Pittsburgh, PA - TerraSim, Inc. was recently competitively selected for a U.S. Army MOUT-FACT contract award entitled "Rapid Generation of Synthetic Urban Environments and Infrastructure." Focusing on the development of next generation tools for Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) and the rapid construction of urban environments for modeling and simulation, TerraSim will provide U.S. Army PEOSTRI, Orlando, Fl with sample urban databases for test and engineering applications. These 3D visualizations include the development of automated building interiors, underground structures, and integration with Urban Terrain Zone (UTZ) models previously developed by the U.S. Army.
Challenges to be addressed include the use and integration of current world-wide construction practices databases with automatic building interior generation to support the rapid generation of geotypical urban environments from minimal amounts of existing cartographic or CAD source data.
