Meet DSET Official Tech Sponsor Bohemia Interactive Simulations

“It’s one of the centrepieces of European shows. It has a unique place, a unique concept, and a real community atmosphere.”

– Rusmat Ahmed, SVP Sales EMEA

is full-featured simulation solution development platform makes it easier for systems integrators and developers of complex simulation solutions to build and deploy their capabilities faster and at lower costs to serve the critical needs of their defense customers in simulation, training, mission planning, mission rehearsal, and wargaming.

Mantle 

is a custom–built platform based on proven commercial–off–the–shelf (COTS) components and expert design/development services for creating simulated terrain for training, mission rehearsal, visualisation, and terrain analysis. A Mantle installation delivers a cloud–capable custom terrain pipeline that works with your data, processes, servers, and runtimes, integrating with your existing terrain capabilities or delivering a full end–to–end solution from scratch.

VBS4 

is a comprehensive, robust, easy–to–use virtual training software application for combined land, air and sea collective training, mission rehearsal, and experimentation.VBS software is the world’s most widely adopted military tactical training simulation, deployed in over 60 countries and training hundreds of thousands of soldiers annually. Guided by military Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and almost two decades of iterative software development, VBS4 is, by far, the most capable tactical training simulation available. This is evidenced by its widespread use, including landmark programs like the US Army’s Synthetic Training Environment (STE) and the UK MOD’s Defence Virtual Simulation 2 (DVS2). In addition to the powerful capabilities provided by VBS4, BISim offers training courses, industry–leading support, and professional services to extend VBS4 to meet new and evolving training needs.

Model AI behavior: VBS Builder Edition includes the VBS Control Editor, which allows the construction of new behaviors for soldiers and vehicles within VBS. Using the editor, developers can create new behaviors based on custom doctrines, e.g., for emerging adversarial threat.

Control AI will now also be default in VBS4 24.1, which the company says is a “big step towards removing all legacy ‘game’ AI from the product”.

VBS Blue IG 

is a state–of–the–art, CIGI–compliant, 3D whole–earth image generator designed to support the full spectrum of land, sea, air and space use cases for collective and individual training. VBS Blue IG has been built from the ground up and optimised to create highly realistic visual and sensor scenes, with long–view distances and large numbers of moving entities on a whole-world terrain unbounded by resolution or detail.

uCrowds

uCrowds and BISim™ have enabled massive crowd simulation in VBS4 through an integration with TerraCrowds®, which provides predictable crowd simulations with best-in-class performance. The integration allows VBS4 users to conduct simulated training exercises in massively populated areas allowing customers to visualize crowd flows in simulated events like riots and evacuations.
