In order to create terrain for high-fidelity simulations used in military training, developers must find accurate source data, build to multiple terrain formats utilizing the same source data to support multiple runtimes, store the data, synchronize the data between customer sites, and adjust the terrain as required by the training scenario. In the past, this has necessitated complex and bespoke terrain development pipelines, and long lead times – but newer solutions are emerging.

Carlsbad-based satellite communications provider Viasat said today that it has set up a new office at the U.S. Armys Aberdeen Proving Ground, as part of its ongoing work to support the U.S. Army. The compa

The Afghanistan withdrawal and the consolidation of all in-country military networks to one base at Hamid Karzai International Airport illustrated unique challenges with direct applicability to Joint All Domain Command and Control and future Project Convergences.

The goal of the demonstration was to show how integrated technologies and joint connectivity can support warfighters by providing actionable data and increased situational awareness, the company said.

In desert experiments, Army races to develop tactics for transferring data — and realizes high-def video can create potentially fatal data bottlenecks.

The United States Army wants to freely send data back and forth from its legacy enterprise systems to the tactical edge, and Army officials said the key to getting there is mapped out in the service branch’s recently released strategy to unify tactical and enterprise networks and ultimately create a common data fabric.

“We spend a lot of time thinking about what is and what can be, and we spend almost no time thinking about what could be,” Murray said.
