CONNECTED23 is an event to experience, comprehend and understand digitalization and cyber in the Swiss Armed Forces. It takes place from 16 to 20 August 2023 at Kloten-Bülach Weapons Range. Cisco invites you to their “Heli Pad Bistro” to enjoy regional food. Loft Dynamics is on site to present the realistic cutting-edge VR Helicopter Simulator. Army representatives, politician and the public are welcome to enjoy the hospitality and to learn about the new technology for more effective, affordable and environmentally friendly training concepts.

Cisco was founded to connect people. Cisco laid the foundation for the Internet, developing the world's first multi-protocol network router in 1986.

We still follow this approach - our global reputation as a leader in Internet protocol-based networking comes directly from this core area of our business. Meanwhile, our range of offerings has evolved far beyond switches and routers. Cisco provides robust tools, software, and professional services in cybersecurity, data center & cloud, Internet of Things, and mobility, to name a few. We answer customer needs holistically with a platform-centric approach to ensure that everything we deliver supports customer strategy and delivers business value. Only a secure network forms the basis for successful digital transformation.

Training in the simulator protects the environment and prevents noise emissions. Another advantage is that pilots can realistically train for emergencies, which is only possible to a limited extent and with increased risk in a real helicopter. Additionally, compared to existing full flight simulators (FFS), the simulator allows for learning even basic maneuvers, like hovering, that can be applied with the same level of proficiency in an actual helicopter. These benefits not only save costs but also enhance flight safety.
