The NOR Platform 2022 - The Future of Military Simulation

Metrea Simulations is proud to present an update to the NOR platform, including the new JTAC Trainer module.
The NOR platform is capable of simulating all domains and is focused on networked tactical training. The platform is using physics-based simulation with 64-bit physics and a high-fidelity recreation of the earth that is built using our NOR world pipeline. We use multiple layers of data to procedurally re-create the world in a beautiful and context rich manner. We don’t only show you what the world looks like, but also what it is made of. This enables deep and meanigful interaction with the environment for sensor modelling and other applications.
NOR is showcased at I/ITSEC 2022 in Orlando. Come visit us and fly the F-16C, EF-2000, and MH-60S in VR, and guide a networked F-16C to target in our new JTAC Trainer.
Metrea Simulations is a subsidiary of Metrea, an information age defense contractor based in Washington DC.

There’s at least 100,000 total DCS players and roughly 10,000 regular active players that would buy this. If you release it to the civilian market for $100 that’s a good $1M in revenue from the start, not including additional modules and add-ons. I don’t know how much your government contracts are but I’m sure a few million in extra revenue wouldn’t hurt :)

Military contracts pay a lot more. P3D pro is 350$, p3D pro plus is 2700$. A2A simulations stated multiple times in the past that they made more money of military contracts than they ever did with their fsx/p3d public products.
