Virtual Reality for Maintenance
Virtual reality 3D visualization is used to familiarize military personnel with equipment.

Military Truck Driving Simulator
This a sophisticated, realistic simulator for training purposes. Several vehicles and various scenarios can be simulated.

Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) Training
LVC is an integration concept that incorporates live, virtual, and constructive elements into a single environment to leverage the best of each domain to minimize logistics and maximize training effectiveness.

Cognitive Avionics Tool Set (CATS)
CATS is a hardware and software framework developed by the Operator Performance Laboratory to assist developers of cognitive systems.

Quality of Training Effectiveness Assessment (QTEA)
QTEA is a tool that flight simulator designers can use to determine the optimal level of fidelity in a virtual environment.

Skill Appropriate Training Environment (SKATE)
SKATE quantifies skill levels, generates training scenarios, and provides a continuous skill-level assessment of disparately skilled trainees, teams, and units in a joint training exercise while maintaining the integrity and realism of the mission.
