R&D case: Virtual Cockpit training demonstrator
Training devices that fit your training needs often require large investments and are usually type -specific. There are currently no training devices that allow highly realistic interaction between the pilot and cockpit instruments, without the disadvantages associated with expensive high-end devices. The Virtual Cockpit bridges this gap by providing the technology to do just that: low-cost and high-fidelity training technology.

R&D case: Flexible and scalable future training
The PC-7 training aircraft of the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) needs to be replaced. A Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and Training Media Analysis (TMA) were therefore done, aiming to provide a solution for the replacement of the entire initial training capacity. This training capacity needs to be flexible and scalable to meet the changing training needs in the future. As a result, the following questions should be answered clearly:

More space in the Defence Department’s future
By 2035, the Dutch Ministry of Defence needs to be a smart and technologically advanced organisation that takes action based on the best information. Not only on land and sea and in the air: according to the new Defence Vision, threats are also affecting the cyber and space domains. Michel Keuning, on behalf of SpaceNed, and Peter Huis in ’t Veld of NIDV are pleased with this move by the Defence Department and see an important role in it for the Dutch commercial sector.

The Netherlands launches its first military nanosatellite
According to the current planning, Virgin Orbit will launch the first Dutch military nanosatellite to orbit with its upcoming launch mid-March. This satellite is an experimental project which has been set up in a unique collaboration in commission of the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF). With this launch the Dutch Ministry of Defense (MoD) takes its first steps into the Space domain.
