Opti-Num Solutions held its Defence Industry seminar at The Hilton Hotel on June 20th. The aim of the seminar was to demonstrate the effectiveness of The MathWorks tools for the defence industry. Various industry leaders demonstrated some of the ground-breaking work being done using The MathWorks tools for the Defence Industry.
Shlomo Dinur of Denel Aviation showed how MATLAB is used for performance manual generation, and how MATLAB was used in a survey of Store-Release during flight testing of the Rooivalk attack helicopter. Simon Germishuizen of Grintek Avitronics demonstrated how MATLAB was used as a design aid during conceptual studies, calibration of components in the development process, modelling of systems for installation studies and initial development of algorithms. John O'Mahoney of Kentron told attendees about how Hardware-in-the-Loop technology has impacted on developments in their organisation. The last of the speakers was Heyns van der Merwe of Denel LIW, who spoke about how Opti-Num Solutions partnered with Denel LIW in providing a solution for its BlikSim Project.
Opti-Num solutions said that the presentations were outstanding and it was very proud to see the amazing work currently being performed by its clients.
