VBEdit- Defense

With increased importance of modeling and simulation, and a constantly growing usage of simulation systems, the demand for digital terrain databases is growing even faster. Additionally, these databases must become available signifi cantly faster than in the past, ideally maintainable by daily updates.

The requirements for such terrain databases typically depend on the application: for basic training a generic database or a database of a home live-training range may be sufficient. For complex mission training or a mission rehearsal phase, a highly detailed geo-typical database with geo-specific insets will be required.

Having relevant, up-to-date terrain databases available will allow to gain the following benefits

optimized use of training sites and firing ranges due to simulated excercises
preparation for geographical and cultural environments
planning and operation of mobile infrastructure like field camps, supply sites etc.
planning and analysis of routes, optimization of logistical processes

Modify and update your digital terrain databases to reflect aspects and events like:

damages due to combat, movement of civil & military units, moving orrepositioning of infrastructures, firing positions, HQs etc
environmental changes due to natural desasters, changes of building structure, road conditions etc.

The more accurate and up-to-date the terrain data bases are, the better the mission preparation will be. To keep up with the ever changing demands of a highly versatile operational reality, you require a tool just as adaptable but still being quick and easy to use.

Your benefits

VB-Edit is a full ‘What You See Is What You Get’ (WYSIWYG) editing system for the fast creation and optimization of complex and most-realistic VBS3 mission environments.

VB-Edit enables you to populate and update your VBS3 terrain database with a variety of 3D-Objects, roads, environmental effects and even terrain adjustments.

VB-Edit is closely linked into VBS3 and allows using the internal simulation functions and parameters of VBS3 additionally to the ones VB-Edit provides. Therefore you benefi t from a permanent verification of your ‘in-progress’ database, and insure that the result will fit your specific needs. All this saves your time, and avoids usual rendering and exporting efforts.

VB-Edit supports all VBS3 internal controls and allows you to modify environmental conditions like weather, day time and many other conditions.

Your advantages

VB-Edit and its unique concept and layout provides you with a variety of tools generate quick results.

Potential problems can be identified and eliminated early in the preperation of a simulation and not during a live exercise.

The whole object library of VBS3 is available when using VB-Edit. This includes custom-made or specifi cally designed objects and vehicles.

All objects maintain their original capability and behavior. A tree still remains an obstacle for a car, though this is not true for a tank. A tank is still not capable of crossing a forest, although he can overcome individual trees.

VB-Edit is a tool box that allows fast and flexible change of 3D terrain without any specific knowledge of programming required.

fast and intuitive creation of complex, realistic and specific VBS3 mission environments
Visibility analysis, line-of-sight analysis, usage of free maneuverable cameras with views from any vehicle and entity
test of road conditions by using simulated vehicles or weapon systems
analysis of weapon effectiveness

Your results

VB-Edit provides a significant number of tools for optimized, flexible and fast positioning of objects within a 3D terrain for VBS3 based simulation systems. The functionality allows fast placing along path or filling complete areas with objects like vegetation or buildings.

VB-Edit is designed to minimize the amount of time and resources necessary to populate a 3D environment. The results speak for themselves.
