Virtual Reality System Trains Air Crews to React to Threats

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Virtual Reality System Trains Air Crews to React to Threats

Threat reaction training of air crews is a critical factor in protecting aircraft and crews from ground-based missiles and other weapons. To help provide this training, GTRI researchers are working with the 189th Airlift Wing (AW) of the Arkansas National guard to develop a high-fidelity immersive multi-player simulation of the battle airspace known as FITRE.
