VT MÄK Authorised North American Distributor Of Antycip’s MyModels

Orlando, Fla., I/ITSEC 2009, December 2, 2009 —VT MÄK, (MÄK), a company of Singapore Technologies Electronics Limited (ST Electronics), today announced they have become the authorised North American distributor of MyModels. MyModels is a configurable high fidelity modeling toolkit (MTK) designed for the rapid generation of high fidelity models. The product was developed by Antycip Simulation Ltd, a subsidiary of ST Electronics (Training & Simulation Systems) Pte Ltd.

MyModels is a family of configurable high fidelity MTKs designed for the quick generation of high fidelity models in simulation applications. With one MTK, users can generate many models for their simulation applications. MyModels comes integrated out-of-the-box with MÄK VR-Forces.

VR-Forces is MÄK’s simulation solution for generating and executing battlefield scenarios. It can be used as a tactical leadership trainer, threat generator, behavior model testbed, or computer generated forces application. VR-Forces customers include EADS, BAE Systems Communication, Navigation, Identification and Reconnaissance, the Thales Watchkeeper UAV program, and Raytheon’s DD(G) 1000 program.

Having been MÄKs partner in Europe for more than 10 years we are very proud to have MÄK as our distributor for MyModels in North America. For us it is a very natural progression as the MyModels family of configurable modeling toolkits (MTKs) plugs right into VR-Forces and perfectly augments MÄKs industry leading CGF toolkit.

Michel PRONIER
CEO, Antycip Simulation

MÄK's customers have expressed a desire for higher fidelity models and modeling tools in VR-Forces. MyModels satisfies that need, elevating modeling out of the software engineering realm and into the system engineering realm. We're delighted to be Antycip's North American distributor for this new product.
