| Metro Orlando is home to 100+ companies focused on modeling,
simulation and training (MS&T), which accounts for a large
portion of the total MS&T industry gross product nationwide.
These organizations combined employ more than 12,500 workers
(direct) and have a total gross regional product of more than $3
billion.
The MS&T market in Metro Orlando has expanded over the years
from being military centric to encompassing a wide variety of
industry segments, such as:
- Medical research
- Education
- Transportation planning
|
- Amusement thrill rides
- Public safety
|
With many cross-over applications, the strength of the MS&T
cluster has helped influence the growth of the region’s burgeoning
digital media sector. The chart below represents the convergence of
MS&T and other industries that bolster digital media.
Following the terrorist acts against the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001,
there has been great interest in applying MS&T technology
toward homeland security initiatives. The industry predicts federal
funding will be made available to explore new ways to use this
technology—such as training for airport screeners and command
center decision-makers—to strengthen security and emergency
management techniques across the country.
