ITEC 2015 SHOWCASING THE SPECTRUM OF SIMULATION 

As the leading international event for military training, education and simulation technology services, ITEC offers an exclusive demonstration of the sector’s latest and most innovative products and capabilities. With just under two weeks to go until ITEC makes its debut in the Czech Republic, over 140 companies are preparing to showcase new training and simulation systems to the event’s growing global audience.

Serious Simulations, LLC, an innovative provider of human motion based, mixed and virtual reality training systems for the military, law enforcement, firefighting, and medical communities, will exhibit for the first time at ITEC 2015. Serious Simulations will have a variety of media available to display their products and technology.  The military product is branded ready2traintm and includes their unique HMD with a very high definition, wide field of view as well as their patented weapon data sensing “skins.” The skins monitor the state and actions of a soldier’s real or simulated weapon and relay that information to a remote monitoring system. These skins are applicable to most automatic and semi-automatic firearms for US and international models.

Christopher Chambers, CEO, said “ITEC 2015 represents the launch of Serious Simulations’ European, Asian, and Middle East business opportunities.  We are looking to book orders for our military and law enforcement individual and small group tactical simulators.  Our simulators are unique offerings in the simulation market in that they enable natural human motion as the man-to-simulation interface, and allow trainees to use all of their actual combat/duty gear in training.  We are looking forward to forging new relationships with customers, as well as foreign market representatives and resellers.  Our first ITEC will be a great event in the exciting history of our growing company.”

Damon Curry, VP and Technical, Operations and Product Manager (VP TOP) for Serious Simulations, added, “the wide array of military, medical and security organizations attending ITEC allow an interchange of  ideas and expertise that lead to better training solutions for the military, commercial and emergency services personnel.”

Lockheed Martin will demonstrate the company’s latest advancements in simulation and training, with a focus on highlighting next-generation capabilities in the air and ground domains. They will feature proven training technologies that enable more affordable, reliable training including the Battlegroup Command and Control Trainer (BC2T), desktop crew trainers and an interactive turn-key training demonstration. In addition, Lockheed Martin will feature a number of head wearable devices that provide ultra-wide fields of view to enable highly immersive virtual or augmented reality training applications across all domains.

During ITEC, Lockheed Martin will also demonstrate progress toward developing an integrated Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) training environment. On April 29 at 4:00 p.m., Business Development Manager Tim James will provide an update on the F-35 training effort, discussing the international F-35 training concept as well as the importance of integrated LVC in shaping the future of training for fifth-generation systems.

Vic Torla, Business Development Director for Lockheed Martin Training and Logistics Solutions said, “ITEC allows us to position Lockheed Martin amongst the industry’s best and to demonstrate our leading capabilities. The conference assembles key international audiences presenting the opportunity to maximize valued time with our international customers while remaining considerate of travel expenditures that allow us to provide affordable and innovative training and simulation solutions.”

Esterline will announce a new brand name at ITEC 2015, Treality, for its recently acquired training and simulation business from Barco. Treality will then announce the commercial release of the TD-Series of display systems at ITEC 2015.  Treality display systems are used in flight, maritime, air traffic control, driving, ground warfare and firearms simulators as well as a variety of simulation visualisation applications. The TD-Series product is the first deployable display system using a patented roll-up seamless spherical screen.  The spherical screen rolls up into a smaller diameter for easy handling and shipment but then un-rolls into its design diameter at the installation site. The seamless spherical screen and support structures fit through any standard door so the display can be setup virtually anywhere. The entire display system can be fully assembled and operational in just a few hours due to its “snap together” magnetic connections and a user friendly design.

CAE have recently won defence contracts valued at approximately C$220 million for: the C-130J training systems for U.S. Air Force and Royal Australian Air Force; simulator upgrades and training services for the Royal Air Force; M-346 simulators for Italian Air Force; support services for British Army Warrior infantry fighting vehicle training systems; and support services for NATO Joint Lynx Simulator Training Establishment. CAE will showcase its latest generation CAE Medallion-6000 image generator in a rotary-wing training and mission rehearsal scenario. The demonstration will show content-rich scenes from a common database (CDB) that includes a mix of mountainous and coastal areas along with high density industrial and urban areas. CAE will also demo its Caesar trauma patient simulator. Built for trauma, disaster response and combat casualty care, Caesar is the most rugged patient simulator available today. With life-sized realism and modeled physiology, Caesar offers clinical accuracy for basic to advanced point-of-injury training. Caesar is built for durability in harsh climates and terrains, and he’s water-resistant for decontamination procedures.

MASA Group has recently upgraded its automated wargame solution for training or decision-support, MASA SWORD, with a series of new capabilities. Customers will benefit from a range of new features including an improved user interface to strengthen the training & analysis tool. SWORD version 6.0 comprises a range of new features and will be publicly showcased for the first time ITEC 2015.

Reiser Simulation and Training provides a wide range of training devices and simulators for civil and military use. The company will showcase its brand-new H145T2 flight simulator which will help train its helicopter crews and other international customers.

BEC will present a new mobile motion simulation platform with full motion capability and helicopter flight simulation at ITEC 2015. The system is integrated in a 20″ flat-rack container and can be transported and installed anywhere within short time. Visitors can apply online for a free test flight on the robot mounted BEC motion simulator.
