RVD



Raydon

2001: RVD: Raydon's Virtual Driver undergoes transition to BARE
2002: RVD1W: RVD adds realistic inclement weather support and higher graphics performance than competitors, powered by the new generation of the BARE API.
RESULT: Lower cost to our customers due to unbundling of hardware and software.  Higher reliability due to standard, not proprietary hardware.

2003: Raydon introduces StreetSmart: a unique simulator/trainer far surpassing the competition for both realism and overall training value. With configurable XML based scoring rules developed with ADTSEA and based on their nationally accredited curriculum, with visuals powered by the stunning reality of DX9-based BARE V5.1.
2004: StreetSmart V3.0 is released, enabling Raydon's NDX3 3 channel, economical but high performance 140 degree driver trainer for novice drivers (ADTSEA curriculum), powered by BARE V5.2 with combined local and networked mode support (one computer acts as host for visuals, while being a visual itself).  At this writing, over 50 SteetSmart systems are fielded and training students.
2005: At I/ITSEC 2005, Raydon introduces an upgraded STREETReady (previously StreetSmart) curriculum powered by BARE-DI and featuring the simulation industry's best animated human character solution.
RESULT: A new Simulation Trainer that is realistic enough and economical enough to form the basis of the first and only nationally accredited and universally deployed Simulation-based driver education curriculum.

AFIST XXI

2001: AFIST XXI: interim system (Abrams Full-Crew Interactive Skills Trainer) an upgrade of the National Guard's M1/M1A1 Appended training system, offering never before seen levels of price/performance and reliability based on the use of BARE and standard 2U computer-based Visual Systems.
2003: AFIST XXI GAT software fielded.  Side-by-side comparison shows PC-IG using BARE to be superior in both visual quality and performance to proprietary systems costing 3 times as much.
RESULT: the lowest cost M1/M1A1 precision gunnery appended trainer to date.

Linebacker TTT

2001: LINEBACKER-M6 TTT: an upgrade to the older Linebacker trainer, awarded and fielded as part of the US Army STRICOM STOC contract.  At first, technical overruns threatened to severely limit the performance of the system.  Raydon suggested use of BARE in order to deliver a more powerful system than proposed without increasing cost for additional/proprietary hardware.
RESULT: Trainer delivered within original cost with much higher performance than originally proposed.

SIMNET

2002: SIMNET Upgrade: an upgrade to the National Guard's SIMultation NETwork systems for 4 M1A1s and 4 M2 Bradleys, with much better training capability than the original SIMNET system, and capabilities rivaling the requirements of systems costing much more.
2003: M1 SIMNET system fielded to Pennsylvania National Guard.  The uncompromising quality of BARE visuals means training at a level never before possible.
2003: M2 SIMNET upgrade - 4 systems fielded to Pennsylvania National Guard.  Customer comment: "...a remarkable job".  M2 SIMNET features thermal information newly added to the SIMNET database, taking advantage of BARE's instant daylight / thermal switching, and runs at a constant 30Hz.
2003: SIMNET Systems delivered to Vermont National Guard included 4 M1A1's and 1 M2 Bradley unit.  The system is AAR'ed by OneSAF and Raydon's own Stealth product, BAREView.
RESULT: New capabilities deliver better training value for the customer, with low cost and high reliability, and without proprietary hardware.

AB-FIST

2002: AB-FIST (Advanced Bradley Full-Crew Interactive Skills Trainer), bringing AFIST XXI functionality to the M2 / ODS community.
2003: AB-FIST Phase 1 (interim release), the new BARE-based FIST, was fielded.
RESULT: the lowest cost M2 / ODS Bradley gunnery trainer available.

Raydon's Tabletop Trainers

2002: Raydon's economical and compact tabletop systems, bringing precision gunnery training to levels of economy never before seen and providing worldwide rapid deployability, enabled by the inexpensive BARE Visuals API and commercially available graphics cards.
2003: BARE powers Raydon's higher fidelity trainer, the TFT series.
RESULT: M1/M1A1 & M2 training available in vastly increased quantity, resulting in added force readiness.  Pictured are two M1A1 trainers, capable of being packaged in a single case for easy transport.  For more information on Raydon's growing tabletop product line, visit www.tabletop-training.com .

Raydon VCOT

2004: BARE V5 drives Raydon's recent Virtual Convoy Operations Trainer, a system specifically designed by Raydon and the National Guard to meet the deployed soldier's need for HMMWV Convoy training in the Contemporary Operational Environment.  VCOT also features the use of BAREView V3.0, Raydon's DIS/HLA Stealth product.
