Doing a consol of all the ST simulators announced during the airshow.

To complement the Venus USV, ST Electronics' in-house developed and highly customisable USV Simulator will actively engage trainees in problem solving and competency based learning. Being highly modular in nature, the USV Simulator is a cost effective mode of training.
It facilitates training in the following areas:
- Trains operators in manoeuvring and navigating a USV
- Trains operators to operate the onboard camera
- Trains operators to practice deployment of USV for oceanographic surveys, environment studies, facility inspections eg. oil-rigs
- Trains operators in surface surveillance operations eg. pollution/chemical detection, mine watch, harbour protection, etc
http://www.stengg.com/pressroom/press_rele....aspx?paid=1514Desktop Avionics TrainerThe Desktop Avionics Trainer (DAT) is a training tool that combines both the Operational Flight Trainer and Computer Aided Instructions (CAI) packages into a PC. It is an ingenious and practical approach to make cockpit controls interactive, like in a real aircraft where Option Selection Switches, control panels and modes can be practically assimilated and interactively accessed through the use of a mouse.
It is 'flyable' using commercial-off-the-shelf hands-on throttles and stick (COTS HOTAS). Auto-pilot controls, similar to those on commercial aircraft, are installed to allow student pilots to concentrate on avionics system training while at the same time, allowing them to fly if desired.
The DAT works on a desktop PC or laptop system and is completely portable with no special hardware requirements. The DAT offers a holistic approach to training where theories, lecture notes, reference materials from the CAI, complete cockpit layout, interactive control functions and pre-recorded demonstration tapes can be easily cross-referenced, accessed and displayed.
3D Virtual WorldThe virtual world is a platform that enables us to apply our state-of-the-art Simulation, Animation, Games and Edutainment (SAGE) technologies to develop solutions for training and education.
ST Electronics will showcase its capability in the creation of virtual worlds at SA2010. With virtual worlds, the possibilities to incorporate new learning elements are limitless. People can now immerse themselves in an array of experiences without the need to be present in the physical environment through the virtual world.
We will showcase at the upcoming SA2010 the beta testing environment of the "Singapore 2010 Odyssey" Virtual World that is developed to promote sports, culture and the Olympic values and to connect youths from the 205 National Olympic committees ahead of the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games, as well as two other proof-of-concepts Virtual Worlds, ie Virtual Training Centre and Virtual ST Engineering Pavilion.
The Virtual Training Centre aims to introduce new trainees with the organisational values and culture of the Army Training Centre. Registered trainees and their parents can also obtain useful information on the types of training courses conducted through the virtual world and explore the various training facilities before the actual training in the form of avatars from their PC environment.
A virtualised version of the ST Engineering Pavilion @ the show will also be demonstrated. The concept of virtual tradeshow represents yet another excellent application of Virtual World. It compliments any exhibition by allowing visitors to do online virtual tours around the exhibition space, with 3D visuals and information of the exhibits way before their arrival at the site. It can continue to provide product and contact information of exhibiting companies well after the show has ended.
Simulation Tools & SolutionsST Electronics' subsidiary, Antycip Simulation who is the European leader in the provision of independent modelling and simulation COTS tools, projection systems and related engineering services, will also be showcasing its MyModels and MyBehaviour software tools. MyModels is designed for the quick generation of high fidelity models into Computer Generated Forces applications. MyBehaviour, is a COTS doctrines generator software created to enable training and simulation companies to rapidly generate doctrines in simulation scenarios.
VT MÄK, a related ST Electronics company in the US that develops software to link, simulate, and visualise the virtual world will showcase VR-Forces - a powerful and flexible simulation toolkit for generating and executing battlefield scenarios. VR-Forces COTS tools and toolkits are packed with simulation features for use as a tactical leadership trainer, threat generator, behaviour model test bed or CGF applications.
Intelligent System for Advanced Control CentresiSACC is a networked system that integrates all major information and control systems to help an Operations Centre function effectively. It can be best deployed for an Operations Centre that needs to manage mission-critical resources as well as crises.
iSACC would be suitable for use by an Airport Operations Centre. In this environment, iSACC synchronises all stakeholders and integrates the numerous functional systems already deployed for security, airlines, ground handling and immigration. Airports can now have real-time access to a comprehensive picture of airline schedules and airport resources.
The system will provide time-on-time comparison of key performance indicators, as well as asset management, video views, collaborative planning and decision making functions. The system incorporates an advanced decision support system that anticipates issues associated with airline delays or faults in any airport resource. It will recommend a solution based on each airport's Standard Operating Procedure, thus empowering users to make informed decisions.
iSACC will enhance the airports' ability to handle sudden capacity surges and crises eg. necessary shut-down of a terminal due to potential security threats and the swift diversion of travellers and airlines to other available terminals.
The system functions on the suite of GENiiE products developed by ST Electronics. These include secured Voice, Video and Visual software for real-time multimedia communication; large scale 'live' and playback video management system; digitally-shared map of the entire infrastructure with real-time movement and tracking of assets and personnel; collaborative and interactive information portal for monitoring and managing of assets; back-end simulation system that allows commanders to create scenarios to train operators in Control Centres.
