This award marks DiSTI's fifth consecutive year as an MT2 Top Simulation & Training Company and the first year with "Best Program" recognition.

Of over 300 companies nominated, MT2 chose DiSTI among the finalists for its sophisticated human systems interface development, invaluable training services and innovative software technology. DiSTI received the "Best Program" ribbon for its technologically advanced contributions to the groundbreaking F/A-18 Integrated Visual Environment Maintenance Trainer (IVEMT) program. Specifically, DiSTI created the high fidelity virtual environment for the IVEMT, which is a highly interactive 3D visual trainer providing maintenance testing, troubleshooting procedures and operator training within a functional touch screen system.

The AEgis Technologies Group provided 3D model content from their 3D Elements Model Library for the iPad Military Simulation game called ArmedForceHD. The game was released on August 21 by Airborne Games, LLC, and is currently being sold and distributed on iTunes.

3D Elements is a Real-Time Library of 3D models optimized for the simulation and training market. The models are also being used by analysts for homeland defense security applications. While this is not the first use of the models in a game environment, this is the first time the models have been used for an iPad game application. AEgis 3D Elements models have previously been used in VBS2 game based training environments.

“We worked with AEgis Technologies on several of our models because we liked the quality and detail of the model they provided and they were flexible in providing us the formats we like to use in our game environment,” said Victor Gerth, President of Airborne Games, LLC. “AEgis had a wide variety of models to select from, providing us creative freedom while developing the storyboard and strategies for the game.”
