Bohemia Interactive is extremely
pleased to announce that the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (UK MoD) has
purchased an enterprise license of Virtual Battlespace 2 (VBS2). The UK MoD
VBS2 license, distributed through Calytrix Pty Ltd (http://www.calytrix.com.au),
provides a robust, flexible simulation for use in collective and tactical
training, mission rehearsal, experimentation and terrain/3D model visualisation
for AO familiarisation.
The decision by the UK MoD to
purchase an enterprise license of VBS2 marks yet another important milestone
for the product and further validation that the Real Virtuality engine remains
one of the most flexible, extendable and cost-effective military simulation
tools available today.
Under the
enterprise license, Bohemia Interactive Australia is providing the following
software and services to the UK MoD:
-
Site licenses for VBS2
-
VBS2 tool suite
-
HLA/DIS Gateway (LVC Game by

The
enterprise license also includes an upgrade to the VBS2 Virtual Tool Kit (VTK)
when released. The VTK will provide a range of editors that will enable
every aspect of the simulation to be easily modified and configured; to the
extent that the product could be repackaged by any typical user to suit a new
training requirement or demand.
