ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 27 (UPI) -- Science Applications International Corp. announced plans to demonstrate war-gaming and other defense-related simulations at a security conference in Florida.

The announced demonstration of defense, law enforcement and security solutions by engineering, systems integration and technical services provider SAIC will be shown at the 2007 Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference.

"This cohesive, integrated demo showcases our ability to quickly develop solutions that respond to the time-urgent needs of the war fighter," Beverly Seay, SAIC senior vice president and business unit general manager, said in a statement. "Our application of our customer life-cycle architecture methodology has provided meaningful solutions and services in a highly responsive and cost-effective fashion."

"Our demonstration begins with an embedded correspondent reporting on a routine route-clearing mission in advance of a medical civil action program. While stopped to investigate a potential roadside IED (improvised explosive device), a rocket propelled grenade explodes and the route-clearing team finds itself under attack by insurgents," said David Rees, SAIC senior vice president and business development director of the analysis, simulations, systems engineering and training business unit.

"SAIC's simulated environment includes geo-specific terrain, detailed modeling of friendly, neutral and opposing forces, and timely and realistic threats that could impact our troops. The technology underlying the demo is a composition of numerous systems built using a diverse set of elements, including operating systems and image-generation systems."
