NGRAIN and CAE Join to Improve Training, Mission Preparation and Procurement

CAE and NGRAIN have partnered to integrate NGRAIN's interactive 3D simulation technology and CAE's PC-based training software to improve training, and other functions, for military and other security organizations.

NGRAIN's 3D visualization software will be integrated with CAE's STRIVE as part of a high-fidelity UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) simulator developed by CAE.  (STRIVE helps shorten development cycles by allowing developers to focus on building models without the concern for how the models communicate, interact, and perform in real-time.  It also allows existing libraries of models and software to be reused to the same affect.)

The companies see the UAV simulator as a representative research test bed that uses simulation and modeling for acquisition, mission requirements, and training.  And they see the combination of CAE STRIVE and NGRAIN’s 3D software as a way for end users to test, evaluate and prototype new systems long before a new system is fielded.

In addition, NGRAIN's Product Knowledge Management will be integrated with a CAE Simfinity C-130 integrated procedures trainer, which uses the same simulation software found on CAE's full mission simulators.  (Product Knowledge Management enables users to easily embed interactive "3D knowledge objects" into existing courseware created with Microsoft Word or PowerPoint.)  12-13-2004.
