High-Fidelity NTC for Army Readiness
MVRsimulation has developed an enhanced virtual National Training Center (NTC) terrain for use with VRSG. This database, built with MVRsimulation's Terrain Tools for ArcGIS® Pro, features key areas like the Bicycle Lake Army Airfield and the Tiefort City Mobile Military Operations in Urban Terrain (MOUT) site. The NTC at Ft. Irwin, CA, is central to U.S. armed ground forces' live fire and maneuver training. MVRsimulation's virtual Ft. Irwin terrain database provides essential simulator-based training. This enables critical training repetition and allows soldiers to continue mission rehearsals even when the physical MOUT environment is unavailable, ensuring sustained readiness before live rotations.
A significant highlight is the meticulously replicated Tiefort City MOUT site, NTC's largest urban training ground, designed for desert and urban combat preparation. Composed of reconfigurable, modular plywood structures that mimic shipping containers, this site supports realistic scenarios such as ambushes and house-to-house searches. MVRsimulation's virtual Tiefort City accurately captures these details with custom-created models based on real-world photographs, featuring articulated doors and other authentic cultural elements ensuring highly realistic and immersive pre-deployment training.
