ACI announces a new groundbreaking wireless simulation hardware platform: TrainAsYouFight™
Orlando, Florida - November 30, 2010 - ACI, an industry leading provider of virtual reality immersive group simulation solutions for government and military applications, announces the award of a $2.3MM contract for acquisition of 10 TrainAsYouFight™ simulation systems by the Hawaii Army National Guard.
ACI, a HUBZone company with a GSA schedule, is the prime contractor in this third delivery of this growing pilot program that represents a $4.5M investment to date. This program has successfully trained over one thousand soldiers at the 13-station facility at the 29th Infantry Division Brigade Combat Team Headquarters at Kalaeloa, Hawaii.
ACI’s pilot installation of the Immersive Group Simulation system in 2008 marked the first time a state National Guard unit employed dismounted infantry simulation powered by gaming technology as an integrated feature of the training curriculum. ACI’s Chief Executive Officer, Laurent Scallie, added ‘We are excited and honored to have the opportunity to continue preparing the Hawaii Guard’s soldiers for the battlefield. I am confident this acquisition will further that goal with the best infantry simulation technology available today that is the result of over $10M of R&D by ACI’.
