Lockheed Martin uses SimiGon Technology

Lockheed Martin says it will use flight simulation software designer SimiGon's technology in its new training computer programme.

SimiGon's SIMbox application will be used to run Lockheed's F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter training programme.

The software will allow F-35 pilots to use personal computers or laptops to learn and practise skills ranging from pre-flight checks to weapons handling.

Following the announcement, SimiGon's shares soared 19.5p to 77.5p.
