Proven Solution for Live Virtual Constructive

FLAMES provides a proven solution for integrating live, virtual, and constructive simulations. At I/ITSEC 2007, Ternion's booth featured a simple virtual C4I system being driven by a FLAMES-based simulation. This demonstration illustrated how a FLAMES-based constructive simulation can be integrated with both live and virtual systems to provide low-cost testing, training, and mission rehearsal systems.

How FLAMES Interfaces with LVC Systems

FLAMES supports DIS and HLA interfaces to legacy systems. In addition, FLAMES supports a unique, high-performance interface called the Interactive Server (ISV) that was specially designed to address the demanding requirements of integrating live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) systems.

The ISV supports many features not available in DIS and HLA, including the ability to communicate directly with command, control, communications, computer, and intelligence (C4I) systems using real-world tactical messages. Custom external system interfaces can be and have been integrated into FLAMES, as well.

Benefits of Using FLAMES for LVC:

  • Proven capability in numerous, existing testing and training systems

  • DIS, HLA, and high-performance interfaces to live and virtual systems

  • Specialized support for interfaces to C4I systems

  • Deployed with operational systems for “in-garrison” training capability

  • Fully customizable models and applications

  • Used successfully by programs worldwide
