Official Press release:

Quote[/b] ]Bohemia Interactive announces United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (UK MoD) VBS2â„¢ Enterprise License

Australia - 1st May 2007

A PDF version of this release is available here.

Bohemia Interactive is extremely pleased to announce that the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (UK MoD) has purchased an enterprise license of Virtual Battlespace 2 (VBS2â„¢). The UK MoD VBS2â„¢ license, distributed through Calytrix Pty Ltd (http://www.calytrix.com.au), provides a robust, flexible simulation for use in collective and tactical training, mission rehearsal, experimentation and terrain/3D model visualisation for AO familiarisation.

The decision by the UK MoD to purchase an enterprise license of VBS2â„¢ marks yet another important milestone for the product and further validation that the Real Virtuality engine remains one of the most flexible, extendable and cost-effective military simulation tools available today.

Under the enterprise license, Bohemia Interactive Australia is providing the following software and services to the UK MoD:

* Site licenses for VBS2â„¢

* VBS2â„¢ tool suite

* HLA/DIS Gateway (LVC Game by Calytrix)

* Specifically tailored UK module (UK units, vehicles, weaponry, aircraft and ships)

* Custom terrain module including an urban area, a large detailed building complex, an airfield and harbor

* Gold Support

* Training Courses 1, 2 and 3 (VBS2â„¢ for Administrators, VBS2â„¢ Terrain Generation and Modeling in VBS2â„¢)

The enterprise license also includes an upgrade to the VBS2â„¢ Virtual Tool Kit (VTK) when released. The VTK will provide a range of editors that will enable every aspect of the simulation to be easily modified and configured; to the extent that the product could be repackaged by any typical user to suit a new training requirement or demand.

Company Profile

Bohemia Interactive was founded in 1999 as an independent game development company, with studios in the Czech Republic and Australia, focusing on the development of state of the art computer software and the research of advanced real time 3D graphics, artificial intelligence and physical simulation technologies for real-time interactive environments. Additional simulation products include Virtual Battlespace (VBS), the Virtual Responder Trainer (VRT) and Loadmaster Virtual Reality Simulation (LVRS).

sure beats the old simulation program they used - think it used the old Half Life engine as a backbone - if you root around defence images you can find a few screens of it.
