What is VBS1?

• VBS1 is a fully interactive, three-dimensional
  training application providing a premium
  synthetic environment in which small unit tactics
  may be practiced among team members.
  Photo-realistic terrain, user-definable mission
  scenarios, specialized response tools and
  tactics, and variable environmental conditions
  enhance the team training experience.

4
What is VBS1?

• Offers realistic battlefield simulations and the
  ability to operate a myriad of land, sea and air
  vehicles across vast outdoor terrains.
  Instructors may create virtually any imaginable
  combat scenario and then engage the simulation
  from multiple viewpoints.

5
What is VBS1?

• The advanced squad-management system enables
  participants to efficiently issue orders to squad
  members as well as coordinate assaults. VBS1
  allows free-play within scenario-based training
  missions.
• It also incorporates real-time simulation of
  wind, rain, fog, clouds, time-of-day, sunrise and
  sunset, and tides.

6
What is VBS1?

• VBS1 is based on the commercial gaming engine
  called Oxygen II and can be specifically tailored
  to meet the individual needs of military, law
  enforcement, and first responder training
  environments.
• Modular and can be easily deployed on laptops,
  desktops, or through the Internet, delivering
  cost-effective solutions for world-wide
  interactive training.
• Not intended for entertainment purposes and is
  available only to federal, state, and local
  government agencies mentioned above.

Customization

• Custom-tailored for your Training Needs
• Coalescent Technologies has already tailored the
  VBS1 synthetic environment for small unit,
  non-lethal and refresher fire-control training
  for the US Marine Corps.
• As a custom simulation developer, we can quickly
  and economically develop agency-specific
  simulation models, maps and scenarios for your
  training needs and then license your federal,
  state or local agency individual VBS1 licenses
  for your PCs or training networks.

12
Customization

• Rapid customization includes
• Complete model design and integration
• Complete agency-specific vehicle or weapon system
  design and integration
• Complete agency-specific avatar design and
  integration
• Agency-specific object, terrain, and map design
  and integration
• Environment design and integration
• Mission storyboard and design
• Mission planning and scenario creation
• Lethal and non-lethal weapon employment and
  design
• Open Flight to VBS1 model and graphic conversion
  
• 3DS max, AutoCAD, and WaveFront model and graphic
  conversion
• DEM and 3DS ASCII integration into the VBS1
  environment
• Agency-specific digital audio / sound effects

Customization

• The customization process
• It is recommended that you purchase several
  licenses of the VBS1 core, and become
  completely familiar with the operation of this
  premium synthetic environment. At that point you
  will be extremely knowledgeable of your desired
  modifications to the models, weapons, behaviors,
  buildings, and avatars. You are then ready to
  discuss your changes to a member of our technical
  sales team in Orlando, FL.Small modifications
  to uniforms, or the addition of a specific
  building or location, to larger scale projects
  that change all weapons, uniforms, buildings,
  maps and behaviors for an entirely different
  branch of the military are possible. Since VBS1
  is already a mature product, the time to develop
  and test changes is a fraction of the time it
  takes within the realm of traditional simulation
  technologies. Simple changes with licenses can
  usually be done in a 30-60 day time period while
  larger scale projects can take 6 months or more.

Customization

• Costs
• The cost for all customization projects is
  totally dependent upon the complexity and extent
  of changes. Each project is discussed and quoted
  separately.
• Confidentiality
• The customization technical team can maintain
  strict confidentiality for clients and programs
  that require non-disclosure. The developers are
  very experienced in working with all branches of
  the U.S. military, as well as numerous Federal
  agencies. Agency specific models, proprietary
  buildings and behaviors that pertain to
  confidential or proprietary processes can be
  achieved in our state-of-the art facility and
  fully meet your industrial security requirements.

Press releases

• U.S. Marine Corps Installs VBS1 Worldwide
• Orlando, FL. April 1, 2003 Coalescent
  Technologies Corporation announced that the
  Virtual Battlefield System (VBS1) has been
  installed at all the United States Marine Corps
  simulation labs, in the continental United States

  Bohemia Interactive Studio (BIS), the original
  developer of Operation Flashpoint with license to
  the BIS Flashpoint engine, Coalescent
  Technologies was co-developer and is the
