3-D Visualization
The capability to visualize the impact of an improvised explosive device (IED) or other emergency event, implement protective measures in real-time, and then view the results in 3-D can offer significant advantages to security and emergency planners and military strategists. Information gained from different event scenarios can be used to revise and improve emergency response plans or defense strategies and to allocate funds to areas that are shown to have the most benefit.
Customized attack, protection scenarios.
IEM’s 3-D modeling tool allows planners to design their own events, from IEDs and suicide bombers to hurricanes and other natural disasters. Users then apply their own protection strategies, run the simulation, view real-world casualty and structural damage statistics, and then modify a scenario to run it again. A user-friendly interface provides an array of attack and prevention strategies that can be placed and manipulated as desired. This interactive tool provides a realistic environment that includes actual ground level details, both inside and outside at-risk buildings.
Allocating funds for greatest improvement.
Identifying an acceptable degree of risk is key to effective preparedness and defense strategies. Eliminating all risk is impossible, but IEM’s virtual environment technology can help planners and commanders identify an acceptable degree of risk and decide where to allocate resources for the greatest improvement in protection.
IEM's 3-D capabilities may be valuable for:
- Targeting intelligence and surveillance capabilities to identify optimal areas to monitor.
- Developing "serious games" or simulations that can be in used in conjunction with training exercises.
- Identifying the personnel and resources that should be allocated to a situation.
- Creating "mission rehearsals" for emergency response to terrorist attacks, hostage situations, and natural disasters.
