Simlat Ltd. announces the successful integration of one of its UAS training systems (the STAR) to Bohemia Interactive's Virtual Battlespace 2 (VBS2). The proven integration enables VBS2 users to easily integrate Simlat's high-fidelity UAS simulator into their training sessions.

Users with rich VBS2 scenario libraries are now able to re-use their existing scenarios with the additional edge of having Simlat's high-fidelity UAS simulation in the training arena. The integration also features plug-and-play support for NATO compliant RVTs (STANAG 4609).

"Simlat's integration to VBS2 allows both Simlat and Bohemia Interactive Simulations customers to employ a wide range of training technologies from both platforms," says Roy Peshin, Simlat CTO. "The integration enables users to utilize common infrastructures such as synthetic environments, models, and scenarios, all crucial elements in simulation fidelity."
Peter Morrison, CEO of Bohemia Interactive Simulations, said "Bohemia Interactive is excited that Simlat has integrated VBS2 with their UAS simulator, as it further extends the training possibilities of both platforms. Once again, our game-based virtual environment has proven to be a viable complement to a professional military simulation system."

VBS2 - Virtual Battlespace 2 - is a fully interactive, three-dimensional training system providing a premium synthetic environment suitable for a wide range of training and experimentation purposes. Developed by Bohemia Interactive Simulations, VBS2 offers both virtual and constructive interfaces onto high-fidelity worlds of unparalleled realism. VBS2 is employed daily by Government organizations worldwide, spanning a range of domains including the military and mining sectors.
