Rapid Synthetic Environment Tool (RSET)

To maintain combat readiness in a changing warfare landscape, the Navy and USMC training communities needs comprehensive, easy-to-use database generation and editing tools. These tools must be flexible geospatial source data often lacks detail, so customization capabilities are essential. For example, users may need to edit the terrain database to accurately represent building interiors and perform full physics simulations (e.g., weapons effects). Inadequate simulation database representation can result in decreased realism and negative training.The development team of Edgewise Technologies, LLC (Edgewise) and Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) will provide flexible, robust, easy-to-use terrain tools to the Navy and USMC training communities. We have performed extensive research into terrain solutions. Our experience has shown that many organizations have little time and money to devote to terrain production. Organizations tend to have urgent needs that arise in spurts rather than in a steady, ongoing stream. Our no-cost, easy to use tools are aimed at allowing these organizations to quickly and easily achieve their goals without the need for extensive training or expertise.
