With VINCI's CODEX simulation authoring tool, AF National Guard Units can enable effective training that is currently impossible for reservists at an affordable cost. With a team experienced in 3D modeling and game development, VINCI has already proven the efficacy of similar tools by enabling effective MX training for certain Army units. Lastly, commercialization potential is high with interest from the energy and mining industries.

VINCI is bringing its CODEX Virtual Reality content creation platform to Air Force training. Currently, operational units face limited aircraft availability, and instructional units struggle with outdated simulators and instructional aircraft. CODEX will enable airmen to not only receive highly realistic hands-on training without the need of real aircraft and physical simulators, but also enable AF instructors to directly update their simulations at low costs. The Phase II test of the CODEX VR platform will determine if it can both solve training problems across the training pipeline and ensure AF training stays up to date with a rapidly changing world.
