SHEAR & PRESSURE REDUCING INSOLES FOR THE DIABETIC FOOT

Not Available A dynamic terrain synthetic environment representation for low-cost PC platforms is needed for Army simulation of maneuver force operations and terrain effects such as mine breaching, obstacle breaching, defensive positioning, damage, dynamics, mobility, trafficability, soil plowing, and flooding. Applications that need dynamic terrain capability include: Grizzly Trainer, Armored Vehicle Launched Mine-Clearing Line Charge, Explosive Standoff Minefield Clearer, Armored and Ground Standoff Mine Detection Systems. Low cost, PC-based, dynamic terrain capability is needed to mitigate reliance on high-end platforms with limited accessibility to maneuver forces. High performance is required for real-time response and run time terrain polygon deformation and movement. Networked operation with distributed communication of terrain changes must be supported. A low cost, PC-based, physics-based, dynamic terrain model representation environment is proposed that incorporates validated system models and response algorithms, all operating in compatibility with the current High Level Architecture (HLA) distributed simulation standard. This environment will enhance Army maneuver training and will allow virtual systems evaluation. The Phase I technical objective is to demonstrate the feasibility of an approach for realistic, real-time and distributed dynamic terrain simulation in a synthetic environment hosted on low cost PCs. BENEFITS: The low cost dynamic terrain has Alga potential f
