Abstract: Impact Computing proposes development of a Simulation, Mission Analysis, Rehearsal, and Training (SMART) tool. Key features include:  Dynamic, extensible geospatial 3D object database  Intuitive, easy-to-use tools for 3D spatial object creation and editing  Easy-to-use scripting mechanisms  Extensible and reusable script-based library of training scenarios and rehearsal  Collaborative mission planning and rehearsal capability  Support for low-bandwidth collaboration  2D / 3D integrated view  Autonomous rapid 3D data collection sensor system  Open, well-defined interface mechanisms that maximize interoperabilit  Highly portable and easy to deploy browser-based clients  Extensible, plug-and-play architecture and modular framewor  Flexible and highly-configurable Our comprehensive SMART solution will enable mission planners, trainers and warfighters to fully exploit and integrate 3D geospatial visualization into their mission planning, training, execution and debriefing processes. Impact Computing will be supported on this effort by Object Raku Technologies, developers of the Sextant suite of 3D scene rendering tools.
Benefits: The technology to be developed under this SBIR initiative is expected to elicit interest from a wide array of military and intelligence customers. In addition, interest is anticipated from numerous other market segments. Law Enforcement agencies entering hostile environments, such as Swat Teams, can quickly deploy a 3D simulation based on pre-existing data of the target building, facilitating advanced reconnaissance on true 3D data, rather than 2D building plans. Civilian users can use such 3D simulated environments fused with the technology in any number of 3D design scenarios, such as architecture; for example: allowing end-users to visualize their 2D floorplans, and designers to quickly sift through the multitudes of data associated with such designs.
