AFSIM

IST uses the Results Visualization application for viewing of AFSIM platforms’ and components’ states in a geographic context. Results Visualization is an extensible framework with built-in capabilities to enable real-time visualization of entities’ positions and orientations, interactions (such as detections, tracks and engagements), sensor volumes, and much more. In addition, it provides immersive tether views, and draw commands to support custom data and visual representations of the simulation. The application is extendible using a plug-in system.

 

 

IST uses Warlock, an Operator-in-the-Loop (OITL) tool designed to interact with the AFSIM engine, to provide real-time analytical and war-gaming capabilities. Warlock allows IST to graphically view AFSIM simulations and interact with simulation entities in real-time.

 

As the developers of Warlock, IST can leverage its broad capabilities to meet your Constructive Analysis, Wargaming, and Operational Planning requirements.

• Engagement, Mission, and Operational experimentation
• Access to full breadth of the AFSIM engine: Multi-Domain, Multi-Fidelity
• Extendable, modular, and fully customizable
• Networked communication and distributed, multi-user operation

 

 

AFSIM is Available to DoD and DoD Industry at No Cost, Includes Source Code, Documentation, and Access to Training Events

Information Transfer Agreement (ITA) Allows for Direct Distribution to Industry, Including Classified Version, Allowing use of AFSIM for IRAD Projects
