In the spring of 2003, Techrizon subcontracted with the University of Southern California (USC) to provide consulting services and subject matter experts (SME) for the Joint Fires and Effects Trainer System (JFETS). Currently Techrizon has contracted with the Government to provide system support to include; writing requirements document, developing training tools, operating the modules, maintaining computer hardware/software and overall management of the facility.

The JFETS simulator combines Virtual Reality (VR) and environmental conditions into an immersive training experience to give the soldier, sailor, airman or marine a feeling of suspension of disbelief. That is, make the student think he/she is somewhere they aren’t. The observer trains on tactical tasks and develop exceptional cognitive decision making capabilities, whether training in open and rolling terrain or in urban terrain.

The experience is active, as opposed to passive, and is being used to train military members as Joint Fires Observers (JFO). The simulator manipulates visual and physical space to give observers the experience of being in and surrounded by a specific environment that can be easily reconfigured. JFETS is the only training virtual simulator that prepares students for actual combat conditions.

The facility is located at I-SEE-O Hall, Building 3040, Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The simulator is comprised of four different modules. Each module can be trained on independently or simultaneously.
