Summary
NATO’s Maritime Interdiction Operational Training Centre unveiled their new, first-of-kind virtual training simulation at ITEC today. The new simulation improves operational capability of sailors, marines, and soldiers while running on Microsoft’s Kinect gesture recognition technology.
 
The new series of simulations, aptly named ‘MIOmoves’ (Maritime Interdiction Operational moves), was produced by NATO partners Engineering & Computer Simulations, Inc (ECS) and Caspian Learning as part of a NATO-led operational simulation project. MIOmoves is one of NATO’s flagship training simulations for 2013, and showcases the advanced training capabilities currently being utilised at the NATO Maritime Interdiction Operational Training Centre in Greece.

April 30, 2013,  Houston, TX -  ECS is pleased to announce that we were selected as an exhibitor at this year's first annual Center for Offshore Safety (COS) Forum held in Houston, TX. The forum was a two-day event on April 29th and 30th, 2013. Representing the company were Waymon Armstrong and Hayley Corbett, who gave the forum attendees a sneak peek at the Crisis Repsonse Simulation (CRS) developed by ECS. CRS is a web-based simulation that allows corporate leadership and key personnel in an organization to exercise their critical thinking and decision making skills during intense, multi-role, event-driven simulations of crises and disasters. 

Here are a few photos from our exhibit at the show

The Pentagon’s mandatory human trafficking course will be a testbed for an experimental virtual world for the Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) training system.

The goal is to test whether a virtual world is a more efficient delivery method than the current practice of using the classified SIPRnet and the unclassified NIPRnet and Internet Public Portal, according to JKO deputy program manager Marty Vozzo. The virtual world would be cloud-based and accessible over the Web.

The Combating Traffic in Persons course was chosen first because it is high-volume: all Department of Defense military and civilian personnel must take the training, which takes about an hour to complete. There were 36,000 course completions last year.

The virtual world test will be conducted in the spring, before final evaluation by the Office of the Secretary of...

September 10, 2012 - Orlando, FL  Engineering & Computer Simulations (ECS) announced delivery of its Interactive Multimedia Instruction for Installation Status Report (ISR) courses to the Army National Guard's Professional Education Center (PEC) in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

This delivery represents the first of a multi-phase upgrade to their existing training. Under the contract, ECS enhanced the traditional page-turner courseware with Level 3 interactivity, including problem solving of complex scenarios. ECS added the capability for the learner to interact with required, but cumbersome forms inherent in the ISR process. The culmination of the courseware was the immersion of the learner into a Level 4 engaging, high fidelity 3D simulation where the student must assess and record findings in a Government installation. 
 
The Army National Guard's decision to contract ECS to deliver this important training leverages...

August 2, 2012, Orlando, FL -  Engineering & Computer Simulations (ECS) announced today that it received a contract from the Joint Staff J7, Joint & Coalition Warfighting (JCW), Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) to translate the previously developed Cross-Cultural Competence Trainer (3CT) to an HTML5-based hybrid application that can be accessed through the Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) application. As a result, Joint Warfighters globally will gain cross-platform accessibility.

During the process, ECS will serve as the Mobile Lead Supplier and will work closely with JKO and other vendors of the JKO contract team to convert the existing 3CT course available on JKO into a mobile format. 3CT is a non-theater specific culture training course comprised of a military track and a civilian track including mission specific lessons such as humanitarian assistance/disaster relief and provincial reconstruction teams (PRTs). The 3CT Mobile course is a companion to the...
