Title: Outerra used in US Army simulation program
Post by: cameni on August 31, 2012, 04:51:11 am
Outerra has been used in US Army program for modeling and simulation of controlled flight through terrain under degraded visual environment conditions, providing the real-world rendering and flight simulation.

Pffft.. I did that back in 1985. But for the Libyan Government.. And all I really did was sell them a bunch of used pinball machine parts.

Who is Robert Francis (Outerra)?

Robert is our "walking booth" on various US conferences, presenting and talking to people. Here's his older post from one: http://www.outerra.com/forum/index.php?topic=183.msg1928#msg1928 (http://www.outerra.com/forum/index.php?topic=183.msg1928#msg1928)

Wow, all the way back in 2010 and only 2 posts. That why I didn't remember.

Is that demo using multi-monitor / multi-render to show cockpit and rear cockpit views simultaneously?

EDIT: Also "degraded visual environment conditions" sounds like an insult toward Outerra. It must be rectified!

I think those are two views of two different helis (Apache and Kiowa).

Nice of them ... still, i just cant understand,  why US allways makes theyr militarry developement open in such an extend, to make it possible to its enemies o know its fundamental work processes/basics giving them the advantage to react before its even finished ? ...

Awesome ! Congratulations!

But will this intefere with the developments on Anteworld?

Excellent news to say the least. It looks like Outerra will get some much deserved recognition with this exposure.  This game engine has some serious potential and to have the US military taking notice should open up more than a few eyes.

And now remember, cameni... You are also responsible in all kills made by US Army... Because now they will train how to kill people with YOUR software. I am sure you know who is behind US Army and what are their real interests... Now you are the part of all this dirty thing... You just sold your soul for some money. Congratulations...

He had to grow up and become a man sooner or later.. Shame he won't get to pillage homes and businesses directly.

Outerra'ers,

Thanks for the warm reception of your comments.  The project with TES/US Army is very rewarding due to the nature of designing systems that will bring greater situation awareness and safety to pilots not only in the military but eventually to the civilian air industry. This project is about safety, avoiding ground, object and aircraft collisions.  As Brano said, this is just a pilot project... Pun intended... but there is great potential for the developments on this project to align with the greater needs of the Anteworld project.  90+% of the technology development and needs are cross beneficial to both sides of the development.

If you have business in the government/defense/engineering sectors and are interested in how to get Outerra into your projects please feel free to contact me at robert(AT)outerra.com or contact@outerra.com

I plan to be at IITSEC this December in Orlando and will be available for private demos, if you would like to get together please contact me.

Thanks!
Robert-

Great, another USA basher who believes everything they read on the internet...

Good gallows humor. ::)

Great news :)

Looking forward to next ver with modelimporter, got loads of buildings/towns to test out.

Considering the fact the the U.S. Military invented the internet (originally called ARPAnet), the tool you seem so fond of professing your vomitous diatribe, you should probably stop utilizing it. You know, because it probably transmitted data associated with killing people, or how to kill people, being part of the "problem" and all that.  ::)

What a twit...

Anyhoo, Great job Outerra team!
