MetaVR has developed an enhanced version of the industry standard virtual National Training Center (NTC) terrain for use on PC-based visual systems. The terrain database is used for maneuver training and, with the addition of the Tiefort City Mobile Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) buildings, to train infantry for urban operations. http://www.metavr.co m/technology/ntc.htm l
The latest release of MetaVR Virtual Scene Generator? (VRSG?) contains features that support simulation in the geographic shore line region (littoral) to include the sea floor, water and coast line. Version 5 features include wave animation, sky model reflection, realistic underwater visibility, and sea-floor terrain compiled with bathymetric data.
Real-time volumetric clouds flight simulation using 60 centimeter resolution color geo specific imagery, 60 meter nominal geo specific elevation posts with a far horizon of 100 kilometers at 500 knots usinga geo centric global coordiante system in the MetaVR Metadesic virtual terrain format.
This is a real-time simulation of US forces just outside the Green Zone in a convoy driving through a dense urban area. The convoy has UAV's, gun ships, and a blimp providing support in spotting the IED's before they damage the convoy.
