VRSG Interoperability With SAF

MetaVR™ Virtual Reality Scene Generator™ (VRSG™) is completely interoperable with many semi-automated forces (SAF) systems, which are common artificially intelligent entity generators used in the simulation industry.

Interoperability is accomplished in three ways:

VRSG renders SAF entities three-dimensionally without requiring any special configuration; you only need to ensure that the exercise IDs and terrain databases match and are correlated.
VRSG can be configured to transmit DIS Stealth PDUs so that VRSG appears on the SAF Plan View Display (PVD).
VRSG can also be controlled by SAF from the PVD due to its compliance with the Stealth PDU protocol.

VRSG appears as an arrow on the SAF PVD when used in the DIS Stealth mode.

VRSG supports the Stealth PDU protocol found in SAF version 3.0 to provide full control over the viewpoint from the PVD.

CTDB virtual worlds are completely correlated with VRSG's 3D representation, which means that you can create fully correlated 2D and 3D databases for cases such as team training.
