BMT to launch new training solution at ITEC 2016

Posted on 19 April, 2016 by Advance 

From developing high fidelity immersive Virtual Reality (VR), through to making sense of complex big data challenges, BMT’s software development team will be on hand to discuss the latest technologies and methodologies it is using to create innovative training solutions within the defence market. 

Simon Luck, Head of Information Systems and Information Assurance at BMT Defence Services comments: “ITEC offers a unique opportunity for us to engage with key stakeholders across the spectrum of training, education, modelling and simulation and demonstrate our capabilities and the value we can offer to the market.

VR is becoming even more prominent and it is key for industries such as defence to look at how it can harness and benefit from such technologies, particularly for the next generation of trainees who are influencing our technology rich world.

The recent launch of the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive brings the human back to the fore, and present a multitude of exploitation opportunities that can only enhance user experiences.”

BMT’s next generation training solution will be unveiled at the show where visitors to the stand will have the opportunity to demo the new platform. 

BMT Defence Services is an independent centre of engineering design, design support and technical services for defence customers.

The company is based in Bath, Fareham, Barrow and Weymouth in the United Kingdom. It employs over 300 specialists and support staff.
