The results are in—we’re recognizing the top performers in the global simulation and training industry.

Military Training Technology is proud to announce the 2008 MT2 Top Training and Simulation Companies. The list’s companies are from around the world that have made a significant impact on the military training industry this year across the spectrum of technologies – distance learning, live training, virtual and constructive simulation, modeling, gaming and others.

An impartial panel selected the winners. Companies were selected based on various criteria, which, in part, included total military sales, innovations and program effectiveness.

The Top Training and Simulation Companies are listed in alphabetical order. Those that made the most significant contributions to the training community are recognized with ribbons. A red ribbon indicates a company that had been involved with or spearheaded a program of the year—programs that are revolutionizing military training. A yellow ribbon designates a company that is quickly rising in the industry and is considered up-and-coming. A green ribbon denoted the company leads the industry in military sales, regardless of total revenue. A blue ribbon signifies the company leads the industry in innovation.

KMI Media Group and MT2 thank the companies that submitted nomination packages for this year’s competition.
