If It Can Be Flown, I/ITSEC Members Can Simulate ItThanks to the able guidance of the folks of I/ITSEC, especially their John Williams, the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference, Aero-TV got a good long look at some of the impressive simulation and training technologies being brought to our defense by military training operations.Just a few weeks ago at the annual I/ITSEC Conference, Aero-TV spent several days flying and researching some of the most exotic and impressive technologies in the aerospace world... whether you were trying to help pilots land Hawkeyes on a carrier, fly serious air combat profiles against dissimilar aircraft, or dock future spacecraft (that do not yet exist) at the ISS.This year's conference hosted approximately 16,750 total registrants, including over 4,000 conference delegates, over 9,000 exhibit personnel and some 4,400 exhibit visitors. 539 exhibiting companies staffed those in 440 exhibits, while the attendance breakdown drew about 3,500 government registrants (3,000 US, 500 non-US), and a total of 1,900++ International registrants from 57 countries.The I/ITSEC organization was brought forth to promote cooperation among the Armed Services, Industry, Academia and various Government agencies in pursuit of improved training and education programs, identification of common training issues and development of multi-service programs. Initiated in 1966 as the Naval Training Device Center/Industry Conference, the conference has evolved and expanded through increased participation by the Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Industry. In 1979 it became known as the Interservice/Industry Training Equipment Conference.Over the course of three intense days, ANN Aero-TV crews got an eyeful... a full gamut of military aviation and aerospace technologies... as well as some commercial applications (wait til you see what this crowd does with Microsoft Flight Simulator X -- WOW!!!). Aero-TV has a number of other intriguing stories about specific simulation and training technologies and/or products that were on display at I/ITSEC 2007... keep an eye for those exciting programs!ANN Note: By the way; this is the first aired program shot and edited by Aero-TV's most recent addition to our expert team of video journalists... the fellow who put this piece together (and put up with Jim Campbell for three solid days -- ouch...) is Jim Grosser -- and we think you'll have to agree, he did a heckuva job on his first official outing for ANN.
