The Virtual Employment Test Bed: An Immersive Synthetic Environment Allows Engineers to Test and Evaluate Material Solutions

Abstract

The Virtual Employment Test bed (VETB) allows engineers to test and evaluate material solutions in a realistic combination live/virtual environment, as well as the associated user performance characteristics. This program brings together current, state-of-the-art, ARDEC capabilities to form a user performance evaluation test bed where ARDEC designs will be evaluated under operational scenarios at any point in the system lifecycle.
