Scalable Network Technologies, Inc. (SNT), the leader in wireless network evaluation, and VT MÄK, (MÄK), a company of VT Systems Inc (VT Systems), announced the introduction of Network Centric Forces™ (NCF), a new toolkit for creating battlefield simulations where network communications are a central component.
Out-of-the-box Digital Battlefield Simulation Package Provides Real World Representation of Battlefield Communication Effects
Network Centric Warfare (NCW), currently in development as a critical part of future US and Western allies’ military operations, depends on a wireless communications infrastructure that supports on-the-move communication. NCW has created the need for a new generation of simulation tools for training the modern war fighters that depend on these on-the-move-communications.Network Centric Forces is a comprehensive Network Centric Warfare simulation package that realistically models the interrelation of network conditions and human behavior to predict battle outcomes. NCF includes QualNet®, SNT’s simulation engine for predicting network performance, and VR-Forces®, MÄK’s toolkit for generating and executing battlefield scenarios - all the tools a customer needs to get their network-enabled battlefield simulation started quickly.
MÄK Previews Flexible New 3D Applications and Toolkit at I/ITSEC .Cambridge, Mass., December 2, 2008 VT MÄK, (MÄK), a company of VT Systems Inc (VT Systems), today previewed VR-Vantage, the company’s new 3D visual solution. The product is built on Open Scene Graph (OSG) and includes a collection of visual applications as well as a toolkit. VR-Vantage consists of the next generation MÄK Stealth, MÄK’s 3D information station; Vantage IG, a desktop image generator for viewing out-the-window scenes; and the VR-Vantage toolkit to extend the included visual applications or even build a new application.
VR-Vantage is terrain-agile, allowing customers to use the terrain they already have. Many 3D tools lock the user to a specific terrain format. VR-Vantage can directly load a wide variety of industry standard formats. It also allows users to compose terrain "on-the-fly" directly from source data, reducing the need for database creation tools.
MÄK and DI-Guy, a company of Boston Dynamics, today announced the integration of the DI-Guy product into MÄK Stealth and VR-Forces. Under a partnership agreement, MÄK has licensed DI-Guy for use in MÄK’s simulation and visualization products. This new DI-Guy functionality, distributed exclusively by MÄK, is available immediately at no additional charge.
With these new features, users can bring their simulations to life by populating their scenarios with more realistic human characters. Using the VR-Forces graphical user interface (GUI), users can select specific characters to add to their scenario from DI-Guy’s library of models.They can assign these characters animations from hundreds of motions that model human behavior, like walking or swimming. These motions are derived from live motion capture for a realistic effect. The DI-Guy characters and actions can be displayed in 3D in the MÄK Stealth and VR-Forces 3D GUI.
