We are known as the 'S&T Committee' or 'CSTA' (in our Portuguese acronym), a simulation and training committee under ADIMDE. We operate within the Brazilian defense industry by coordinating institutional initiatives to promote simulation and training businesses and services, aiming to strengthen said industry both domestically and abroad. ABIMDE is the Brazilian national defense industry association, which lobbies for the interests of the industry among the military branches, government, and society. The S&T Committee is its prime promotion afilliate for simulaiton and training within the defense industry.
