RTI International has secured a $70 million contract to develop virtual-reality simulations that will train Army soldiers on how to repair the Abrams line of tanks, the Research Triangle Park-based nonprofit giant announced Wednesday
RTI will develop software and other technology that will allow soldiers to practice making repairs to the tanks. Soldiers will be able to go through the training while working on desktop computers
The simulation technology developed by RTI will be integrated into a suite of devices known as the Abrams Maintenance Training System. RTI's contract is with the U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation in Orlando, Fla
"RTI’s approach to this requirement reflects the latest advances in desktop simulations using serious games technology as well as an unprecedented degree of integration with other members of the Abrams community," said Sam Field, vice president of RTI’s training business. "For years, RTI has pioneered the application of virtual reality on low-cost desktops as a means of providing learning-by-doing in a cost-effective and safe environment. These new Abrams products will feature new technologies and everything we know about learning methods."
RTI will use subcontractors for much of the work on the Abrams project. Anniston Army Depot in Alabama will work with RTI in using demilitarized tank parts to make the simulations as realistic as possible. Other subcontractors on the project include DEI Services Corp. and TJ Inc. of Orlando and DRS Test and Energy Management of Huntsville, Ala.
