VirTra continues to expand its integration capabilities and portfolio with new integrations for the data analytics platform APEX and the robot target HEKTR. This adds to its existing integrations with VBS4 and Unity. To further grow its integration capability, VirTra added team members with extensive experience in military modeling and simulation. 

APEX for Data Analytics

 VirTra simulators can now leverage APEX to provide immediate and actionable training insights for trainees to accelerate training effectiveness. This enables trainees to achieve improved outcomes even in the same training session. APEX also provides trending analysis and high level reports for instructors and leaders. APEX is a data analytics and training intelligence platform that enables trainees, instructors, and decision makers with little or no data analytics experience to quickly and easily gain actionable insights from their training data. APEX is a dynamic, scalable, and customizable tool that can be integrated and extended for customers with advanced data analytics needs. 

Innovative Blended Training with HEKTR

VirTra used an innovative integration for the robot target HEKTR to demonstrate a blended training environment which creates more engaging and realistic training scenarios. The integration was a collaboration between VirTra, the Air Force Research Lab, and Wright State University. The existing VirTra integration with VBS4 was used to quickly and efficiently build the solution which demonstrates VirTra’s ability to cost effectively integrate across systems to support new training capabilities.

New Team Members

VirTra welcomed new team members with extensive experience in military simulation and training. They have contributed to well-known simulation and training programs like AVCATT, CCTT, OneSAF, DVTE, and Games For Training (GFT). The additional experience will enable VirTra to successfully deliver larger and more complex integrations.
