What is VBS?

VBS stands for Virtual Battle Space and it is currently the U.S. Army's flagship product for its Games for Training program.  VBS has become an industry standard in game-based military simulation and is used all over the western world.  Please my Professional Experience page for more exact explanation of what I did for each product.

VBS Can be broken down into 3 main products:
Picture
The flagship product.  VBS3 simulates multiple environments to help trainees learn how to think in a variety of situations to prepare them for the real thing.
My role here involved minor feature development such as creating demonstration missions, editing the user interface and creating new gameplay features.

Picture
Essentially a military RTS game.  Tactics is a multi-platform, easy-to-use interface for control of special AI forces simulated in VBS3.
Most of my work at BISim was done here.  I was one of a team of 3 developers creating the behavior trees AI entities would run

Picture
A visualizer for more advanced physics simulations.  VBS IG is, as the name implies, an IG solution.  It's goal is to bring AAA-game graphics to external part-task and full-mission simulators.
I was never directly related to this  project.
