Introduction:
Major UK programmes such as Apache, Chinook, C-17, P-8A and Wedgetail are supported and delivered by Boeing Defence UK (BDUK), a subsidiary of The Boeing Company. Employing more than 1,400 people, BDUK also provides engineering sustainment and support for aircraft in service with the UK armed forces, along with virtual and instructor-led training. Leveraging our established defence business in the UK, and blending our local expertise with our ‘One Boeing’ global approach, BDUK is well positioned to support the UK with its current and future defence and security challenges.
The Gladiator Project will provide the Royal Air Force with a ground breaking training environment that eventually all Royal Air Force full flight simulators will connect into, providing individual team collective training using high end war-games. The environment Gladiator provides requires a continuously developing portfolio of 3D and behavioural models to provide realistic gaming entities within the simulation. The successful applicant will join a small team of modellers, crafting the 3D Graphic models and the sophisticated behavioural models for All entities used within this gaming environment.
