[edit] History
SimiGon was founded in Herzliya, Israel by flight instructors. SimiGon began marketing its product AirBook in 1998 to air forces around the world[1]. Once the company went public in December of 2006 on the London Stock Exchange, it began to branch out and market the software application on which the AirBook was created. This was called SIMbox. SIMbox is a software platform, and therefore companies can use its architecture and rebrand it, as Lockheed Martin's NxTrain program has done.
On June 8th 2007 SimiGon led the slide of the Small Caps on the London Stock Exchange[2].
On July 9th 2007, SimiGon announced that the NxLearn Learning Management System, based on SIMbox, was selected for the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program.[3].
SIMbox has also been used to create AirTrack, a commercial use of the core simulation technology. AirTrack is an in-flight entertainment system designed to allow passengers a view of the aircraft's position in the air, what other passengers can see out of other windows, etc.
