BISim at I/ITSEC 2022: Product Demonstrations and Program Schedule

VBS4 22.2 - BISim will be showcasing the latest release of VBS4, BISim’s flagship product. VBS4 is an easy-to-use, whole-earth virtual and constructive simulation and simulation host which fully supports a huge range of military-specific training and mission rehearsal use cases. The latest release includes many new features, ease-of-use upgrades and performance enhancements. VBS4’s 2D map has undergone a major overhaul, and now supports map streams from Bing, Google Maps and other online sources. VBS4’s visuals are enhanced with a variety of added features including volumetric clouds, 3D grass and updated global roads and buildings. A configurable RADAR and signal detector capability is now available, emulating a wide range of real-world device capabilities. And, a new VBS World Server (VWS) web interface allows terrain insets to be configured at runtime.

Mantle ETM - BISim’s terrain experts will be demonstrating the art of the possible in using the Mantle ETM platform to build a custom terrain pipeline perfectly matched to the needs of any sophisticated simulated terrain user. The demo will show a pipeline set up to store, serve, enhance and correlate CDB, 3D Tiles, Unreal and VBS formats. The BISim team can explain how this can be expanded to any other desired formats and how it can be integrated with customers’ existing terrain data and workflow.

Mixed Reality Arms Trainer - BISim will show applications of mixed reality with flight and infantry-based demonstrations using Varjo XR-3 head-mounted displays. Visitors can interact with the simulators firsthand and experience cutting-edge mixed-reality rendering techniques in the high fidelity simulated environment provided by VBS4.

Trailer Based Joint Fires Trainer (TBJFT) - BISim will support Immersive Display Solutions, Inc.’s (IDSI’s) joint fires training demonstration using ISDI's Trailer Based Joint Fires Trainer (TBJFT). TBJFT is a self-contained, mobile classroom with a VisionStation™ dome display that can transport JTAC training capability to an airfield or operating area. The TBJFT provides a full-spectrum of JTAC training scenarios, with BSI’s Modern Air Combat Environment (MACE) providing the simulated environment and BISim’s very own VBS Blue IG providing high quality visuals. The TBJFT will be located at booth #1087, very close to the BISim booth.

TerraSim, Inc., a BISim company, develops advanced software solutions to automate terrain generation. The company’s software supports export to the widest range of visual, constructive, and serious game runtimes in the industry.

TerraSim, Inc., will showcase a range of terrain solutions featuring Mantle ETM for enterprise terrain management, TerraTools for desktop terrain generation, and VBS Geo for easy-to-use 3D terrain editing.

Systems Engineering, Inc. is an international, knowledge-based group that delivers high-technology systems and solutions. They work with clients within the oil and gas industry, merchant marine, defence and aerospace.

(SEI) is a military contractor with over 35 years of government contracting experience. They are a leader in artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions for real-world combat applications.

SEI will demonstrate its ability to train an adversary agent that counters conventional operational plans. Visitors at the booth will be able to fight against a highly skilled active shooter at the show, which will force participants to adapt their techniques to overcome the enemy. SEI’s advanced AI agent is developed using BISim’s VBS4 and VWS technologies to allow training in geo-specific terrain and environment.

Kongsberg is an international, knowledge-based group that delivers high-technology systems and solutions. They work with clients within the oil and gas industry, merchant marine, defence and aerospace.

KONGSBERG, will showcase its new CORE™ Training Simulator, which enables the end user to perform highly realistic simulated training while operating the real PROTECTOR weapon systems. CORE™ Training Simulator uses VBS4 for scenario generation and as a synthetic environment.

Synergy 360 specializes in rapidly collecting accurate on-site measurement data to produce 360 video walkthroughs, floor plans, and models for indoor and outdoor space management projects.

Synergy 360, will demonstrate its Site Scout 360 capability to scan an area and create a digital twin, ranging from speed-focused to quality-focused. The generated 3D digital twin models can be imported into VBS4 to allow training to match the real-world job reality.
