A virtual reality C3 network battle management and analysis tool

A software package is being developed to improve the situation awareness of network managers by application of virtual reality (VR) techniques. The situation awareness virtual environment for command, control, and communications networks (SaveC3) package gathers network and, in a military application, battlefield status information, from disparate sources and displays the information as text and pictures. The visualization makes use of simple "glyphs" or status icons, along with tactical overlays (battle plans) and unit locations on three-dimensional terrain. The display can be by VR headset or by a three-dimensional perspective representation on a two-dimensional screen.
