Lockheed Martin released academic licensing of its Prepar3D® simulation software to immerse students in learning and problem solving. The special pricing of $49.95 makes simulation accessible to the academic community for engaging the next generations in science, math and social studies curricula.

Currently used for professional training, Prepar3D harnesses gaming technology for experiential learning. The software presents a realistic virtual world to support educational scenarios anywhere from underwater to suborbital space.

“Based on user feedback, the Lockheed Martin team continuously expands the performance and features offered in our Prepar3D® simulation software for the most immersive learning environment. In version 1.3, we’ve implemented several application enhancements and made fixes to improve the simulation platform’s stability and usability.”

“We’ve taken customer comments and suggestions from the Prepar3D Support Forum to make Prepar3D the most effective simulation tool for learning on the market. With Prepar3D 1.3, we focused on enhancements to the user interface, multi-player functionality for distributed training exercises and performance,” said Martile Allen, program manager for Prepar3D.

Prepar3D for professional use is now offered at $199.00. The Lockheed Martin Prepar3D Developer Network Program will remain the same. For a subscription fee of $9.95 per month, developers receive two copies of Prepar3D to develop and integrate new applications into the Prepar3D ecosystem. Details.

At this year’s Special Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC) held in Tampa, Fla., May 17-19, Lockheed Martin demonstrated technology and programs that are being used – or could be used – by special forces to prepare for their critical missions. Prepar3D, running on the Multi-Function Training Aid (MFTA), was a popular stop for many show attendees. Associated Press even stopped by and featured Prepar3D and the MFTA in its video covering the conference called: “High-tech Gear the Future of Special Ops”.
