The toughest fidelity challenge
Article Abstract:
The flight simulation industry counts both commercial and military organizations as its customers. Helicopter flight training is similar throughout the world. Among the simulation firms which provide both simulators and flight training are Flight Safety Simulation from Tulsa, OK, Helikopter Service Training Centre in Stavanger, Norway and the Defence Helicopter Flying School of the UK. Simulation software firms are constantly improving the realism of helicopter training visuals.

Small arms simulation - safety & cost savings
Article Abstract:
Several firms have developed products which provide training systems for soldiers. The products include visual systems, realistic indoor and outdoor shooting ranges and advanced technologies which incorporate integrated computer imagery which improve tactical training and leadership skills. Among the other products which enhance realism in training include a .68 caliber nylon ball which, when fired, can actually hit trainees and eye-safe laser pulses which simulate gun, missile or shell fire.

Training support for armoured personnel carriers
Article Abstract:
A number of interactive simulation systems are now available for the crews of armored personnel carriers (APCs). APCs, which are second only in importance to main battle tanks, are increasingly becoming sophisticated enough to warrant their own dedicated training systems. Some of these include the Gesi combat system developed for the German Army by CAE and the close combat tactical trainer for the US Army from Lockheed Martin.
