Advanced Simulation Technology inc. (ASTi) products played a critical role during Bold Quest 2020’s recent, multinational military exercise. Its simulated comms systems provided cohesive voice services that connected warfighters, simulations and civilian staff across the United States and Europe.
Bold Quest provides a venue for experiments, assessments and capability demonstrations in a network-distributed environment. Bold Quest 2020 was focused on making incremental improvements to simulator interoperability in a joint-coalition environment. Further, Joint Staff analysts measured distributed simulators’ effectiveness to improve the performance of warfighters conducting combined, joint-fires operations. Bold Quest also empowered industry and government agencies to demonstrate leading technologies like augmented and virtual reality.
ASTi systems spread throughout Bold Quest’s distributed environment supplied crucial capabilities, such as interoperable voice comms among simulator-based training facilities and centralized exercise-management sites. ASTi also delivered back-channel, administrative comms through private, point-to-point calling; conferencing; intercoms; and text chat. With web-enabled scenarios, administrators could centrally manage comms systems from anywhere on the network.
