Their aims are to combine the technological advances of both organisations, for military personnel to be trained with the latest equipment and to reduce budgets. Louis Caldera, the Army Secretary, said: "By working with Nasa and its other partners, the army hopes to reduce its development cycle from 12 years to only three or four years for simulators to develop new weapons and to train personnel. "That way, when you put it in the soldier's hands, it is state-of-the-art equipment. We're spending millions of dollars on modelling and simulation, and here's another agency spending millions of dollars on modelling and simulation. Certainly it would be smarter for us to learn from each other and not have to reinvent the wheel." The programme will include collaborations with universities and the private sector. The focus will be on developing virtual reality simulators, artificial intelligence and high capacity computer networks. ===== <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
