A Virtual Environment for Urban Combat Training

Abstract

Urban terrain is among the most complex of military environments and urban combat skills remain one of the most difficult to train. The Office of Naval Research VIRTE (Virtual Technologies and Environments) program is conducting research to enable Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) training for deployed Marines. This report briefly describes the initial development of a virtual environment (VE) specifically tailored to the needs of such training, particularly fighting in confined environments such as buildings.
