Renaissance Sciences Corporation (RSC) is preparing for the Ground Vehicle Systems Engineering and Technology Symposium (GVSETS) which will take place August 4-6, 2015 at the Novi Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, MI.  This event is sponsored by the Michigan Chapter of the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) and is expected to draw key personnel and decision-makers, including leaders from the US Army and USMC, for initiatives, programs and technologies discussions in the realm of manned and unmanned ground vehicle systems.

RSC will be actively involved in the conference by presenting a paper at the Modeling & Simulation, Testing & Validation Technical Session (MSTV).  The paper entitled “Physics-Based Simulation of Realistic Lighting and Illumination for Next Generation Ground Vehicle Image Generators” was written by Renaissances Corporation (RSC) in collaboration with Blue Newt Software (BNS).  Mr. Bob Kuehne, RSC President, will present findings and conclusions in the Opal Room on August 6th at 11am EDT.    RSC looks forward to sharing their experience and software solutions for light rendering techniques in simulation made more realistic by taking the human vision system into consideration when developing capabilities to exploit modern advancements in hardware and graphics processing.

Renaissance Sciences Corporation (RSC) is excited for the role that it will play in the events being held in the Dayton, Ohio area in July. The IMAGE Conference will be held at the University of Dayton on July 7-8, 2015 followed by an Open House demonstration of simulation technologies at Esterline’s Demo Center in Xenia, Ohio. RSC is proud to be chairing a paper session,  presenting a paper and demonstrating our SimHDR-EO NVG stimulation software at Esterline’s Demo Center in conjunction with IMAGE 2015.

RSC representatives have been working diligently to prepare for a paper presentation at IMAGE 2015 by sharing their knowledge of Modeling & Simulation with such duties as paper session chair and author.   Kenny Hebert, Vice President, Products of RSC, is the chair of the Environment Modeling Session and Bob Kuehne, President of RSC, authored a paper entitled “Towards an Automated Process for Updating & Translating 3D Models & Terrain Databases to Meet New Simulation Requirements.”  The paper introduces a flexible and automated solution for reusing and updating existing terrain content and 3D models to save valuable time and money when supporting new simulation platforms.  The Environment Modeling Paper Session, in which this paper will be included, will be held on July 7, 2015 starting at 1:30pm.

Additionally, RSC will again partner with Esterline to demonstrate its SimHDR-EO NVG software to produce a realistic, physics-based, NVG stimulation using Barco projectors. This demonstration was a main attraction at the recent ITEC 2015 International Military, Education, and Simulation Tradeshow held in Prague, Czech Republic. IMAGE attendees are encouraged to take the opportunity to view our demonstration on July 7, 2015 from 6-9pm at the Esterline Demo Center located at 600 Bellbrook Avenue, Xenia, OH (advance registration is required through Esterline).

Renaissance Sciences Corporation’s (RSC) President, Mr. Bob Kuehne, will attend and present at this year’s Spring Simulation Technical Interchange Meeting (SimTIM) on 2-3 June 2015 at Wright Patterson AFB, OH.  Bob will be presenting to government and industry attendees on the latest technology being developed to capture and measure live training performance during MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain) training exercises to improve the accuracy of simulation models in virtual and constructive simulations.  In partnership with the foremost experts in Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) for real-time location applications, RSC is developing a new product suite called TEAM Works (Tactical Evaluation of Analytical Measures) that allows for the collection and analysis of real-time data during live urban training exercises.  In addition to providing instant feedback on the live training objectives, the individual performance data collected by TEAM Works will be used to create personalized performance models for virtual and constructive simulation platforms that can progress over time as the individual soldiers live skills improve.

This meeting is sponsored by the Air Vehicles Technology and Assessment and Simulation Branch, Aerospace Systems Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL/RQQD).  SimTIM provides a meeting place for the discussion of experience and lessons learned from developing and using simulation.  If you are going to be at SimTIM this year and would like to meet with Bob and have more detailed discussions about RSC technologies, let us know and we can set up a meeting.

Renaissance Sciences Corporation (RSC) and Esterline will once again combine expertise and technology at this year’s ITEC conference, the annual international hot spot for military training, education and simulation sectors. Attendees of the conference to be held from April 28-30, 2015 in Prague, Czech Republic, are invited to view RSC’s versatile NVG software product, SimHDR-EO, in Esterline Booth A3-300.

RSC will demonstrate its SimHDR-EO NVG product integrated into Diamond Visionics’ (DVC) GenesisIG for a realistic physics-based NVG stimulation using Esterline projectors. The demonstration will include a high-resolution, large area terrain database with accurate lighting effects stimulating NVG goggles in Esterline’s newest transportable dome system. Specific highlights of the demonstration included:

• 4-color (dedicated IR channel) NVG stimulation on the world’s highest resolution and brightest LED projector for Night Vision Goggle stimulation (Barco FS35 IR Series)
• Display of highly detailed and accurate physics-based illumination and atmospheric models in DVC’s GenesisIG
• Realistic urban lighting effects
• Accurate high-dynamic range rendering and environmental effects
• Results of RSC’s rapid database generation services

“We are extremely excited to be demonstrating our latest NVG capabilities inside of Esterline’s newest deployable visual system at ITEC,”  said Bob Kuehne, President of RSC. “The combination of Esterline’s high-performance mobile visual system with RSC’s physically-accurate and affordable NVG stimulation products provides amazing simulation value and capability to our customers and our simulation partners.”
