The Ministerie van Defensie is experimenting with the use of robotic and autonomous unmanned systems to optimize the application of unmanned systems and develop new concepts for tactical land operations. When the availability of unmanned vehicles is limited, simulation can be used as a stand-in for the real systems. To give units realistic and relevant experience in the field Demcon has developed an outdoor tactical simulator in which the simulated robot is controlled by a physical End User Device. The simulator enables efficient experimentation with autonomous systems where also to-be-developed capabilities can already be simulated. In this movie we explain more about this simulator and how the in Virtual Battle Space simulated systems are connected to real hardware. Watch the video
