CAE-owned TERREX releases Terra Vista 5

Orlando, Fla  – Terrain Experts, Inc., a company owned by Canada’s CAE Inc., today announced at the Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation, and Education Conference (I/ITSEC) the latest release of its flagship commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) database generation software suite called Terra Vista™

Terra Vista is an easy-to-use, native Windows™-based software application that supports automatic generation of any size or type of terrain database, including databases for flight, ground, maritime, and military operations on urban terrain (MOUT). The new Terra Vista 5 features a next-generation user interface, multiple user collaborative technology, more flexible MMB (Multiple Machine Build) controller, and enhanced 3D interactive editing capabilities. In addition, Terra Vista 5 now includes integrated vector and elevation editors as well as support for a range of new third-party plug-ins for imagery processing, light detection and ranging (LiDAR) processing, and automatic feature extraction.

“All the new features and enhancements to Terra Vista 5 mean customers can build more detailed, correlated, and realistic terrain databases more rapidly and easier than ever before,” said Norman Miller, President, Terrain Experts, Inc. “In fact, DART™ database builds can be up to fifteen times faster in a single machine with the new software, and we’ve made significant enhancements to support rapid correlated database generation requirements with MMB for visual, semi-automated forces (SAF) and computer generated forces (CGF) databases.”

The release of Terra Vista 5 includes all of the features that have made Terra Vista the industry’s leading COTS software product for database generation. Databases created with Terra Vista are ready for immediate use on laptop, desktop, web streaming, dedicated image generators, or SAF/CGF systems in open, industry standard formats. Terra Vista 5 supports vertex level correlated databases in visual, sensor, SAF, and analytical formats in the industry’s fastest production environment to meet even the most aggressive operational and mission rehearsal/planning time and accuracy requirements.

TERREX is demonstrating Terra Vista 5 in Booth #1501 during the I/ITSEC show.

Terrain Experts, Inc., more commonly known as TERREX, is the developer of market-leading COTS software tools for terrain database generation and visualization. The Terra Vista terrain generation product line is used extensively for real-time 3-D image generation, battlefield visualization, mission rehearsal, mission planning, and many other applications that demand the highest possible realism, correlation, and build performance. CAE acquired Terrain Experts, Inc. in May 2005 as a stand-alone COTS software entity.
