With the introduction of live video in cockpits, the demand for 2-D moving maps, and the imminent possibility for full 3-D synthetic vision sometime in the future, a comprehensive plan for avionics testing is more critical than ever.

Battle Labs are a fairly new concept that allow for the virtual experimentation of new technology and solutions before they are fielded in battle.  The goal is to test the latest in battlefield organization, tactics, doctrine, and technological capabilities to determine their potential value early on in the acquisition process - before significant investment has been made in their preparation and deployment. 

Center console displays and infotainment systems are becoming increasingly standard on vehicles.  These systems require specialized development software tools for the development of intuitive graphical interfaces. 

Today's avionics are more complex than ever.  With more reliance on software and graphical displays, developers require solutions for the development of cutting edge embedded avionics graphics. 

The process of developing flight simulation is time-consuming and complex.  A key challenge is the myriad of flight simulations that exist (including High Altitude Flight, Fast Jet Simulation, Low Altitude Flight, Helicopter, UAV, Low Altitude, and Slow Flight) and their individual, unique requirements.

Threats can emerge from anywhere at any time.  Emergency response and homeland security personnel need proper training to help prevent and deal with those threats. 

Embedded training is defined as training provided by capabilities built into or added onto operational systems, subsystems, or equipment, to enhance and maintain the skill proficiency of personnel. 

Naval trainers and simulators for mission rehearsal need to maximize realism and minimize the difficult transition between the varying environments - including deep water, shore line and ground environments.

A key component of military operation success is the ability to convert intelligence data into an information advantage that can be leveraged on the battlefield.  Network-Centric Operations systems are designed to address this need.  They bring the processing of intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance data together into an integrated network with battle management technology. 

Part task trainers are an excellent way to provide pinpoint training for specific tasks, without the cost of investing in a full-motion simulator or the complexities of a live exercise.

Delivery of accurate sensor views in an application can be one of the biggest challenges facing a developer.  Correlation is key and a lot is required to ensure the different pieces of the application will successfully work together.

Trainers today are looking for ways to engage the new generation of trainee.  They are looking to move beyond conventional training methods, such as classroom teaching and role-playing, to incorporate more powerful teaching, training and collaboration tools.

More than ever, armed forces require training for the many challenges they will face in today's urban-centric wars.
