The Airborne Augmented Reality Environment System (AARES) is a program developed on our success with the Immersive Training Environment (ITE) platform that allows users to synch in virtual space and train on complex tasks without risk to crew or assets. Virtual Reality (VR) is transforming military simulations/training and we have worked to leverage our VR knowledge and expertise from our mission rehearsal systems and crew training products to the static line parachute training world.
