A new Synthetic Aviation Gunnery Equipment contract from the MoD will blend various commercial MR technologies to demonstrate a fully modular and deployable full helicopter door gunnery training for the RAF.
Inzpire has won a UK MoD Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) contract to develop a prototype MR deployable door gunnery simulator.
