Currently as well as working with various companies and groups producing support and mission critical applications for the military, Simtek Ltd® is creating its own game engine called Synision® which will power both military simulations and a full commercial release provisionally called "Tactical Reality" Working in collaboration with the USMC and other military organizations, the game is expected to be near release in Q1 2006.

Perfectly positioned and capable of delivering economical solutions using Industry standard and Off the Shelf Technologies, Simtek Ltd® has been very successful in leveraging on-going value in these areas.

In addition Simtek Ltd® has the expertise to be involved with the development of Tactical Sims, thus providing a complete range of capabilities. These have been demonstrated with our work on CCM (Close Combat Marines), and in our current TDS Projects. Currently one of the many projects CSO Simtek® is involved in is installing TDS's in the USMCHQ at the DoD HQ in the Pentagon.

Although a relatively new organization, Simtek Ltd® has many long standing and experienced Staff, bringing years of involvement in PC based Games and Simulations, as well as System Development and Technological expertise.

"We are aware of the keen interest from all over the World for the use of Decision-making Simulations, and we have the capability to provide them, not only for the Military, but any security based operation or civilian application" (Chris Bean, Director, CSO Simtek Ltd.).

Simtek Ltd® takes the basic functionality of a TDS (Simulation) and integrates it into a dynamic training environment,t with benefits to the Students, Instructors, Project Managers, and Scientists alike. Using the flexibility and convenience of the Internet, simple yet powerful environments can be engineered. Adapting the needs of the Real World to the Virtual World is one of Simtek Ltd's® greatest strengths.

In the Commercial Market, the demand for Strategic and Tactical War Games has never been stronger, and continues to grow. Players are ever looking for better realism and functionality, and that elusive 'Eureka' factor. Possibly the most important issue is the portrayal of real life actions and events realistically. The Simtek Team understands these needs, and is engaged in designing the systems and technologies needed to deliver the quality and performance required now, and in the future.
