TEAM Orlando Capabilities

Research and Development

Team Orlando performs a full range of directed research and development (R&D) in support of training systems for all warfare areas, domains and platforms in order to maintain an expanding technology base, and transition research results to the warfighters. R&D programs emphasize meeting customer requirements, rapidly transitioning products, coordination with industry/academia, coordination between the Services, improved quality, and lower cost of products. Research needs are generated by new weapon system developments, by modifications to existing weapon systems, and by user requirements for new training systems and capabilities to satisfy specific training tasks. Team Orlando’s R&D programs are balanced between improvements in highly specialized areas of simulation, training methods, training technology, and providing direct technical support to the training systems acquisition effort to reduce risk and cost.
