DND Canada came to Nytric with the challenge of building a missile system simulator that would not involve the extremely high costs of the traditional dedicated graphics work stations.

Based upon our experience with multi-media and 3D graphics we chose a PC based solution using a high-performance 3D accelerator card. A complex outdoor graphical environment then had to be created that realistically simulated various aspects of a battlefield scenario, including an ability to accurately simulate military operations using infra-red technology and images. To achieve the most accurate IR imaging simulations, actual IR signatures of real military equipment were integrated into the simulation engine.
