BattleStorm®, is a reconfigurable simulation framework on which to build multiple types of simulators, while retaining as much commonality as possible between them.

BattleStorm® provides the simulation marketplace with a low cost commercially available product that has the ability to integrate ground, air, infantry, and other training requirements into a single solution and be flexible enough to support those needs for the next century of training. It is an ideal solution for upgrading existing fielded simulator systems that may be outdated or building completely new systems with current COTS technology.

Fielded Systems

AEgis Technologies has previously worked with the United States Army National Guard in an effort to establish a maneuver training solution that utilizes existing training system components while minimizing Life Cycle Contractor Support (LCCS) costs. Since the requirements of the National Guard are different from their active counterparts, the focus on the solution was been low-cost, adequate fidelity, and minimal field support. These are the upgrades that are a result of that solution:

SIMNET is a large scale networked simulation system that was developed in the late 1980s by the United States Army and the Defense Advanced Research Products Agency (DARPA) as a joint venture. It consists of a fiberglass hull that attempts to replicate the actual vehicle compartments. Inside are the same guages, switches, etc. as you would see in the real vehicle. The original system required two computer racks: one with the visual computer that rendered all of the scenes and another with the host computer, sound processor, amplifiers, and all other supporting equipment.
AEgis Technologies has completed the upgrade of two SIMNET simulators (one M1 and one M2) to run entirely on COTS computer equipment using PC-based video cards. The entire set of computers fit into one rack and cost much less than the original equipment. The simulation has been upgraded to use AEgis Technologies' BattleStorm® reconfigurable simulation software and has been integrated with MetaVR's Virtual Reality Scene Generator (VRSGT) visualization software. This solution is much more cost effective than trying to support equipment that was originally installed in the 1980s and it provides the customer with a better support path for any future upgrades.
