BST Graphics Platform

Abstract

The SED Basic Skills Trainers (BST), which display targets moving over a background terrain scene, use a layer of graphics software we call the graphics platform to deal with the low-level construction of each video frame. The graphics platform used in the trainers fielded to date was mostly developed in the late 1990s and has limited ability to handle dynamic effects such as atmospheric obscurants and cannot perform continuous zoom. To overcome these limitations the graphics platform has been considerably restructured.
