Modeling, Simulation and Training
"Research Summary"

As the use of modeling and simulation in the private sector continues to grow, so does the need for more research and funding. Along with the continued spending by the military on simulated weaponry and training systems, it's no wonder the modeling, simulation and training industry is thriving. Contributing nearly $400,000 to five research projects involving five corporate partners, the Florida High Tech Corridor Council continues to encourage that growth. In turn, these partners matched this money with more than $820,000 for a total of more than $1.2 million. The specific projects completed are listed below.
