Virtual Technologies and Environments (VIRTE)

VisiTech provides program management to ONR’s Virtual Technologies and Environments (VIRTE) program. VIRTE consists of three Demonstrations. VIRTE Demo I, Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare Combat Vehicles and Craft, is a two-year 6.3 effort to provide human-centric training systems for the future Amphibious Assault Triad, LCAC, AAAV, and MV-22. Participants include LMIS, BMH, SwRI, Chi Systems, NPS, NAVAIR, and NRL. VIRTE Demo I concludes at the end of FY 03 with an integrated demonstration at I/IITSEC and deliveries to PMS 377, DRPM AAA, and PMA 205.

VIRTE Demo II, Close Quarters Battle for Military Operations in Urban Terrain (CQB for MOUT) will deliver technologies for interactive immersive training for humans in direct contact with hostile forces and situations. The prototypes will be deployable and will allow near-real-time terrain data base development for mission rehearsal in real-world scenarios. Demo II began in FY 02 and it will deliver its final prototype to PMTRASYS in FY 06. Participants include LMIS, BMH, NPS, NAVAIR, NRL, UNC, UM, SoarTech, CMU, UCF, InterSense, GWU, NASA Ames, and VR Sonic.

VIRTE Demo III, Full Spectrum Combat will begin in FY04 and will deliver fully populated VE scenarios which include friendlies, hostiles, non-combatants, weapons and lethality/damage effects, as well as integration among all entities and federates that comprise the battle space. This will simulate warfare and enhance live training (i.e. fleet/field exercises) which are inherently integrated activities. The final deliverable to PMTRASYS is in FY07.
