HiQ receives new orders worth SEK 27 million from the Swedish Defence Material Administration IT and management consultancy, HiQ, has received new orders from the Swedish Defence Material Administration (FMV). The orders are worth a total of SEK 27 million and are for the development of simulators to train fighter pilots for the JAS 39 Gripen, simulators to train Hungarian pilots in connection with a leasing deal with Hungary, and new assignments in the fields of modelling and simulation. "This agreement is proof that our customer appreciates the quality and expertise we deliver, both in the development of training simulators and in modelling and simulation. HiQ has worked in these fields since 1992 and we are specialists in simulators for use in defence contexts," says Rolf Anderson, Managing Director of HiQ Approve AB. Training simulators for the JAS 39 Gripen are complex products and their operation requires both domain expertise and specialist skills in technical communication, integration and testing, as well as simulation expertise. "Three quarters of the FUS 39 (Flight Training System) consists of components other than the actual flight simulation parts. HiQ works on development and integration of all aspects of the simulator," continues Anderson.
