Program Manager: Daniel Kaufman
The RealWorld Program exploits technology innovation to provide every warfighter with the ability to open a laptop computer and rapidly create a mission-specific simulation in a relevant geo-specific 3-D world. Currently, major simulation programs are time consuming, expensive, and require graduate-level expertise in computer programming. RealWorld will remove these barriers and, for the first time, put the tactical advantage of real-time simulation directly into the hands of the warfighter. Providing every warfighter with the ability to open a laptop computer and rapidly create a mission-specific simulation in a relevant geo-specific 3-D world.
RealWorld will demonstrate a tool suite that allows the warfighter to rapidly create personalized mission scenarios through the introduction of new methodology for building simulation software. These methodologies, and adherence to a highly modular approach, will cause a fundamental paradigm shift in the acquisition and construction of DoD modeling and simulation products. At its core, RealWorld will—
- Create an open architecture that allows users to quickly adapt to changes in technology.
- Minimize the risk of technology obsolescence and allow RealWorld to adapt to new and evolving mission needs.
- Create 100 km2 per hour of highly realistic immersive 3-D representations of the air/land/sea mission space from ISR data for any tactical environment.
- Generate one city block of geo-specific building interiors and exteriors (in 24 hours from a wide range of sources, including photographs, lidar, CAD drawings or even hand drawn in the field from HUMINT sources).
- Realistically model the interaction of physical objects to expose the 'unintended consequences' of urban combat.
- Implement warfighter/user authoring and scenario-specific tailoring.
- Include the ability to model tactically and culturally relevant behaviors for individual and group AI/NPC actions.
