CAE, R&A team up to provide comprehensive constructive simulation solution

CAE has signed cooperation agreement with Rolands & Associates (R&A) to offer a comprehensive constructive simulation solution, at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC), being held in Orlando, Florida, US.

Under the terms of the accord, CAE’s GESI command and staff training system will be integrated with R&A’s joint theatre-level simulation (JTLS) to form a new, federated constructive simulation solution, known as GlobalSim.

The JTLS and GESI integration provides a theatre-level constructive simulation to create a comprehensive federation that provides command leadership a single, realistic, multi-resolution view of the complete operational environment.

CAE Defence and Security Group President Gene Colabatistto said the integration of GESI and joint theatre level simulation will offer a more comprehensive constructive simulation solution for customers for training and decision-support.

"Our GESI constructive simulation software is used extensively by armies throughout Europe to train command and control procedures and help commanders make decisions at the battalion/brigade level," Colabatistto added.

GlobalSim will provide training and decision support for civil-military operations from senior management to first responders.

R&A president Jay Roland said the JTLS is the most efficient, cost-effective simulation system designed to exercise senior decision-making staffs at the operational and strategic levels of leadership.

"By federating JTLS and GESI to create GlobalSim, we will provide customers with an overall view of the simulated environment," Roland added.

The CAE GESI constructive simulation software allows commanders to train under realistic conditions while JTLS interactive, web-based simulation is used to model the joint and coalition civil-military operational environments, including land, air, naval, intelligence, special operations, and logistics.
