Joint Training Simulation Analyses Center

• Founded in 2006 upon NATO SfP 981149 -
  Operations Research Support to
• Force and Operations Planning in the New Security
  Environment (CoE-OA) and
• EU-TACOM-SEE-2006 / Protection 2006.
• Participants
• CoE-OA, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (Center for
  National Security and
• Defense, Space Research Institute, Geophysical
  Institute, National
• Meteorological and Hydrological Institute,
  Bulgarian high-tech companies)
• Capabilities
• Scenario development and Analyses
• Architecture and training centers development for
  CAX

Environment Data Processing

• Input Data
• CAD buildings models
• Terrain airplane ortho- satellite- images.

• Output Data
• 2D, 3D buildings shape file
• Geo-referenced terrain images.

• Data processing
• CAD buildings models conversion and processing
  in ArcCatalog
• Geo-referencing of cad data terrain images in
  ArcMap.

CAD buildings models conversion and processing in
ArcCatalog 9.2 toolbox up to ESRI shape file

Results Representation (ArcGIS 9.2 3D Analyst)

• - Realistic environment
• 3D multi-patch objects integration
• Interoperability with other 3D standards.

12
Summary Conclusions

• Environment data preparation with ESRI ArcInfo
  9.2 products
• Buildings representation requires realistic input
  CAD data
• Easy terrain ortho- sattelite- images
  implementation
• Easy 2D shape file extrusion
• Difficult integration of 3D shape files with
  terrain images
• Good output result, suitable for the other
  applications implication (NRBC Modellling, Crowds
  Behaviours simulation, Situation Assessment)
