CAE AcuScene

CAE AcuScene is a cross-platform image generator (IG) for visualizing the virtual battlefield. CAE AcuScene offers high performance visualization for every simulation. It combines industry standards, including OpenGL, DIS/HLA, MIL-STD-2525B, with an innovative graphics engine for use with commercial-off-the-shelf hardware.

This complete real-time visualization tool offers a full-featured stealth monitor as well as air and ground vehicle visualizations that span single or multiple viewing channels, distributed across several workstations.

Key Benefits

Taking full advantage of off-the-shelf graphics hardware, CAE AcuScene is the ideal image generation solution for 2D tactical displays, 3D stealth viewers, and multi-channel IG training systems.

CAE AcuScene supports a variety of mission functions, including height-above-terrain, height-of-terrain, and laser-range-finder. It features a range of special effects, including particle-based and environmental effects, and man-made points of light, making CAE AcuScene a complete image generation solution.

The sensor attribute editor allows users to simulate infrared, night vision goggles, and other visual modes. Our physics-based sensor model allows users to fine-tune the sensor models to achieve a high degree of realism.

CAE AcuScene features database paging supported by an efficient run-time structure and an innovative real-time paging algorithm for large databases. An extensive load management algorithm controls the terrain level-of-detail (LOD), model LOD, and visibility range in order to automatically maintain desired frame rates.

Key Features

• Provides dynamic plug-in modules that allow the system to be augmented with heads-up display (HUD) symbology as well as overlay GUIs that are separable from the core application.
• Supports both infrared or night vision goggles sensor models.
• Provides an easy to use host-control interface protocol and toolset to integrate CAE AcuScene into your host simulation and to provide logging and debugging facilities.
• Supports a variety of industry standard communication mechanisms, such as the distributed interactive simulation specification or the high level architecture specification.
• Complies with the MIL-STD-2525B symbology.
• Offers an extensive set of built-in high fidelity moving models from RealDB.
