Feb 2012 - BSI delivers multiple MACE licenses to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott, AZ for UAS pilot, navigator and payload/sensor operator simulation.
Dec 2011 - MACE receives software certification from the Air Force Network Integration Center (AFNIC), approving MACE for use on standard desktop systems connected to the Air Force Global Information Grid (AF-GIG) and placing MACE on the Air Force Evaluated/Approved Products List (AF E/APL).
Oct 2011 - BSI delivers multiple MACE licenses to Sandia Research Corporation (SRC) for UAS pilot, navigator and payload/sensor operator simulation.
Sep 2011 - BSI delivers multiple MACE licenses to the Georgia Air National Guard's Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC), for Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) oriented simulation and training.
Aug 2011 - BSI delivers multiple MACE licenses to Lockheed Martin for use at the Air Force Distributed Mission Operations Center (DMOC) at Kirtland AFB, NM.
Jul 2011 - BSI delivers multiple MACE licenses to the Grayling Air Gunnery Range. MACE will be used to generate entities for Grayling's Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) training dome. MACE's Call for Fire and 9-Line interfaces allow the user to very quickly direct fires as part of their JTAC training. In additon, Grayling is using MACE's flyable A-10 to provide pilot-in-the-loop close air support (CAS) in addition to constructively generated CAS assets. Feedback from Grayling: “Two more really successful sim periods today… I love this software!”
Jun 2011 - BSI delivers multiple MACE licenses to the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment - Airborne (SOAR-A) at Ft. Campbell, KY. To see MACE's helicopter flight model in action, please see this video.
May 2011 - BSI, MetaVR and Immersive Displays team to offer the JTAC MiniDome, a turnkey solution for your JTAC training needs. MACE is capable of generating all the entities required for robust JTAC training, including both constructive and fully flyable aircraft, as well as a wide variety of ground vehicles and life forms. MACE includes physics based aerodynamic models for aircraft and weapons (air-to-ground, air-to-air and surface-to-air missile fly-outs and ballistic models for bombs and projectiles) as well as intermediate damage states including firepower and mobility kills. In addition, MACE includes both Call for Fire and 9-Line interfaces that make it extremely simple to call in close air support or artillery fire.
Jan 2011 - BSI delivers the final four Air Combat Environment-Instrument Training Systems (ACE-ITS) to the Inter-American Air Forces Academy (IAAFA) at Lackland AFB, TX. ACE-ITS is a network of eight instrument training systems comprised of Precision Flight Controls' CR-12, BSI's Air Combat Environment, DIS Radio and DIS Recorder.
Dec 2010 - BSI releases the Modern Air Combat Environment (MACE) at I/ITSEC 2010. MACE is a robust, DIS-enabled threat environment/SAF capable of generating both blue and red force entities, including ground-based, surface and airborne platforms and weapons. MACE can be used within your existing DIS simulation framework or even for stand-alone many-on-many mission rehearsal. MACE also provides man-in-the-loop flight models for the A-10 and F-16, enabling dynamic transfer between constructive and virtual entity control.
Aug 2010 - BSI begins work on the Air Combat Environment - Instrument Training Simulation (ACE-ITS) for the Inter-American Air Forces Academy (IAAFA). BSI will team with Precision Flight Controls (PFC) to provide a hardware-based flight simulation that uses BSI's DIS Radio and ACE's instrumentation for superior VFR and IFR instrument training.
July, 2010 - BSI's Air Combat Environment-Combat Systems Officer (ACE-CSO) software is successfully integrated into the CSO-modified T-1A aircraft. ACE-CSO provides both the airborne threat environment and simulated CSO student displays, including Radar Warning Receiver and other aircraft instrumentation for in-flight electronic warfare and navigation training.
May 6, 2009 - BSI, Camber Corp. and Total Immersion Software have been selected by the Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC) to modify the T-1A aircraft for Combat Systems Officer (CSO) training based on BSI's Air Combat Environment (ACE) and Camber's Radar Toolkit. CSO's will use the modified T-1A's to develop advanced Navigation/Electronic Warfare Officer skill sets, enabling them to operate the complex systems critical to the Air Force mission. Also included will be a full mission debrief capability, in which MetaVR's Virtual Reality Scene Generator (VRSG) will be used to replay the ACE mission, enhancing student learning during post-flight debrief.
Oct 2008 - BSI has been selected to deliver an enhanced EWO training simulation for AC-130 Electronic Warfare Officers. BSI's Air Combat Environment will be the foundation for a PC-based EWO trainer for the AC-130 community, including the first ever PC-based simulation of the Priority Control and Receiver Remote Control units.
Feb 2007 - BSI selects TatukGIS for GIS core. At the core of a worldwide synthetic battlespace is a high performance GIS library. TatukGIS' WinForms DK supports the most common raster and vector GIS formats, including NGA-standard Raster Product Format (RPF, including CADRG and CIB) and Vector Product Format (VPF).
