Brussels, Belgium - ITEC - May 12, 2009 - Presagis^TM, a leading provider of commercial-off-the shelf (COTS) modeling, simulation and embedded display graphics software, continues to demonstrate its commitment to helping customers eliminate integration barriers and realize the true value of feature-rich development tools. Introducing new capabilities across its entire product portfolio of well-known brands (Terra Vista^TM, Creator^TM, Vega Prime^TM, STAGE^TM, VAPS^TM XT, and AI.implant^TM),   Presagis remains committed to delivering on its promise of providing an open, flexible and tightly integrated suite of development tools.

"It is critical that organizations invest wisely now, but that they do not forget to look to the future," said Patrice Commune, President, Presagis. "Presagis is a strong, well-established company that is working to help customers focus on the ways technology can help them to reduce project costs and timelines. In the near-term this helps companies increase productivity and quality of work while setting the stage to achieve long-term innovation and set new standards of excellence."

The growing need for complex scenario development to support applications such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) training and airport modeling is putting an incredible demand on system integrators. The need for synthetic environments to include high-altitude, low-flight, detailed urban environments and large geographical landscapes in a single scenario incorporates vast amounts of data, requiring skilled development and lengthy project timelines. With new features, increased integration between its tools, and support for open standards, Presagis is working ahead of the curve to ensure developers can leverage a unified suite of tools supporting content creation and human machine interface (HMI) development through to visualization and simulation.

"No matter the type of application, there is a common need to reduce timelines and costs, and focus on delivering accurate and dynamic scenes," said Robert Kopersiewich, Vice President, Product and Program Management, Presagis. "Presagis is helping its customers quickly create robust scenarios by introducing features across the software suite that give developers new ways to increase the fidelity of scenes and integrate more information.  What used to take weeks or months to develop can now be done in a matter of days."

Based on open standards such as OpenFlight^TM, TerraPage^TM and Common Database (CDB), recent and upcoming releases in the Presagis portfolio will enable developers to improve and enhance:

• Content Creation
  • Generate a CDB using Terra Vista 6.0 and CDB-compliant models with Creator 4.0
  • Quickly create detailed airports and building interiors with Creator Airports and Creator Buildings modules
• Simulation
  • Use OpenFlight and CDB content with STAGE to define simulation scenarios
  • Leverage the deep integration of AI.implant with Presagis simulation and content creation applications to easily include artificial intelligence in any virtual environment
  • Use SIM OneNet to bridge simulations within simulation networks (including to other non-M&S applications like Google Earth)
• Visualization
  • Augment realism with improved aesthetics such as dynamic shadows in Vega Prime
• HMI Development
  • Create sophisticated 2D overlays and interfaces for a Vega Prime 3-D scene with VAPS XT

ITEC attendees can learn more about the leading-edge software from Presagis by visiting booth B100. For those interested in learning more about CDB, please register for the user group meeting on May 13 from 8:00-9:00 a.m. in auditorium 500 at http://www.presagis.com/request/cdb_ug_itec09/.
