US Army Small Arms Trainer Delivering a "Fair Fight" Solution

Designed to meet the small arms training requirement of the US Army, EST 2000 allows training of marksmanship, squad tactical and close-range shoot/don't shoot techniques, as well as small arms weapons skills. The customer required that this training system have the capability to recognize entities obscured, yet not shielded from gunfire, by soft cover - such as bushes and tall grass. It was essential that the application perform such that the runtime engine could support this feature and also highlight areas of soft cover within a scene upon command from the instructor.

MultiGen Creator's hierarchy controls made it possible for EST 2000 designers to group the terrain elements into clusters, which maximized rendering performance. This control of the database hierarchy and slice tools proved instrumental in getting the performance needed from the terrain files.
