VBS1™ is a fully interactive, three-dimensional training system providing a premium synthetic environment in which team members may practice small unit tactics. Photo-realistic terrain, user-definable mission scenarios, customized vehicles and equipment, and variable environmental conditions enhance the team training experience. After-action review support assists the training facilitator in assessing the team's performance and in promoting continuous process improvement.

VBS1™ offers realistic battlefield simulations and the ability to operate a myriad of land, sea, and air vehicles across vast outdoor terrains. Instructors may create virtually any imaginable scenario and then engage the simulation from multiple viewpoints. The advanced squad-management system enables participants to efficiently issue orders to squad members as well as coordinate both lethal and non-lethal tasks. VBS1™ allows free play within scenario-based training missions. It also incorporates real-time simulation of wind, rain, fog, clouds, time-of-day, sunrise and sunset, and tides. Coalescent developed and licensed numerous add-on software packages for the VBS1™ product line from 2002 through early 2006.

VBS1™ is based on the commercial gaming engine known as Real VirtualityT created by Bohemia Interactive Studios. It was specifically tailored to meet the individual needs of military, law enforcement, homeland defense, and first responder training environments. VBS is easily deployed on laptops or desktops or through the Internet, delivering cost-effective solutions for worldwide interactive training.

Coalescent Technologies stopped shipping VBS1™ in March 2006 based upon the availibility of our newest synthetic simulation products found in MVTC™. Coalescent however, continues to technically support many of our VBS1™ customers not yet upgraded to the MVTC™ system.
