Defense Contractor Raytheon and virtual reality company Motion Reality have entered into an agreement to bring 3D Mission and training applications to military, law enforcement, and security forces. In particular, the agreement revolves MRI’s ‘VIRTSIM’ package which can immerse 12 subjects with wireless HMD’s and simulated weapons with state of the art muscle stimulations technolory and networking for a real-time virtual reality training system.
“Together, Raytheon and MRI offer more responsive, flexible and complete end-to-end mission rehearsal and training solutions,” said Glynn Raymer, vice president, Raytheon Network Centric Systems Combat Systems. “We are also looking at innovative applications that can lead to greater efficiencies in new product design, prototyping and testing.”
“Raytheon and MRI have already developed a virtual simulation system to improve warfighter conditioning for the detection of improvised explosive device activity,” said Jack Costello, vice president, NCS Strategic Planning and lead, Raytheon IED Defeat Task Force. “This immersive training solution will give our forces increased awareness necessary to defeat IEDs.”
