Latest In Sim Tech To Be On Display
From November 28
through December 1, a virtual world will exist at the Orange County
Convention Center in Orlando, FL as more than 450 exhibitors flood
the exhibition hall with groundbreaking technology during the
annual Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education
Conference -- and ANN will be there to bring you the
highlights.
Inserting oneself into these artificial environments is very
close to experiencing the real thing -- whether it’s a convoy
in Iraq or a medical emergency in a remote village -- according to
an I/ITSEC release.
Those attending the conference and exhibition, will be able to
interact freely with the dozens of simulators and all the other
cutting edge, environment-creating technology on the floor
Among the highlights of this year's gathering are:
- A simulation of an
international crisis, presented on a thirty-foot jumbo screen,
involving low intensity conflict, search and rescue and
humanitarian assistance. Over fifty agencies and organizations from
Europe, Asia and North America will participate in real time,
providing coordinated responses to the many challenges faced in
this hyper-realistic “game”.
- Three-dimensional environments featuring interactions of the
latest generations of aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and land
platforms in a variety of situations, including search and rescue,
combat, and disaster relief.
- A multi-vehicle convoy trainer, designed to teach IED
(improvised explosive device) avoidance techniques, combined
tactics and urban warfare. This series of real vehicles will be
virtually linked to air support and other assets that can be drawn
into a given scenario, including environments representing actual
towns and cities in Iraq.
- A virtual medical emergency facility, demonstrating civilian
and military mass casualty treatment. Remote medical technologies
and applications are included, as a wide variety of emergencies are
simulated.
- The Army’s Future Combat System, which links advanced
communications and networking systems with soldiers, platforms,
weapons and sensors. This is a large part of the future of the Army
and it will be on full display.
- Discussions featuring leading authorities on serious gaming;
PC-based applications; the implications of convergence of reality
with the ability to mimic it, and for the science of learning.
I/ITSEC promotes cooperation among the Armed Services, Industry,
Academia and various Government agencies in pursuit of improved
training and education programs, identification of common training
issues and development of multiservice programs.
