Tek Gear wins Navy Contract to Supply Head Mounted Displays

Tek Gear announces that it as won a contract to supply the US Naval Survival Training Institute with high resolution, immersive, head mounted displays. This supply contract is in support of NSTI's Parachute Descent Procedures Training program.

All Navy Aviation Survival Training Centers (ASTC) are using virtual reality trainers (VRT) to teach parachute descent procedures. The VRT can simulate parachute malfunctions (i.e., line over, riser twist or blown panels) and also allows the student to practice steering the chute into the wind and toward a suitable landing zone. The response of the fleet to the VRT trainers has been overwhelmingly positive.

Product deliveries are commencing immediately and are scheduled to be shipped to eight primary installations in the USA.
