Battlespace Simulations' simulations are used to train every undergraduate electronic warfare officer (EWO) in the United States Air Force. The TatukGIS Developer Kernel (DK) provides the GIS platform for BSI's simulations. Simulation building upon this mature Geographic Information System (GIS) expands the virtual battle space to the entire world, making BSI's simulations useful for operational mission rehearsal as opposed to just a few "canned" training scenarios. »»0 comment(s)
