Virtual Targets (VT)

The Virtual Targets project provides four supporting modeling and simulation components: the Targets Generation Laboratory, the model verification and validation process, the Virtual Targets project for new, customer funded CAD model development, and the Army Model Exchange. As a supporting set of capabilities, the Virtual Target Center provides a wide array of support to the Modeling and Simulation (M&S;) community for Test and Evaluation (T&E;). The Targets Generation Laboratory develops simulation inputs to support visualization, radar frequency and infrared simulations. The Target Generation Laboratory also addresses emerging simulation technologies to maintain model products suitable for simulation input both today and in the future. The model verification and validation process was developed by the Virtual Targets Center staff and approved by the Army threat Validation Committee. Models are reviewed by this process to ensure that the model is properly constructed IAW AR 5-11 and properly threat representative IAW AR 73-1. The Virtual Targets project develops new, high-fidelity CAD models of field equipment for use throughout the Army and Department of Defense.
