Army Synthetic Environment: Standard, Sharable, Geospatial Framework for the Army M&S Enterprise (Room S330EF)

Panelists from across the Geospatial M&S Community will describe the Single Sharable Geospatial Framework and its implications for DoD modeling and simulation. Exploring the commercial industry’s success at leveraging a single cloud-delivered terrain Service into disparate applications, the panel will discuss this emerging terrain technology and how it could be applied to our M&S and Mission Command System C4I communities. The panel will address two key considerations: 1. Is the technology readiness level for cloud delivered terrain ready for DoD applications? 2. What considerations does the DoD need to consider to ensure success and avoid pitfalls? Following the panel discussion, AMSO will conduct a technical demonstration of a cloud delivered terrain rendering capability at its booth with participation from PEO STRI, U.S. Army National Simulation Center, and University of Southern California’s Institute for Creative Technology. The demonstration will use a single terrain service to render in real time terrain using three different game engines and OneSAF.
