UK buys Virtual Battlespace 3 simulation training tool

Britain is purchasing the Virtual Battlespace 3 simulation training solution.

The Ministry of Defense has bought an enterprise license for VBS3, which will become the British military's Defense Virtual Simulation (DVS).

"DVS will be the UK MOD's common virtual simulation tool to provide interoperable, accessible and deployable virtual simulation capability across the MOD," according to a Bohemia Interactive news release. "The DVS capability will enable simulated activity across all levels of training, including live and virtual simulation, education and experimentation."

VBS3 includes VBS Radio for voice communication between remote players, "which offers unlimited channels and degradation based on distance and weather, features not included with the baseline version of VBS Radio," Bohemia Interactive said.
