Introduction to SAF-TAC in LS Core 2.0
SimCentric Technologies has recently announced the acquisition of their SAF-TAC virtual training environment by the Australian Army as a part of the Land Simulation Core 2.0 (LS Core 2.0) Tranche 1 program. This innovative system, based on the Unreal Engine gaming platform, is optimized for both Virtual Reality (VR) and Desktop use. SAF-TAC aims to enhance the individual and collective skills of military personnel through realistic, immersive, and easily adaptable training scenarios. The utilization of the latest gaming technology in SAF-TAC provides military personnel with a dynamic and interactive training environment.
Collaboration with AVS for LS Core 2.0 Tranche 1
SimCentric Technologies is collaborating with Applied Virtual Simulation (AVS) as the prime contractor for the LS Core 2.0 Tranche 1 program. As part of this collaboration, SAF-TAC licenses will be integrated into Army simulators as a part of the Persistent Land Simulation System. This initiative aims to modernize and harmonize the Army's simulation environments. The availability of SAF-TAC across various Army simulators, both VR and Desktop-based, makes it a versatile tool that can be incorporated into future programs and capabilities of the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
Advantages of SAF-TAC for the Australian Army
Dr. Adam Easton, the CEO of SimCentric, highlighted the significance of SAF-TAC for the Australian Army, emphasizing the tangible enhancements it brings to both individual and collective skills of soldiers. By leveraging the capabilities of the Unreal Engine gaming engine, the Australian Army can efficiently modernize and deliver unprecedented training capabilities to its personnel. The use of commercial gaming technology not only enhances training experiences but also ensures rapid and sustainable modernization, which would be challenging with bespoke military software. SAF-TAC's incorporation into LS Core 2.0 Tranche 1 demonstrates SimCentric's commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions to the Australian Army.
