What is JTSAC?
Joint Training Simulation Analysis Center
(JTSAC) is an academic center with specialization
in CAX OA founded in 2006 with the support of
NATO, EU, Bulgarian Government Bulgarian
Academy of Science.
Mission Be a key partner of the integrated
security sector institutions planning and
analysis process with the help of OA
CAX. Vision With high-professional team to
support the complete life cycle of OA
CAX Strategy Knowledge Technology integration
for better education training

Human Factor Analysis
HFTT - Human Factor Tests and Training
1. Monitoring the attention level in the moment
of execution of computer generated exercises and
simulations. 2. Achieving self-control in the
moment of important decision making and critical
situations. 3. To lower the posttraumatic
stress.
