Sandia Research Corporation (SRC) selected BSI’s Modern Air Combat Environment (MACE) combined with MetaVR’s Virtual Reality Scene Generator (VRSG) for its Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) research project.
Sandia Research Corporation (SRC) recently built a research test bed, called SimSystem, which monitors the behavior of participants in the roles of pilot, sensor operator, and data exploiter (navigator) as they fly missions in a shared virtual environment via DIS (distributed interactive simulation). SimSystem’s high-fidelity 3D simulation workstations are used by participants and their observers for a behavioral research study to evaluate human effectiveness factors involving multiple crews operating in the same battlespace. This research will be used to steer the development of realworld next-generation UAS interface tools used by the US armed forces and DOD organizations.
