Past Work

Adversary helicopter and fixed wing training services to the USMC’s premier training organization – Marine Weapons and Tactics Squadron-1 (MAWTS-1). Services include academic courseware development and platform instruction, SME support, Air Combat Maneuvering (ACM) training and instruction in the Mi-24D helicopter and L-29R light attack jet, pre-mission planning, flight training tasks, post-mission reconstruction and debrief, and contract program management.

AVAT is a PC or Cloud-based software program which revolutionizes the DoD aircrew post-mission debrief process. It synthesizes state of the art technologies to provide DoD aircrews with a training and mission debrief experience previously only possible with large-scale, Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI) used on dedicated military training areas.

Initial pilot qualification for USAF pilots in the MD-530F helicopter.  This formal qualification course graduates qualified USAF instructor pilots (IP) in the MD-530F for the USAF/Afghan Coalition Advisor program. 

Pathfinder designed, developed, installed, updated and improved and supports maintenance of this motion base mounted, full flight aircrew trainer for the Coast Guard Armed Helicopter Squadron. It is also used by from time-to-time by other military organizations. The CG-AWT can be converted from the MH-60 helicopter and weapons to the MH-65 in a few minutes.

SimiGon provides all personnel, equipment, materials, tools and supervision, necessary to perform hardware/software and content maintenance of sixteen (16) T-6 Flying Training Devices (T-6 FTDs), plus a test bench, at the 558 Flying Training Squadron (558 FTS), JBSA Randolph, TX.

SimiGon is a key subcontractor to Lockheed Martin for the United Kingdom Military Flight Training System (UKMFTS), a streamlined aircrew training pipeline for the Royal Air Force, Marines, Navy and Army.

The OPSAT system was developed to demonstrate, through the operation a flying prototype, the feasibility of using contemporary image recognition and tracking of aerial objects in real time, and to provide timely avoidance maneuver directives. This was accomplished through the use of Deep Neural Nets and combining stereo and monocular vision techniques.

Twelve F-15E Mixed Reality (MR) training devices to support the F-15E Flying Training Unit (FTU) at Seymour Johnson. SimiGon’s MR training devices increase training effectiveness of Strike Eagle Formal Training Units (FTU) students by providing realistic immersive training, honing muscle memory and training in a cost effective MR environment, enabling needed practice hours prior to their syllabus flights and reducing re-fly rates.

Academic courseware instruction, pre-flight briefings, air combat maneuvering against HH-60G helicopters in the Mi-24 Hind-D helicopter, simulated Hind weapons employment against the HH-60G, rotary-wing tactics development, mission post-flight reconstruction and debriefing, and contract program management.

The DGS was designed, developed and delivered to the Defense Material Organization (DMO) of the Netherlands to provide aircrew gunnery training for helicopters of the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Pathfinder also maintains and upgrades the DGS. It is rented by the DMO on a time available basis to the Belgian Air Force and to the RAF. This full flight simulator is convertible between CH-47, AS-365 and NH-90. It repaid its initial cost to the DMO in 18 months.
