Development of a learner experience platform and recommender algorithm for tracking performance and providing recommendations for learning. The challenge To ensure readiness and availability of fifth-generation air force weapons platforms and systems, maintenance personnel must be flexibly deployable and have the correct competencies and qualifications for aircraft maintenance. To meet these demands effectively, current training […]

Live, Virtual and Constructive elements in one training environment The challenge LVC incorporates Live, Virtual and Constructive elements into a single training environment. Conducting seamless LVC exercises remains one of the most challenging issues in modelling and simulation for modern air forces. There is insufficient interoperability, limited reuse and loose integration between the Live, Virtual […]

Diverse and realistic scenarios for fighter controller training. Fighter controllers are essential for the safety and effectiveness of fighter pilots. They provide the pilots with a complete and correct air picture. Fighter controllers must be well trained to observe, assess and communicate in rapidly evolving situations. This includes training scenarios that are diverse and have […]

Virtual Reality training made easy for both trainee and instructor The challenge Shooting 360° videos is easy and is being used more and more to familiarise and even train people in various situations by immersing them using virtual reality goggles. Supporting flight training using these 360° videos in combination with VR goggles, however, is more […]

Formulation of training and simulation vision including a roadmap for implementation The challenge Many nations are facing the question of what to do with their end-of-life simulators and how to ensure their replacements will be more (cost-) effective, efficient, and future-ready. The Swiss Armed Forces are investigating possible options for developing a new portfolio of […]

Intelligent opponents in mission simulation The challenge In military simulations, computer-generated forces (CGFs) are autonomous entities that represent friendly, neutral or hostile air, ground surface, or subsurface-based units, platforms or individuals. The behaviour that CGFs display in the simulations is modelled to resemble realistic human behaviour. CGFs are typically used in application areas such as […]
