2cm UAS Imagery
MVRsimulation developed highly detailed, geospecific 2 cm per-pixel resolution 3D terrain of the B-17 and B-19 target ranges on the Fallon Range Training Complex (FRTC) at Naval Air Station (NAS) Fallon, Nevada. This terrain, covering 66 square kilometers, was captured using MVRsimulation's small UAS (SUAS) and compiled using Terrain Tools for Esri® ArcGIS®, along with 10-meter NED elevation data. The result is full-resolution terrain tiles in round-earth VRSG format, seamlessly integrated with MVRsimulation's broader CONUS terrain database.
The Naval Aviation Warfighting Development Center (NAWDC) uses this virtual terrain in its Combined Arms Virtual Environment (CAVE) simulator, powered by VRSG, to support applications such as range familiarization and close air support training. The 2 cm resolution imagery enables warfighters to train in a virtual environment that closely mirrors real-world conditions. This ultra-high resolution allows for visibility of critical battlefield details, such as vehicle targets, helicopter landing zones, bomb craters, and even bullet holes in target structures. These visual cues are essential for real-time simulation and provide enhanced realism, particularly when combined with live data feeds from aircraft such as the FA-18E outfitted with air combat maneuvering instrumentation (ACMI). The result is a blended live-virtual training capability that enhances the effectiveness of NAWDC’s simulation-based instruction.
