CIPS Toronto Events

CIPS Presents a very special event April 22
Synthetic Environments in Today's Air Force
" ... a stunning multi-media presentation ... those attending will get an eyeful next Wed. night!"

Additional Seating now Available! Registration EXTENDED!!!! to April 21

LCol Rick Thompson, Section Head for Air Force Synthetic Environments, Canada's Air Force speaks about Air Force synthetic training system that combines existing defence networks, electronic learning content and delivery, and real time distributed combat simulations. In his address to CIPS, Rick will describe why the Air Force decided to strengthen synthetic training delivery, how the delivery systems work on National Defence Networks, and what the content looks like. Rick combines video and computer graphic images to demonstrate why these delivery mechanisms have become an essential part of the training systems used in a modern Air Force. Rick will concentrate on the practical "shop floor" application of synthetic training, challenges to overcome, and opportunities to participate in the evolution of synthetic environment technology from linear training to electronic performance support systems.

About Synthetic Environments
During the last ten to fifteen years, the Air Force has witnessed a tremendous shift towards the use of specially developed simulation equipment to assist in training our personnel.

The Canadian Advanced Synthetic Environment (CASE) is leading efforts to bring Canada's Air Force the best training possible using simulation technology. Learn about the tremendous improvement in the capabilities of computers, and the key components inside them, which has facilitated this incredible growth in the military use of modelling and simulation. Complex synthetic environments now make it possible to do battlefield visualization, mission rehearsal, course of action analysis, concept development, experimentation, testing and capability acquisition.
