Boeing Selects VT MAK and Antycip Simulation

ST Engineering announced that Boeing Defence UK has chosen the simulation and visualization software of its subsidiaries VT MAK and Antycip Simulation as core components of its Defence Operational Training Capability (Air) (DOTC A)) Core System and Services (DCS&S) contract.

Based on the UKMinistry of Defence’s (MOD) requirements, VT MAK and Antycip Simulation willdeliver and support commercial off the shelf (COTS) products that getcapabilities into the hands of customers as early as possible, whileincrementally adding new capabilities.

The DCS&S contract will see the creationof Gladiator, a capability that will support multiple complex trainingscenarios, simultaneously and independently of each other. The system willallow personnel at different sites to train together in their own high-fidelitysimulators, linked by a secure network to a new hub at RAF Waddington.

The system will securely manage trainingevents across locations and classification levels, allowing RAF crews toexperience the same battle environment and threats, including joint trainingwith their counterparts in the US.

MAK products provide off-the-shelffunctionality, ease-of-use, open architecture, modularity, and support for openstandards. Antycip Simulation will customize, enhance, deliver and support MAKCOTS products for DCS&S. High fidelity flight and electronic warfare modelswill be integrated into VR-Forces by VT MAK and Antycip partner, RTDynamics.VR-Forces, VR-Vantage, and VR-Engage will become the DCS&S Common ComputerGenerated Forces, Common Image Generator, and Common Role Players, and will bethe primary tools to support the exercise preparation and execution of DOTC (A)exercises managed by Boeing and the Inzpire White Force.
