As a prime contractor, DAS has provided simulation-training development and design services for the Office of Naval Research in two areas under the Virtual Technologies and Environments (VIRTE) program. For VIRTE Demo I, DAS directed a project team in the development of the prototype Virtual Environment Landing Craft Air Cushioned (VELCAC) trainer – a PC based simulator that can be used for supplementing the training of LCAC Craftmasters, Engineers, and Navigators in vehicle operations and tactical employment operations. Among other successes, this effort leveraged DAS’ Apex technology as licensed to the government to provide revolutionary capabilities in the visualization of the ocean environment. Under Demo II, DAS provided research and design elements for a state of the art
