Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) which marked its maiden participation at the recent 2024 I/ITSEC, showcased its future plans to grow its military simulation and training capability into a core business group.
KAI has successfully delivered 60 simulators to 19 bases in seven countries around the world over the past 23 years.
KAI showcased a Virtual Reality (VR)-based maintenance and operation simulator that also makes use of digital twin technology. It also presented a new high-performance image generation device that was successfully developed in-house.
“KAI has been advancing its extended reality (XR) technology to build a more economical and effective aviation weapons training system based on its aircraft development technology,” a company official said.
KAI’s FA-50 Virtual Maintenance Trainer (VMT) features enhanced realism by making use of digital twin technology, and as per the Korean firm, it is receiving strong interest for this simulator.
KAI also presented its new high-performance image generator for simulators called “KAIGEN.” The image generator took five years to develop with internal company funding and maximizes realism by implementing the training environment in 3-D using high-resolution satellite images and ultra-high-precision Digital Elevation Model (DEM) containing height information of the ground.
KAI has also expanded its simulation and training offerings with products such as the pilot training equipment system for the Republic of Korea Navy’s (ROKN) Jangbogo-III conventional submarines and also developed a high-speed landing craft (LSF-II) simulator system in 2021.
