Barco, a preferred visualization partner of the training and simulation industry, is pleased to announce that it has been named one of the world’s top companies in this field by the Military Training Technology magazine.

Annually, Military Training Technology magazine publishes a list of companies from around the world that have made a significant impact on the military training industry across the spectrum of technologies, including distance learning, live training, virtual and constructive simulation, modeling, gaming and others. An impartial panel selects the winners. Companies were selected based on various criteria, such as total military sales, innovations, and program effectiveness.

Barco was awarded the status as top simulation and training company as “world leader in high-performance, high-quality display systems for simulation training applications.� Barco’s systems include its SIM 7 projector series, which has been specifically designed for multi-channel simulation setups, and boasts features such as smear reduction and high dynamic contrast. It is currently being used in Barco’s SEER mini-domes for fast jet and helicopter training, and its new cross-cockpit collimated display (CCCD) for dual-cockpit training. Its systems are exceptional in that Barco designs and calibrates not just the projectors, but also the screens and mechanical structures. This leads to a greater degree of internal system harmony, and makes servicing easier for both Barco and its customers.

“I’d like to thank Military Training Magazine for honoring us with this recognition,� says Al Herman, vice president of Barco’s simulation business. Barco strives to operate at the forefront of developments in training and simulation. We want to ensure that our customers have the most advanced tools available to meet today’s stringent training requirements.�
