While Googling around for information on AVCATT I found the following resources (these contain a lot more information about AVCATT which could/should be incorporated into the article):

• InterSense Military Case Studies (referenced in the article): contains information about products (hardware) used such as the InterSense IS-900 Head Trackers (see InterSense IS-900 Precision Motion Tracker).
• National Defense Magazine article (also referenced in the article): contains information about the budget, contractors such as Link, other background information, what AVCATT will be used for and where it is deployed, and _a lot_ of other information.

The article is no longer available (results in a 404), however there is an archived version available at: [1]. I also updated the reference in the article. -- Bruce ( talk) 09:25, 28 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Turns out the article is still available through nationaldefensemagazine.org, they seem to have changed their site structure and simply neglected updating the old links. -- Bruce ( talk) 09:27, 28 October 2008 (UTC) reply

• Training & Simulation Journal: another article in which the budget is mentioned ($213.3 million in contrary to $300 million in the NDM article, though that said "invested"), also includes information about the Apache Longbow configuration.
• MS&T Magazine article: contains lots of detailed information such as who is responsible for AVCATT (PM ACTT), also contains a couple of paragraphs about the role which "Gaming technology" is playing in creating these systems, the focus of the article is on interoperability between different deployed systems.
• NASA Scientific and Technical Information: information about virtual reality systems created by InterSense, contains a paragraph about AVCATT specifically.

Oh and if the article is expanded (with a few paragraphs of useful information or so) the following picture should most definitely be included since IMHO it perfectly displays what AVCATT is and its mobility . (WARNING: 1.5MB, 300DPI image). -- Bruce 21:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC) reply

The link to the image has gone dead, but thankfully Archive.org archived it at [2] (WARNING: 1.5MB, 300DPI image). It would obviously be cool to include it in the article, even if the article itself is a little outdated, but it's not under a free (as in libre) license (as described below). -- Bruce ( talk) 08:42, 12 September 2008 (UTC) reply

A while ago I contacted L3 concerning the addition of the image mentioned above to the article, I received a friendly response in which they allowed the use under the normal promotional material clause. They also pointed out several factual discrepancies in the article itself. I haven't yet taken the time to improve the article considerably since (though I might in the future), I'm leaving the actual response I received here for others that wish to improve the article. -- Bruce 22:56, 24 March 2007 (UTC) reply

Bruce,

The information on Wikipedia as it regards AVCATT is considerably dated.
Please note:

- I have attached a press release issued by L-3 Link Simulation and
Training on 1/29/07 as it regards the program's latest milestone, the
award to L-3 Link to build AVCATT suites 16 through 20.  The Army has
plans to acquire a total of 23 AVCATT systems.
- Silicon Graphics is no longer the image generator supplier and, as a
result, reference number one should be deleted. 
- The AVCATT MPEG video is out-of-date and should be replaced by the
AVCATT video you can link to at: http://www.link.com/avcatt_videos.html 

You have approval from L-3 Link to use the noted image to expand this
Wikipedia listing.  Please note the photo attribution should read: "This
is a copyrighted image that has been released by L-3 Link Simulation and
Training to promote their work or product in the media, such as
advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit."

Please let me know if you have any questions.  I'd appreciate being
notified when the changes have been made.

Best regards,
Rick Oyler

I've added some more info from the Link simulation and training website about AVCATT. Metiscus 08:02, 18 August 2007 (UTC) reply
