Systems Integrators & Prime Contractors

ACI EAI’s unique functionality allows it to be integrated into other modeling, simulation & training (MS&T) companies’ existing and future systems. ACI’s distinct capability creates an attractive opportunity for Large Government Systems Integrators & Prime Contractors to potentially partner with the company. Through a partnership, integrators and contractors can gain the value-added benefits of:

  • incorporating fully immersive dismounted simulation training capabilities into their offering; and/or
  • easily implementing future game engine changes and upgrades without incurring significant time and development costs.

An especially attractive market segment for this software offering is simulation system integrators seeking an engine-agnostic “plug and play” solution. ACI EAI™ enables interoperability between its simulation systems and currently fielded systems while avoiding the significant custom development costs normally associated with such efforts.

 

Benefit 1 Effectively acting as a universal adaptor, the ACI EAI™ enables the reuse of any current or future vendors’ gaming engine, 3D rendering engine and gaming content without requiring customized development work.
Benefit 2 The ACI EAI™ enables the use of the superior fidelity, rendering and realism now found in existing commercial gaming systems that until now was simply not found in military simulators due to the closed nature of their underlying engines
