. Navy Submarine Schools and submarines, marks a significant advancement in military training technology.
Under this new contract, DiSTI will create digital 3D training aids that allow submarine personnel to interact with and explore equipment in a highly realistic virtual environment. These Virtual Task Trainers will enable sailors to practice and master complex procedures safely, enhancing operational readiness and effectiveness.
The new VTTs developed under this contract will provide submarine personnel with opportunities to learn and refine their skills in a controlled, risk-free setting. For instance, they can practice complex equipment maintenance, emergency procedures, and detailed repair operations. By simulating real-world scenarios, these trainers help bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, ensuring that sailors are better prepared for the challenges they will face in active duty.
The Virtual Task Trainers can be seamlessly integrated into various training environments. This adaptability means that the VTTs can be customized to simulate a wide range of scenarios, from routine maintenance tasks to emergency situations, helping to enhance operational readiness and performance in any industry that requires advanced maintenance training.
