Battle Management Visualization System

Abstract

This investigation deals with the development of a software system to explore the concept of previewing Air Tasking Orders in a three-dimensional virtual environment. The virtual environment is created by displaying three- dimensional graphics images onto a graphics workstation screen or onto a head- mounted display. The software system, entitled the Battle Management Visualization System (BMVS), supports a variety of input devices to suit different situations. The user is presented with a miniature battle environment complete with aircraft, threat regions, targets, etc. The aircraft fly along paths and arrive over the targets at the simulated time over target time. The user may also fly along the path to create a plane's eye view. (jes)
