DiSTI Selected for Navy Ship-to-Shore Connector Operational Trainers

The DiSTI Corporation, a leading provider of HMI development tools and solutions, proudly announces its selection by Textron Systems to support its United States Navy’s Ship to Shore Connector (SSC) Operational Trainers program. DiSTI will be responsible for developing all classroom curricula and building the cockpit display panels using its advanced GL Studio HMI software development tool.

Textron Systems’ SSC, designed to replace the U.S. Navy’s legacy Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) vehicles, is engineered to significantly enhance the Navy’s operational capabilities by providing high-speed, heavy-lift transportation of equipment, troops, and vehicles from ships to shore, even in the most challenging environments.

DiSTI’s selection for this prestigious project underscores the company’s unparalleled expertise in delivering high-quality, mission-critical solutions for the defense industry. DiSTI’s GL Studio, known for its high-performance graphical interface design capabilities, will be integral to creating the SSC Operational Trainer cockpit display panels, ensuring they meet the rigorous standards required for military operations.

In addition to the cockpit displays, DiSTI will develop a comprehensive classroom curriculum for training the Navy’s personnel on the operation of the Ship to Shore Connector. This curriculum will leverage DiSTI’s extensive experience creating interactive, simulation-based training programs that enhance learning and retention.

“We are honored to be selected by Textron Systems for such an important program,” said John Hayward, CEO of DiSTI. “Our GL Studio tool is in use with some of the most advanced and demanding HMI applications worldwide, and we are excited to bring that experience to the SSC program. We look forward to supporting the U.S. Navy and Textron Systems in delivering a state-of-the-art training solution that will serve our armed forces for years to come.”

Textron Systems is a leader in uncrewed air, surface and land vehicles and services and support. This collaboration represents a significant milestone for DiSTI, further solidifying its position as a premier provider of innovative software solutions in the defense sector.
