ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon (NYSE: RTN)
unveiled a new immersive military training product today at
I/ITSEC, the world's largest modeling, simulation and training
event. The Synthetic Training Environment Soldier Virtual Trainer,
or STE SVT, uses virtual reality to train squads of soldiers in
multiple scenarios while using real and virtual weapons.
The new virtual simulator is designed to train dismounted
infantry and uses the latest technological advances to deliver
highly effective training at a moment's notice from any location.
It delivers unmatched realism and accessibility while dramatically
reducing the cost and logistical challenge of high-consequence
training missions.
"Raytheon tech helps specialists around the world prepare for
the world's most important missions," said Bob Williams, vice president of Global Training
Solutions at Raytheon Intelligence, Information and Services. "We
are blending our understanding of training with emerging
technologies – augmented reality, virtual reality, artificial
intelligence, cybersecurity and big data – to connect and secure
military training like never before."
The vision for the U.S. Army's Synthetic Training Environment is
to create a common synthetic environment for soldiers to train
together from anywhere in the world. Raytheon's STE SVT answers
that call and will completely change the way military training is
done. The current room-sized simulators will be replaced by
portable laptop-powered AR/VR headsets that easily can be
transported to soldiers for use anywhere at any time.
To experience the STE SVT during I/ITSEC, please visit
Raytheon's booth #1037 at the Orange
County Convention Center, Dec. 2-5,
2019.
