Representatives from NATO shared their experiences with people, and explained how the training has helped the forces in saving lives of their colleagues operating in warzone.
The day also saw experts debate over a number of issues. While some talked about the importance of good DEMs, others focussed on the challenges of interoperability and standards. Meanwhile, the exhibition arena witnessed a hectic day of activities with exhibitors like Bohemia carrying out live demos of their simulation capabilities before the people. Companies like CAE together with Rolands & Associates (R&A) demonstrated a 'comprehensive constructive simulation solution' for joint training and wargaming. Similarly, MASA showcased latest versions of its two flagship products: MASA SWORD and MASA LIFE. This year, there are about more than 110 exhibiting organisations at the event.
