For the first time, teams of up to 64 participants — mounted or dismounted, tetherless, wireless and/or POD-based — can practice combat and force protection tactics, techniques and procedures in a highly realistic simulation environment.
ACI IGS
INTRODUCING ACI IGS™
For the first time, teams of up to 64 participants — mounted or dismounted, man-wearable and/or Hi-MOD™ based — can practice combat and force protection tactics, techniques and procedures in a highly realistic simulation environment.
What is ACI IGS™
ACI’s Immersive Group Simulation™ (ACI IGS™) combines the realistic effects of computer games with advanced 3D virtual reality technology. The ACI IGS™ training technology system extends the proven benefits of simulator training to the individual group and team level.
ACI IGS™ is considered a best-of-breed open architecture technology that provides a fully upgradeable and interoperable hardware and software solution for training and simulation applications. The net result is a simulation system validated as a significant advancement over existing industry solutions.
What Makes ACI IGS™ Superior?
Several key differences make ACI IGS™ exceptionally unique and a cut above the alternatives available:
THE ACI IGS™ COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
| What ACI IGS™ Does | Simulation At The Individual & Team Level In A Fully Immersive Virtual Reality Environment |
| How ACI IGS™ Does It | By Leveraging Any Existing or Emerging Game Engine & Content While Still Being Fully Interoperable With Legacy Simulation Platforms (such as CCTT) |
| Simulation Training Problems Solved |
|
| Distinctive User Features | Allows Trainees To Experience:

How Does ACI IGS™Work?
The ACI IGS™ is a turnkey, but configurable system that is composed of the Engine Agnostic Interface™ (ACI EAI™), any game engine, Simulation Content (environments, assets, scenarios, etc.) and a Hardware Delivery platform. ACI either owns or controls all four components of the system.
ACI IGS™ Major Components
ACI IGS™Configuration
ACI IGS™ is currently available in three configuration options each with distinct benefits and applications. All ACI IGS™ configurations use the same ACI EAI™ thereby allowing users to tailor any combination of these hardware configurations in the same network and exercise:
