Virutech, Inc. announces that its Simics® virtual platform has been selected by Honeywell as a simulation platform for NASA's Orion crew exploration vehicle, America's spacecraft for a new generation of explorers.

Recognizing the capabilities and strategic advantages that Simics provided for their previous projects, Honeywell turned to Virtutech because Simics is the only platform able to provide an environment that can support rigorous testing while being flexible enough to evolve with the physical hardware. Overall, Simics provides Honeywell a collaboration capability for software development at least 12 months before actual hardware availability at a greatly reduced capital expense.
