RSC’s Subsidiary
In 2006, RSC formed Night Readiness LLC as an outlet for the commercialization of its night operations training technologies and on the founding principle to bring training center fidelity down to classroom applications and costs. Night Readiness has deployed its simulation-based NVG instructional system, the Virtual Terrain BoardTM, to over 30 aircrew training facilities across DoD, DHS, domestic commercial markets, and international governments. The VTBTM 3.0 Training System is comprised of a series of Lessons, Scenes, and Flight Demonstrations which exceed all of the training objectives included in the US military services Night Vision Goggle (NVG) programs such as the Air Force Research Laboratory NVG Instructor Course and the US Navy / US Marine Corps NITE Lab program. In a VTB 3.0 classroom, a high performance, simulator-grade digital environment is interactively created and projected on a custom screen. Natural and cultural illumination, halos, gain, and atmospherics are combined to stimulate actual night vision goggles with levels of realism unequaled in traditional simulation devices. The resulting imagery, when viewed on the screen, appears as a visible and photo-realistic night scene. However, when viewing through night vision goggles, the student experiences an immersive night operational environment combining realistic NVG and look-under unaided viewing which provide the foundation for the efficient delivery of focused initial and refresher NVG training curriculum.
