Synthetic Exercise Environment
Politically Neutral GIS Data for Military Operation Simulation
SAIC has developed the Synthetic Exercise Environment (SEE) to provide alternative geography options to military customers in the form of synthetic landmasses to support computer-aided exercises that are politically neutral. These exercises use standard compliant data and cartographic products to support mapping; command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I)system interfaces; integrated real world target databases; and a variety of other requirements.
SAIC SEE currently offers multiple synthetic continents in the major oceans that are geotypical of real terrain. Current SAIC SEE digital data products offered include a variety of standard multi-resolution cartographic products: vector product format (VPF) databases, digital terrain elevation data (DTED), and ARC digitized raster graphics (ADRG), among others. Cartographic products are also available in various standard digital formats to facilitate color-separate processing, printing, and digital presentation.

Our Integrated Toolsets Help Provide Time and Cost Savings
The integrated SAIC SEE production environment utilizes a variety of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) geospatial tools. Several customized products are also available to the SAIC SEE production environment to support vector data display, query, and export requirements as well as the generation of standard mapping products and exercise graphics. In addition, the SAIC SEE data interface is compatible with industry-standard data formats and, thus, is capable of being used by COTS products for further display, modeling, and analysis.
This integrated toolset allows compliant synthetic data products to be quickly generated using a streamlined and automated process that offers a significant savings when compared to the cost of producing similar real-world products.
The SAIC Synthetic Exercise Environment offers a diverse set of geospatial products and realism to exercise planners and participants who require a wide range of products to support exercise scenarios that simulate real-world military operations without the political sensitivities associated with using real world mapping environments.
