Leesburg, 24 May 2007 - BAE Systems, a premier global defense and aerospace company, has chosen Noldus Information Technology to provide key software solutions that will assist in the development of the next generation of ground combat and transport vehicles. BAE Systems has developed a simulator to study interactions between the driver, gunner, and commander in various conditions. The Observer XT is Noldus' flagship behavioral coding and analysis tool. Utilizing The Observer XT and a vehicle performance data recorder (UDP Reader) developed especially for BAE Systems by Noldus, BAE Systems will study the vehicle performance in sync with various communications. This measurement and analysis set-up configured for BAE Systems represents one of the first applications in crew performance analysis and after-action review in training simulators. BAE Systems is using these tools in a program that is developing the next generation of army vehicles. Other defense contractors in this program include General Dynamics Land Systems, Boeing, and SAIC.

Noldus Information Technology’s flagship product, The Observer XT, represents the state-of-the-art in behavioral observation software. It is the integrated software system for the collection, analysis, and management of observational data. Used in conjunction with video annotation, physiological signal integration, video highlights extraction, and statistical analysis, The Observer XT is quickly becoming the best tool for human performance analysis and the reference tool for the simulator industry.
