".... The Canadian Advanced Synthetic Environment (CASE) project will provide a nation-wide modelling and simulation network environment for joint, distributed mission rehearsal, tactics training, and force development.  The CASE project team will design and install Mission Rehearsal Tactics Trainers (MRTT) at select sites across the country.  Specifically, Tactical Aviation squadrons will receive six CH146 variants to provide virtual tactical training to front and back end aircrew.  Concurrent with MRTT installation for Tactical Aviation units, Rotary Wing Search and Rescue (RWSAR) sites will receive CH146 and CH149 MRTT variants for Flight Engineer (Flt Eng) and Search and Rescue (SAR) technician training.  High quality training in operationally focused areas such as threat and contact identification, threat avoidance, helicopter deck landing, search and rescue spotting and hoisting are critical in the SAR and Tactical Aviation communities.  (Head Mounted Displays) and (Head Tracking Devices) are an effective approach to providing users with an immersive, wide-angle view into the synthetic environment when physical space limits a larger solution ...."
