Extract more value from VBS3 with our unique Mate range of products. Built to augment the VBS3 classroom, InstructorMate, MediaMate and GUIMate will give your VBS3 instructors extra power, control and flexibility to improve your trainees' performance. Seamlessly integrated with VBS3, these Mates will soon become your best friends.
Speaking of friends, we were once again proud to be exhibiting with Bohemia Interactive Simulations at SimTecT in Adelaide, Australia, last week. Conference visitors had the opportunity to see how VBS3Fires FST, our ground-breaking CFF and CAS training application, is stealing the show when it comes to joint fires training.
If you're heading to London for DSEI next month, make sure you get along to the Close Air Solutions stand where you will see VBS3Fires FST running on their Ruggedised Deployable Immersive Close Air Support Simulator - it's going to be awesome!
Warm regards

 InstructorMate enables faster, more efficient training in VBS3. Instructors can more easily monitor trainees' performance, quickly launch and conduct training scenarios, and provide real-time feedback or instruction to trainees during a scenario.
|
|
|
|
InstuctorMate empowers your instructors to create training efficiencies - and reinforce learnings in real time - with a suite of sophisticated, yet easy to use, tools.
|
|
What makes this Mate so great?
MONITOR
Monitor all of your trainees from a single terminal. At any time, you can switch from the broad view of all trainees to focus - with a high resolution video feed - on any single trainee, without them being aware that they are being monitored. InstructorMate can also support monitoring trainees using multiple screens as well as monitoring other open applications on their PC.
CONDUCT
Save time and remove frustrations. InstructorMate allows an instructor to get training underway faster - and reduce the chance of errors - by providing a central application for selecting a scenario, allocating trainees to roles in the scenario and launching the scenario.
INSTRUCT
Absolute, seamless integration with VBS3. To assist in targeting training, instructors can create overlays prior to a scenario being conducted. They can also create overlays during a scenario to either record important points for the AAR, or to share with one or more trainees in real time. Finally, they can use the tools in the AAR to create a visually rich feedback experience.
|
|
|
Two complementary tools are bundled with InstructorMate:
|
|
ClassroomMate
Monitor your VBS classroom
- Low-latency video streaming directly from VBS3
- Record multiple VBS3 streams with minimal frame rate impact
- Launch scenarios and allocate trainee roles centrally
- Automatically detect inactive students in simulation and recording
|
|
MarkupMate
Real-time visual feedback
- Create 3D overlays in VBS3 to provide instruction and feedback
- Broadcast selected overlay layers to individual trainees
- Enhance your AAR with improved graphical tools
- Drawing trails available for individual trainees during scenario
|
|
|
More details, including use cases, can be found in the InstructorMate handout.
|
|
 MediaMate is a real-time video streaming application that provides low-latency video streaming directly from VBS3, and enables you to produce high quality recordings and screen captures of the VBS3 virtual environment.
|
|
|
|
Not only is MediaMate highly customisable, seamlessly integrated with VBS3, and offering near-zero latency, its streaming functionality is supported across multiple browsers and mobile devices. All the major browsers, as well as VLC player, are capable of displaying the MediaMate video stream.
|
|
Why choose MediaMate?
- Broadcasting real-time streams of VBS3 scenarios
- Recording VBS3 video with minimal frame rate impact
- Simple screen capturing of VBS3
- Wide selection of resolutions for streaming and recording
- Saving files in desired locations even through a network
- Automatic/dynamic termination of streaming and recording
More details, including use cases, can be found in the MediaMate handout.

 GUIMate is an innovative GUI design toolkit for VBS3. Fully integrated with VBS3, this C++ and script API enables customers to create rich, customised GUIs with an extensive set of widgets within the VBS3 environment.
|
|
|
Easy to use, GUIMate includes a visual editor which allows a simple drag-and-drop approach to designing a GUI (no programming required!). Complementing this is a built-in library which contains functions to support the creation of attractive and functional GUIs within VBS3. GUIMate supports owner-drawn controls which enable the user to create customised widgets such as charts, graphs and videos using C++.
What can GUIMate help you with?
- Building more attractive, more intuitive GUIs, with more choices for widgets
- Building GUIs quickly and easily, in a fraction of the development time needed for other techniques (without any programming knowledge)
- Building maintainable GUIs, reducing future costs of maintenance and modification
More details, including use cases, can be found in the GUIMate handout.

Dynamic, intelligent pattern of life
For those of you unfamiliar with our Ambience suite of products, these little beauties seamlessly integrate with VBS3 to breathe civilian life into your training environment.
- In just a few mouse clicks, Crowd Ambience can populate your scenario with hundreds, even thousands, of civilians.
- Likewise, Traffic Ambience quickly adds intelligent and dynamic background traffic to your scenario, creating a much more realistic - and naturally chaotic - civilian environment for urban warfare training.
- Taking pattern of life simulation to the next level, Urban Ambience contains a level of detail engine to manage the VBS3 performance, and can be configured to support behaviours expected within developing, as well as developed, countries.

 SimCentric were proud to partner with Bohemia Interactive Simulations at SimTecT in Adelaide, Australia last week. SimTecT is Australasia�s leading simulation training conference.
|
|
|
|
Delegates were treated to a demonstration of our cutting-edge CFF and CAS training application, VBS3Fires FST. VBS3Fires FST provides an integrated joint fires solution, allowing a single instructor to easily control fire missions from guns, mortars, rockets and naval gunfire, as well as close air support from fast air, rotary wing, AC-130 and UAVs.
Also on show was our Ambience and Mate families of products - both of which support and enhance VBS3 training. Ambience provides more immersive, more naturally chaotic VBS3 environments to train in; Mate streamlines and enhances the training process itself to extract maximum value from the time spent using VBS3.

Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEI) 2015, which takes place at ExCeL, London from 15-18 September, brings together the entire defence and security industry to source the latest equipment and systems, develop international relationships, and generate new business opportunities.
Experience VBS3Fires FST live on the RDiCASS!
Get cracking to booth N7-210 where you will discover the future of joint fires training! We will be showcasing VBS3Fires FST, our immersive CFF and CAS training simulation, on Close Air Solutions RDiCASS. The RDiCASS is the perfect vehicle to demonstrate the capabilities of this trailblazing product. You will be wowed by the stunning visuals of VBS3 on the RDiCASS, combined with our highly sophisticated close air support simulation system and highly realistic FO and JTAC workflow.
The RD iCASS is a completely modular version of the iCASS Full Mission Simulator that was delivered and accredited as part of the UK JTAC Training programme. The entire system is mounted and encased in ruggedised, portable casing that can be transported over land or by sea, and set up in any location.
