KnowBook is a comprehensive, cost effective training solution enabling aircrew and organizations to remain in step with the rapidly changing demands of the military and civilian training world. An all-in-one solution, KnowBook encompasses all types of simulation, Knowledge Management, mission rehearsal, After Action Review (AAR), and time management.

KnowBook is the quintessential solution for organizations seeking to increase Operational Readiness (OR) and decrease costs!

Accessible online or offline for 24/7 training, install KnowBook on your laptop and make it part of your deployment package.

High-Fidelity 3D Simulation
KnowBook's high-fidelity 3D simulation bridges the gap between classroom training and the cockpit. Included in the simulation package are hi-resolution terrain, a Virtual Instructor, and full briefing and debriefing capabilities. Used for all training aspects - initial training, recurrent training and operational training, a KnowBook training session prior to a sortie ensures mission success.

Additional simulation features are:
• Dynamic shapes in the simulation for faster learning.
• User ability to define scenario special effects including weather, wind, time of day.
• Simulation Instructor Station (SIS) enables flight instructor’s direct control over student stations as well interactive guidance.
• Ability to create and modify simulation components.

Distributed Mission Training
The advent of network-centric warfare and C4I has made today's training needs more complex than ever. The solution for multi-ship training, joint forces training, and data-link training is KnowBook's Distributed Mission Training (DMT). Enabling multi-user training from remote locations, this KnowBook feature has become a mainstay in many training programs.

Virtual Instructor
As a personal tutor, the Virtual Instructor (VI) is a key KnowBook component to decrease training time and increase Operational Readiness.

The VI is a major component of the Training Center, providing pilots with complete or partial guidance, set according to user parameters. Used for instruction in avionics, weapons, weather and emergencies, with the VI, aircrew is assured of experienced advice and will be prepared for critical, high pressure situations. After flying with the VI, user self-confidence is bolstered by knowing exactly how to act, react, and execute accordingly.

The Knowbook family consist of AirBook, GroundBook, and MarineBook.

SimiGon's AirTrack® represents the next generation of Passenger Flight Information Systems (PFIS). It is successfully installed and operational on airlines worldwide.

Based on SIMbox advanced technology, AirTrack is a cost-effective, rapidly deployable solution for airlines seeking to upgrade their In Flight Entertainment systems. The system capabilities include: hi-fidelity, 360º 3D simulation views, moving maps, outside plane views, dynamic media, real time flight data and news.

The potential of providing advertisements and commercials to the passenger generates an additional revenue channel for the airlines and their popularity.

AirTrack's moving map system is based on satellite imagery presenting a "real-world" view for passengers. Additional system features are: detailed topographical maps, simulated 3D aircraft views including outside, cockpit, and of the right and left side of the passenger windows.

AirTrack is provided with an easy-to-use, PC-based software configuration tool. The configuration tool enables airlines a complete control, independently and rapidly customize in-flight content and upload sequences based on specific needs.

The AirTrack system works automatically with ARINC 429 & ARINC 485 without the requirement of human intervention and of the aircraft configuration. The cabin crew work and responsibility would be reduced and the system would enable continuous operation with protected recovery.
