South Carolina Purchases Virtual Battlefield System 1 (VBS1™) Synthetic Training System

Orlando, FL. September 22, 2005 – Coalescent Technologies Corporation announced today that the State of South Carolina has now joined the list of State, Federal, and Local governments ordering the VBS1™ synthetic training system. The South Carolina National Guard has ordered a VBS1™ training suite, along with installation, training, and support. Delivery and training will occur in the last quarter of CY2005.

Coalescent’s National Guard VBS1™ training suite includes Military Training Consoles, the new VBS1™ Eos Edition with comprehensive After Action Review (AAR) module, and specialized Army National Guard models with force protection training scenarios.

In CY2004 the Army National Guard (ARNG) began procurement and delivery of VBS1™ to selected National training mobilization centers. VBS1™ provides the Guard a proven, successful, fully-interactive 3D synthetic training application that has been specifically tailored to address the Guard’s escalating operational commitments at home and abroad. VBS1™ is a modular, scenario driven, and deployable synthetic training system with photo-realistic terrain, user-definable mission scenarios, inherent military doctrine, client-specific symbology, and variable environmental conditions.

After having the opportunity to train with VBS1™ at the mobilization and training centers, several individual States, like South Carolina, have decided to procure the system for their State training requirements and to aid in their recruiting and retention efforts. To date, VBS1™ is fielded in eight States.

Built on the Bohemia Interactive Studio’s game engine, Real Virtuality™, that is found in the award winning Operation Flashpoint™ product line, VBS1™ is designed and customizable to meet military, law enforcement, homeland security, and first responder training requirements. Deployed on laptops, desktops or through the Internet, VSB1 delivers the most cost-effective solution for worldwide interactive training. Currently, VBS1™ is fielded to multiple locations within the U.S. Marine Corps and being used by the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Secret Service, and several overseas military customers.
