In general, modeling, simulation and training (MS&T) refers to specialized digital media, interface technologies, virtual reality tools and integrated device systems for the purpose of training and human performance. Products range from interactive training devices to integrated, simulated environments and even physics-based simulations of real structures and events.
The Florida High Tech Corridor has one of the largest clusters of MS&T companies in the entire United States, with more than 3,746 organizations doing business in the public and private sectors, employing 45,737 and generating more than $2.6 billion in revenues.
The National Center for Simulation is headquartered in Orlando, which is also home to the University of Central Florida Institute for Simulation and Training, the Simulation Center of Excellence and two military simulation and training commands.
