Advanced Technologies Department

The Advanced Technologies Department provides a wide variety of engineering and training services and products to government and industry clients. We conduct research, perform feasibility studies and technology evaluations, and develop simulators, simulation models and distributed systems for training, test and evaluation, and operations and maintenance purposes. We also provide training requirements analysis and needs assessment, systems engineering, software development and integration and logistics supports services.

We apply the most appropriate skill set and systems engineering processes to produce complete solutions for training, modeling and simulation needs. We form teams of cognitive scientists, human factors and instructional design professionals, simulation engineers and integration specialists to work closely with clients to provide timely, high-quality, customized solutions. Our project teams analyze the client's needs, design solutions and develop strategies, methods and media to provide innovative, effective and affordable solutions. The department's technical expertise is based on more than 20 years of experience in creating cutting-edge technical solutions for the simulation and training industries.
