Frequently executedbriefings ensure the mutual understanding of the objectives and challenges the unit is facing, and the commander'sintent to achieve them.

Our approach includesthe integration and support of a precisely scaled three-dimensional model of the real-world terrain and a novelfirst-person perspective that can be used for closer inspection. This solution eliminates the dependency on costlytechnical support teams to develop or modify the new mission's terrain. The system reduces the possibility ofhuman error and misunderstandings by supporting multiple simultaneous viewing perspectives and provides thefoundation for a network-based collaboration mode.
