	QUICK FACTS

	Simulation controls and solutions are used as:
	Hands On Throttle and Stick (HOTAS) for fighter aircraft and trainers including F-15, F16, F-18, F-22, JSF and P-3.
	Hands On Collective and Stick (HOCAS) for helicopters such as Apache, Apache-Longbow, Blackhawk, Chinook, and SeaSprite.
	Gunner's and Commander's controls and solutions for tanks (M1 Abrams), Light Armored Vehicles (LAV's), personnel carriers (Bradley Fighting Vehicle), the new Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) and the Future Combat System (FCS) series of ground vehicles.
	Radar tracking and missile firing simulation controls.
	An almost unlimited number of other applications.

The military "simulation" market requires high fidelity and/or duplicate fidelity human-machine interface controls. In this market, high fidelity means the product is nearly identical to the original equipment in look and feel, while duplicate fidelity requires the product to have the actual look and feel of the original equipment. These controls are used to simulate applications in fixed and rotor aircraft, military vehicles, radar tracking, imaging equipment, missile firing and many other applications.
