It also includes expenditure on aircraft and aero-engines, heavy and medium vehicles, naval equipment, and expenditure on the purchase of land, construction plants and machinery12 13. The Global Military Simulation and Virtual Training Market 20142024The following are definitions of categories: Flight simulators are training devices that reproduce exactly the conditions experienced on the flight deck of an aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles Helicopter simulators are training systems (software and hardware) that allow the user to experience what it feels like to pilot a specific type of helicopter Maritime simulators are used for training, assessment of competence or demonstration of continued proficiency in maritime education. Maritime simulators basically are divided in four different functions: simulators for navigational (bridge) operation, engine operation, cargo handling and radio communication Combat simulators are training devices that help to train soldiers to use weapons, target systems, armored vehicles and missilesThe following are miscellaneous definitions: Network-Centric Warfare (NCW) focuses on the effective linking and networking of forces dispersed across the battlefield, enabling the real-time transfer of information to generate a clear situational awareness, resulting in combat effectiveness Asymmetric Warfare is a type of conflict in which a weaker force exploits the weaknesses of a better-aligned and technologically superior enemy by adopting strategies and tactics to offset its deficiencies. Examples of asymmetric warfare include guerrilla warfare, insurgency, terrorism, and urban warfare Command, Control, Communications Computers and Intelligence Systems (C4I) refers to an information system employed by a militarys top command to direct its forces. This system provides the military with information on various parameters associated with executing a strategy during a military exercise. The parameters include reconnaissance and surveillance, troop positions, inventory levels, and weather conditions. The communication system enables the transfer of images and video captured by surveillance systems, and data and voice between the command and control center. In addition, the system aids in joint operations between the Army, Navy, and Air Force13 14.
