SoarTech is delighted to be partnering with Epic to represent Unreal Engine 4 in the Government and military sector. UE4 represents the cutting edge of game technology and, with a free licensing model available and full source code access, it offers a best of breed solution at an unmatched value. Further, this relationship provides an opportunity to leverage SoarTech’s artificial intelligence technologies to explore how UE4 can make our warfighters more prepared, more informed and more capable.

It all seems a little bit fantastic and makes us think of Kevin Spacey playing Call of Duty for some reason. Anyway, Epic has some great technology and it’s nice to know that US Government really understands what game engine it wants to use.
