Why is Calian Going to CA2X2?

The Calian booth will showcase the “Road to War” training and simulation demonstration of our comprehensive synthetic training environment. Visitors can learn about our full-scale end-to-end training solutions that deliver high-readiness, joint and combined training with live interconnectivity with NATO C2 systems and with MaestroEDE™, VCCI, Abacus, VBS and Sitaware HQ.

Jay Ballard, Calian Contract Manager for the Canadian Army Simulation Centre (CASC) will present a session titled “Training for Modern War”, examining trends from recent conflicts, including the biggest takeaways from the war in Ukraine and the Nagorno-Karabakh war. Ballard will address the effect of disinformation and cyber-attacks on military operations, the challenges of urban warfare and lessons learned from warfare in the 2020s.
