PLEXSYS Launches Advanced Sonomarc 4.11

PLEXSYS has unveiled the new release of Sonomarc 4.11, designed and tested to offer an intuitive workflow for users. This new version brings significant advancements and features aimed at enhancing simulation and training experiences.

Some of the new highlights of the release include:

Dynamic Weather, supporting time-synchronized weather updates affecting RF propagation and synchronized with exercise time.

Virtual People Integration, which provides voice recognition and response over the radio. Once placed on a platform like an operator seat and assigned to a radio, the Virtual Person will listen to radio calls, communicate with ASCOT 5/7 (or another EG) to execute movement or other commands, and respond appropriately over the radio. The system includes a simple, close-control style grammar but is configurable for different commands, responses, and options. Dynamic scenario items such as airspaces are synchronized with the EG/ASCOT and can be referenced by name. The user can configure the Virtual Person's voice to one of four different synthetic voices included with the purchase and can further tailor it by changing speed and pitch. Sonomarc and ASCOT 7 now have a highly functional and modern Virtual People integration via the Sonomarc REST API. PLEXSYS built this system to allow student and sim drivers to dynamically configure new Voice Control grammars and abilities without software modification.

In addition, Sonomarc now supports Radio Over IP, enabling users to transmit and receive on real-world ROIP radios, bringing real-world assets into the simulation and bridging the live and sim worlds.  Sonomarc can play the role of a ROIP radio, allowing seamless integration with systems that can communicate with ROIP Radios. This solution includes features like controlled radio frequency, advanced radio multiplexing, and selective signal options, bringing more possibilities for communication needs.
