A team of NSIN students from the University of Central Florida (UCF) have developed a solution to prepare soldiers for electronic warfare (EW) through a virtual training environment that provides simulated scenarios along with training insights and feedback. The team devised the solution with the help of the U.S. Army Cyber School. As challenge winners, the students will represent the U.S. Army Central Command (USARCENT) at U.S. Central Command’s (CENTCOM) Innovation Oasis II on May 25.
