Orlando, FL. March 28, 2006  – Coalescent Technologies Corporation released today more details of its overarching pc-based simulation and training initiative, the Mobile Virtual Training Capability (MVTC™). The MVTC™ is a turnkey training solution that was designed to meet the urgent need for an affordable and mobile training solution that focuses on force protection and enhancing combat decision making skills at the small unit level. The MVTC™ consists of reconfigurable and deployable hardware and a suite of virtual training tools specifically designed to meet the training requirements of today’s deployed and deploying forces as well as the need for high quality, highly effective training tools that are lost-cost, and that can be quickly modified to train against emerging threats or new training requirements.

Coalescent’s MVTC™ has already proven its value as a training and mission rehearsal tool for Army National Guardsmen preparing to deploy in harm’s way, those currently participating in the Global War on Terrorism, and those called to provide disaster relief. Based on its training value and the overwhelming acceptance by soldiers, the MVTC™ and its core training software has become a favored training tool for small unit operations, communications, and decision-making. As the convoy and IED threat have escalated, these systems have become widely used for combat convoy training and mission rehearsal. In late 2005, the Director of The Army National Guard stated in a letter to Congress: “We have received numerous positive responses from Soldiers and Commanders…These comments affirm that it is an excellent training tool…we would like to provide this valuable training resource to all Army National Guard units.”
The training software can be added to or modified to address evolving operational requirements. The current MVTC™ configuration is:

• The Mobile Training Console (MTC) - Training system hardware, consisting of COTS computer components in a deployable transit case. Open it up, plug it in, turn it on, and start training.
• Virtual battlefield simulation software - Suite of software training tools that are installed and/or customized to meet customer specific training requirements. Current software suite includes training, rehearsal, and after action tools for Close Quarter Combat / MOUT operations, small unit movement and tactics, decision making training, and convoy operations.
• Virtual Incident Management System (VIMS™) - Virtual training and decision-making software targeted for the first responders (police, fire, medical, and National Guard in their State mission) as well and the Chemical Biological Radiation & Nuclear (CBRN) response teams.
• SINCGARS Training System (STS) - Hardware and software emulation of the SINCGARS radio and its operation to facilitate initial and refresher training for operators, maintainers, and incidental users.
• The MVTC™ also includes a complete training and maintenance support package thus guaranteeing functionality and support.

The MVTC™ completed an initial proof of concept evaluation and went into limited fielding with the Army National Guard in 2004 and 2005. The Florida National Guard Simulation Officer called it the “the next generation of Distance Learning and simulations training.” The instructors at Army National Guard Mobilization Centers have been equally impressed and several States have individually sought to procure MVTC™ training suites. Additionally, elements of the MVTC™ training software are extensively used by the United States Marine Corps for convoy operations and small-unit training.
