Track Messages

VR-Forces generates ground truth information that

can be fed to sensor simulations etc.

VR-Forces can also generate sensor tracks (from

multiple sensors),

VR-Forces generates and publishes spot reports

from specific entities

Track data can be converted to specific C2

messages through MÄK’s VR-Exchange gateway

VR-Forces can also receive live or simulated track

data and convert it to HLA/DIS via VR-Exchange

VR-Exchange Link-16 Messages

We have implemented brokers for C2PC (using the

C2PC TMS API) and to support the Cursor-on-

Target (CoT) protocol.

VR-Forces Tactical Data Link Plugin

3rd Party Plugin that adds data link message exchange and visualization to VR-Forces● Generates Precise Participant Location and Identification (PPLI) and

Track Messages

● Manually generate messages or configure VR-Forces entities with tactical data link capability

● Manual messages can include Interrogate Friend or Foe, Selective Identification Feature, Platform and System Status

● Manually create a surveillance track specifying a source and track number.

● Use the associated data link entity’s sensor contacts to generate track messages

● A non C2 entity can be configured to generate target sorting and bearing messages on the data link network

● Participants on the data link network can be transferred, released, and taken control of by other controlling units

● Data link functionality is accessible in plan creation

Web-based Simulation

Web Development Capabilities
