Zen Technologies and Rockwell Collins today announced their decision to join forces in military flight simulation by unveiling a next generation rotary wing simulator at Aero India 2015.

Both the firms had recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to combine their strengths in simulation and training to offer advanced and high fidelity aviation solutions.

With the rotary wing platform launch, both companies aim to emerge, in the near future, as key partners to the Indian armed forces, they said in a statement.

The simulator is developed and delivered in just four months after signing the MoU, the company said.

The next generation Rotary Wing Simulator housed in an ergonomically designed cockpit is configurable and fully addresses both the flight and mission aspects of rotary wing aircraft. The simulator supports anytime, anywhere training and is a cost-effective, efficient alternative for pilot training in handling routine flights, emergencies and practice missions.

Zen through its association with Rockwell Collins plans to fill the existing gap in the flight simulation market in India, he added.

Colin Mahoney, Senior Vice President, International & Service Solutions for Rockwell Collins, said, " This is just the first step in our collaboration. We see tremendous opportunity to provide indigenous, affordable and highly effective simulation and training solutions to Indias defence forces through our alliance with Zen.
