CBCTS Chosen as Finalist in I/ITSEC Serious Games Showcase
November 12, 2009. Orlando, Fla. The U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) STTC and Engineering and Computer Simulations (ECS) announced today that “Computer Based Corpsman Training System” was chosen as a finalist in the 2009 Serious Games Showcase & Challenge. The showcase occurs at the world’s largest simulation conference later this year in early December. As a finalist, “Computer Based Corpsman Training System” will be featured at the Serious Game Showcase & Challenge in the pavilion at the Interservice/Industry Training Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC).
The game, developed for the Marine Corps, builds on an earlier Army combat casualty care game. The new game adds functionality and assessment and allows Marines to tailor missions, and create new scenarios to provide Marines realistic training. “This new game incorporates new research technology and provides our users with more capabilities to customize scenarios and perform feedback to ensure even better training,” said Beth Pettitt, the RDECOM STTC program manager.
The Marines are already evaluating the Computer Based Corpsman Training System. Having been selected as part of the prestigious I/ITSEC serious games showcase will provide additional opportunities for feedback. I/ITSEC is scheduled for Nov. 30-Dec. 3 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.
ECS President, Waymon Armstrong said, “ECS is constantly seeking out the most effective, efficient and innovative technologies so that we can pass along these advancements to our customers. We are pleased that the CBCTS was selected as a contender for this prestigious competition at I/ITSEC.”
