CymSTAR, Inc
CymSTAR LLC is both an SBA certified HUBZone small business and a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) that specializes in all types of training device development, concurrency modification, and technology upgrades.The CymSTAR staff has successfully completed over fifty concurrency and technology modifications to training devices built by various original equipment manufacturers. In addition, we have designed and produced seven Flight Training Devices which featured the re-hosting of GFE full flight software loads. Successful completion of these projects is direct evidence of CymSTAR’s excellent capability to interpret and understand original manufacturer designs and to modify these designs with minimal disruption to the original systems. This demonstrated experience translates directly into lower cost, schedule and performance risk in training device development, modification and installation.

Instructional Design, and Modeling & Simulation: Provide instructional design, and modeling & simulation. Instructional Design is the systematic development of instructional specifications using learning and instructional theory to ensure the quality of instruction. It is the entire process of analysis of learning needs and goals and the development of a delivery system to meet those needs. It includes development of instructional materials and activities; and tryout and evaluation of all instruction and learner activities. Instructional Design is that branch of knowledge concerned with research and theory about instructional strategies and the process for developing and implementing those strategies. Instructional Design is the science of creating detailed specifications for the development, implementation, evaluation, and maintenance of situations that facilitate the learning of both large and small units of subject matter at all levels of complexity. Instructional Design can start at any point in the design process. Often a glimmer of an idea is developed to give the core of an instruction situation. By the time the entire process is done the designer looks back and she or he checks to see that all parts of the "science" have been taken into account. Then the entire process is written up as if it occurred in a systematic fashion.
