Navy and Marine Corps leadership previewed the Gruntworks Research for Infantry Integration Testing during a public open house at the Stafford, Va., facility, as part of the Soldier Technology US 2009 conference. GRIIT provides a realistic environment for simulating, testing, and optimizing the Marine’s equipment and is the second facility that utilizes an ONR-funded vivid and realistic virtual environment to prepare warfighters for real combat. The first facility, the Infantry Immersion Trainer located at Camp Pendleton, Calif., was installed by ONR in 2007.
