It’s Day 3 at 2023 I/ITSEC. Some S&T community trends at this year’s event are crystal clear. Two on the author’s short list include the expanding presence of AR/MR/VR/XR in military enterprises and the fast-paced “cross pollination” of materiel offered to high-risk training enterprises in and beyond defense.

BISim and Varjo are integrating their solutions, which will accelerate the creation of new training and mission rehearsal use cases.

Varjo has just released its new XR-4 series and believes it is the first company to introduce gaze-directed, high-resolution autofocus cameras in mixed reality.

This is the third in a series of short articles on military FSTD developments. We’ll resume from where we departed from our last glimpse of the fast-jet sector with a survey of a new F-35-focused training device entering this market space and then gain an update on the art-of-the possible by way of one novel flight simulator in development.

The latest edition to this simulator family offers diverse scenarios such as air-to-air refueling and hypoxia training, setting a new standard for Part Task and mission training.

Collaborating with industry experts, students will engage in a learning journey that includes research, experimentation, theory classes, guest lectures, workshops, and projects, all centered on the practical application and exploration of AR, VR, and MR technologies. 

Advanced Rotorcraft Technology will use BRUNNER’s NOVASIM Virtual Reality Full Motion Simulator in the future to demonstrate high definition Flight Dynamics Models based on their FLIGHTLAB software.

C2 Technologies Inc., an education, immersive learning, MODSIM, aviation training, and digital transformation company has appointed its newest advisory board member, Raymond “Duke” Duquette.

MS&T’s Simulation and Training Awards Program is back for 2022 with five categories that cover all the fantastic work being done in our industry.
