TEWKSBURY, Mass., Sept. 17, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- A wholly owned
subsidiary of Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) has expanded its solution set
for command and control, homeland defense, surveillance and air traffic
management.
Raytheon Solypsis has released a new simulation and training tool --
Virtual Environment for Collaborative Training and Operational Readiness
(VECTOR).
"VECTOR provides the user with a simplified operator interface to
create real-world scenarios in a matter of minutes," said Mark Trenor,
president of Raytheon Solipsys. "With VECTOR, the user can design
coordinated simulations at both tactical and strategic levels."
VECTOR delivers a dynamic environment for developing and executing
training, operational readiness evaluation, and testing activities. It is
fully interoperable with all of the latest Raytheon Solipsys-based software
systems and incorporates industry standard Distributed Interactive
Simulation interface to facilitate streamlined integration with other
existing and future third party applications.
"An example of an application could be quickly creating a scenario that
includes pre-recorded traffic with specifically tailored scripts," Trenor
said. "Another use could be to take manual control of scripted objects to
create stressful situations for an operator to further enhance the training
experience," Trenor added.
