MAK Fires - Simulated FDC

A demonstration of MAK Fires' simulated FDC (Fire Direction Center) using speech recognition technology for individual practice, so FOs can get in their reps and sets at the armory, at home, or on the go. <br /><br />MAK FIRES is a portable training system that delivers effective Call for Fire (CFF) training — wherever you are. Based on Call for Fires fundamentals, MAK FIRES is designed specifically to develop and reinforce skills for Forward Observers (FO). <br />FOs can train individually by speaking to the Simulated FDC (Fire Direction Center), or pair up with an instructor at their home station, or participate in instructor-led classroom training at their local armory.

NICO Introduces Marine Training

Hi, my name is NICO. I am a virtual avatar who can elevate your education and training projects. I interact with marines to help them hone their skills detecting threats, communicating, and making decisions. All this in a safe and controlled environment. <br /><br />This video shows you a quick example of how NICO can bring to life scenarios that Marines may encounter in the field. NICO plays the role of a scared and possibly hostile village person, to help a Marine learn to interact with the local population.<br />This is but one example of the roles NICO can play. Have a look as NICO explains how it works.<br /><br />Protected under U.S. Patent Application No. 63/548,706 filed February 1, 2024
