History
[edit]SimiGon was founded inHerzliya,Israelby formerIsraeli Air Forceflight instructors,primarily with backgrounds in theF-16 Fighting Falcon.Its North American headquarters is located in theCentral Florida Research ParkinOrlando, Florida.
SimiGon began marketing its product, AirBook, in 1998 to air forces around the world.[1]Once the company went public in December 2006 on theLondon Stock Exchange,it began to branch out, and market the software application on which the AirBook was created. This was called SIMbox. SIMbox is a software platform, and therefore, companies can use its architecture and rebrand it, asLockheed Martin's NxTrain program has done.
SimiGon was also selected for several international training programs. On June 8, 2007 SimiGon led the slide of the Small Caps on the London Stock Exchange.[2]On July 9, 2007, SimiGon announced that the NxLearn Learning Management System, based on SIMbox, was selected for the F-35 Lightning IIJoint Strike Fighter(JSF) program.[3]
SIMbox has also been used to createAirTrack,a commercial use of the core simulation technology.AirTrackis an in-flight entertainment system designed to allow passengers a view of the aircraft's position in the air, what other passengers can see out of other windows, etc.[4]
In September 2011, SimiGon won a contract to supply the US Air ForceAir Education and Training Commandpilot training systems[5]
