King Crow Studios Wins US Air Force Contract

King Crow Studios was selected as one of six recipients of a $1-million contract from the United States Air Force for their training and simulation application. The contracts were awarded at the inaugural Simulators Pitch Day in December, part of the Interservice/Industry, Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC), which was the third and final pitch event orchestrated by the U.S. Air Force as part of their efforts to find and contract with companies that don’t typically do government work. King Crow Studios’ software will give Air Force pilots a virtual reality (VR)-based training program to learn advanced combat tactics, proper safety procedures and more. In August 2019, the company was awarded a $50,000 phase one grant from the U.S. Small Business Innovation Research program to design VR prototypes for Air Force training. The company had developed a similar software training tool for ExxonMobil last year to better prepare operators for crane lifts as part of the expansion project at the ExxonMobil Baton Rouge polyolefins plant. “We’re absolutely thrilled to be working with the Air Force on this project. The fact that they’ve reached outside their typical pool of contract companies to find innovative approaches to their training procedures is really [...]

Gateway Technical College celebrated the renovation and expansion ribbon-cutting ceremony at Gateway’s SC Johnson iMET Center on October 22. The expansion features added labs with cutting-edge training equipment to provide the framework for advanced manufacturing career skills.

Technology is driving the change in the way we live and work. We need to make sure we are ready to change with it, and this facility will help us adapt to that change.” The center expanded by 35,800 square feet, and 12,080 square feet of existing space was remodeled as part of the project. The center is home to 12 academic programs taught with some of the most technologically advanced classrooms and equipment in advanced manufacturing and Industry 4.0.
