University of Iowa leads $1.2 million VSR contract with Army TACOM

The University of Iowa College of Engineering Virtual Soldier Research program secures a 12 month 1.2 million contract from the Army TACOM Center. The funding brings total Army support to 3.7 million for human modeling and simulation using gaming and animation to test soldiers and equipment before production. VSR director Karim Abdel Malek calls the deal a leverage point as the technology matures for military and commercial use. The program, now in year two, hosts events like the 2005 SAE Digital Human Modeling Conference in Iowa City and collaborates with the Army at the World Congress in Detroit.
