Responding to a call from ONR, the Naval Information Warfare Centre (NIWC) Pacific, advised by London Tech Bridge, selected Kilo’s advanced product for conversion into the Virtual Bridge and Navigational Trainer (VIBRaNT).

The role of London Tech Bridge must be acknowledged for identifying VASCO as a COTS product that could be re-versioned at minimal cost and provide an operational solution for the US Navy.

Kilo MD, Andy Parkin, stated: "This is an incredible privilege to support NIWC Pacific as they realise their project ambitions of evaluating VR Navigational simulation. With a demonstrable track record of delivering commercial maritime training via VASCO, the opportunity to extend the capability to the US Navy is very exciting for all the team here at Kilo."
