BISim Joins Team CESI to Deliver US Army TSS/TMT

Bohemia Interactive Simulations (BISim) has been subcontracted by Cole Engineering Service Inc. (CESI) to deliver significant components of the U.S. Army’s next generation of collective training technology. CESI recently announced it had been awarded the Training Simulation Software/Training Management Tools (TSS/TMT) contract and plans to utilize all three of BISim’s primary products (VBS4, VBS Blue IG and VBS World Server) as part of the overall TSS/TMT solution.

The U.S. Army’s Synthetic Training Environment (STE), of which TSS/TMT supplies the central software capabilities, will allow units and leaders to conduct realistic multi-echelon and multi-domain combined arms maneuvers and mission command live, collective training anywhere in the world. TSS/TMT will also converge live, virtual and constructive capabilities in a single interface.

Military leaders and instructors will be able to set up complex virtual battles, coordinate with thousands of AI-powered allies, and fight against artificially intelligent (AI)- or instructor-controlled adversaries – with realistic AI behaviors and at theater-wide scale. Soldiers will be able to repeat these training missions many times over, facing new challenges that will help them to better prepare for live training and enhance their readiness for operations.

Terrain data will draw from STE’s One World Terrain data and soldiers will interact either through PC-based soldier stations or through STE’s Reconfigurable Virtual Collective Trainers. The STE will facilitate quick set up, comprehensive after-action review of exercises and an intelligent tutor capability, and will lead to more realistic, more targeted and ultimately more impactful training and mission rehearsal.
