Software Driving Next-Gen Modeling, Simulation, and Training
Today’s programs face mounting pressure: compressed timelines, increasing system complexity, and the need to train operators earlier. RTI Connext addresses these challenges by providing the data-centric backbone that unifies design, integration, Digital Twins, and training environments – enabling programs to move faster with lower risk and cost. Join us at I/ITSEC 2025 in Booth #343 to explore how Connext is advancing next-generation MS&T systems.
With RTI Connext, programs can:
- Accelerate model-based development with streamlined workflows across simulation tools.
- Integrate real-time data into hardware-in-the-loop simulations and Digital Twins for higher-fidelity training.
- Ensure interoperability across legacy systems and next-generation platforms, reducing rework.
- Deploy cost-efficient training using cloud-based and distributed simulation environments.
Connext eliminates the need for separate development and training infrastructures by extending the same foundation across the entire lifecycle. This allows engineers to validate designs virtually before hardware exists and reuse the environment to deliver realistic operator training and mission rehearsal.
Stay for the live demonstration! See how REGENT Craft uses RTI Connext to extend development into training. The demo showcases a Digital Twin of its zero-emission seaglider, integrated with flight control software, environmental modeling, and operator interfaces – highlighting how Connext powers realistic training.
Visit Booth #343 to:
- Learn how Connext enables Digital Twins and MS&T systems
- Experience the live demonstration
- Talk with RTI experts about your next mission-critical program
