IDL Based 3D Military Modeling& Simulation System
---- Undertaken by Supresoft Inc.

The IDL Based 3D Military Modeling & Simulation System is a high-tech project concerning intelligentized simulation and auxiliary battle-command and integrating such technologies as the 3D geographic information system, the virtual reality & simulation and command automatization, able to rapidly and precisely create all kinds of battle geographic environments and realistically

simulate flying and collision of aircrafts in 3D battle environments.The major function and application goal of this software is to conduct comprehensive processing and treatment for a variety of scene data (such as remote sensing image data, digital elevation model, vector element data and 2D/3D object data) in the appointed region, to recover or reproduce the 3D scenes and realize 3D browse at fixed times. During the roaming of 3D scenes, modification and reproduction can be made in according with flying routines and parameters of appointed aircrafts; as the given collision evaluation rules are determined, corresponding evaluation results, 2D and 3D object editing results can be provided for collision of flying aircrafts.
The fulfillment of this system satisfies the urgent requirements for battle command simulation and automatization of our army, raising its capability for dealing with all kinds of emergencies. Thus our army has its own standard and universal battlefield-visualizing platform with high performance/cost ratio and independent intellectual property right. It is a significant beginning of our army applying virtual reality, 3D visualizing and 3D battlefield modeling technologies in battle commands and substantive progress toward modernization and application of more scientific and technical advances.
This implementation applies the battlefield visualization technology, the aircraft flying simulation technology, the collision evaluation technology and the large scene management technology to 3D battlefield modeling and visual simulation, providing solid foundations for the virtualization and intelligentization of a variety of battle command systems. This system will greatly improve the battle command training, strategy studies and equipment performance analysis, and greatly enhance the wide applications of virtual reality technology to military fields, thus providing unprecedented vitality and energy for the development of battle, training and weapon equipment of our army.
