Pitch Technologies has released a plug-in and development software called Pitch Unreal Engine Connector, which connects the Unreal Engine with High Level Architecture and Distributed Interactive Simulation simulation interoperability standards.
eXtended reality technologies are transforming how many organizations train and operate. These technologies span the gamut from fully immersive virtual worlds to augmentation holograms overlaid onto the real-world to mixed-reality solutions that fuse digital and physical entities.
A new facility in Melbourne will provide an immersive 360-degree Augmented Reality (AR) environment for scientists from Australia’s Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) seeking to assess new technologies for dismounted combatants.
Marty Kauchak, Group Editor attended the 3 Dec. special event 'A View from the Top: Disruptive Technologies That Will Transform Training' and filed this report.
This 25 November, Andy Fawkes, MS&T Editor and Marty Kauchak, Halldale Media Group Editor, completed a wide-ranging interview with Robert “Bob” Kleinhample, Vice President and Interim Training and Mission Solutions Practice Area Lead, Science Application International Corporation.
Group Editor Marty Kauchak provides a high-level glimpse of rapidly evolving defense S&T trends and programs in Asia.
Asian military services are using learning technologies to strengthen their readiness levels across their mission sets. At one end of the spectrum, new training and education systems are supporting the introduction of the fifth-generation F-35A to the Royal Australian Air Force. At the same time, regional defense forces are using wargame-like solutions to allow their units and staffs to prepare for tasks in and beyond warfighting domains. Further to these trends, the overarching, major development to which simulation and training (S&T) companies, beyond and from the region, are responding is the expanding, insatiable demand for products and services by diverse Asian customers – hardware OEMs, defense departments and other government organizations, and others. This feature article selectively reviews developments in the Asian Pacific S&T defense market space through the regional portfolios of four industry companies.
Group Editor Marty Kauchak provides highlights of the US Air Force’s quickly evolving “Rebuilding the Forge” Concept of Operations that aims to dramatically cut the time to train.
To preserve our mastery in a digitized world, we need to match the technical capabilities of new technologies with an application strategy for our benefit. To do that, we need a working, albeit basic, understanding of these new technologies. Commentary by Christian Popp.
Watch the latest episode in our Restarting The Engines series with Capt Jacques Drappier, Capt. Philip Adrian and Mark Dransfield FRAeS discussing the use of FFS, FTD and other new technologies.
