Typically 60 per cent to 80 per cent of project budgets are spent on integrating disparate homegrown and third-party solutions. With its unique features, M&S Suite 13 enables users to create simulation content and scenarios faster while achieving greater realism and better performance – all within a development environment that is easier to use and more tightly integrated. Its toolset provides an open, scalable, and reusable M&S environment. Additionally, new licensing options offer customers the commercial flexibility they need.
“Our customers are increasingly looking for ways to lower the costs associated with developing their simulation applications and consolidate the number of tools they use in order to focus efforts solely on their core businesses,” said Stéphane Blondin, Vice President, Product Management and Marketing at Presagis. “M&S Suite 13 was developed based on input gathered from client surveys, user groups and beta programs, which streamlined development and produced superior simulation-based applications for training, operations and analysis.”
Components of Presagis’ M&S Suite 13 include:
•Creator – State of the art 3D modeling: The modernized user interface with fully customizable desktop expedites 3D model development by making it faster to build, modify, and validate models.
•Terra Vista – Terrain generation simplified: A completely redesigned user interface simplifies the terrain generation process via a logical and step-by-step workflow. Terra Vista 13’s novel approach to database creation enables customers to build terrain databases faster than ever before.
•STAGE – Faster scenario generation and more out-of-the-box platforms: Including more than fifty new civilian and military platforms and a new auto-population tool, STAGE provides a complete simulation development environment. STAGE 13 also features a new STAGE Lite version and a range of optional modules to meet a wider range of commercial project requirements.
•Vega Prime – Visualization sharpened: More realism than ever is made possible through enhanced rendering performance, more light points, depth pass and 3D clouds. In addition, Vega Prime 13 now natively supports the distributed interactive simulation (DIS) and high-level architecture (HLA) communication protocols, as well as the CIGI standard as part of the base product.
