MAK Technologies (MAK), a company of ST Engineering North America, is set to showcase its innovative AI-powered virtual avatar technology, NICO (Next- generation Interactive Counterpart), alongside live demonstrations of the MAK ONE suite of simulation software at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) 2024 (iitsec.org) from December 2-6 at booth #1213.
Visitors to the MAK booth will get an exclusive preview of NICO 1.0, an AI-powered virtual avatar designed to transform simulation-based training environments. NICO engages in lifelike conversations, interrogations, and instructions using both verbal and non-verbal cues, providing defense and training professionals with an immersive and adaptive training experience. With AI, machine learning, and augmented reality built in, NICO elevates virtual interactions to new levels of realism, enabling instructors and trainees to simulate complex human behaviors and scenarios more effectively than ever before. For military, law enforcement, and other critical training environments, NICO represents the next generation of interactive training tools that adapt to user input in real-time, offering a dynamic and responsive learning experience.
MAK ONE is a robust suite of simulation software, which provides the simulation framework for training and experimentation systems across the globe. For more than 30 years, MAK ONE products have offered stability and performance across training environments in every domain, including multi-domain environments. In addition to demonstrating MAK ONE’s core product capabilities, visitors will experience VR-Forces scenarios that show the scale and breadth of MAK ONE, from managing the airspace in a complex air warfare scenario, to close-combat multi-crew ground vehicle and infantry operations in dense forests, to wargaming scenarios and command staff training exercises.
Other highlights include MAK FIRES, the Call for Fire trainer for Forward Observers, as well as MAK’s Driver Trainer experience complete with motion platform.
“We’re proud to be a decades-long leader in the simulation and training community, and we’re excited to highlight both our legacy and our innovations at I/ITSEC this year,” said Bill Cole, CEO at MAK Technologies.
