The capital-based Indian firm will be the exclusive
re-seller of the VIRTSIM in the region, according
to a Raytheon press release here.
Raytheon has teamed with Motion Reality Incorporated
(MRI) in providing the VIRTSIM, a fully-immersive,
3-dimensional small unit tactical training simulation
system that applies MRI's motion capture and Hollywood
movie technology.
A single system allows a full squad of up to
13 individuals to interactively train in customised
mission scenarios with complete freedom of motion.
"This order makes VIRTSIM available for
the first time to Indian and regional customers,
through BCL, to experience for themselves this
amazing 3-D training technology," Raytheon's
Network Centric Systems International Business
Development vice president Gene Blackwell said
in the release.
In July this year, BCL had entered into an agreement
with Raytheon to exclusively market VIRTSIM in
India and the region. The first system will support
demonstrations and training scenario development
for military, law enforcement and security in
the region.
"In offering VIRTSIM, BCL Secure Premises
is also applying our regional knowledge and security
expertise to best meet the training needs of our
customers," the BCL Secure Premises vice
president (corporate and planning strategy) Col.
(retired) M. K. Channan said.
VIRTSIM trainees experience realistic sensory
feedback, such as muscle stimulation, when they
are "shot" as they interact with other
live or artificial intelligence characters in
combat, law enforcement or security-based scenarios
in a 360-degree virtual environment.
