Lockheed Martin - SAGE Image Generator

The Global Training and Logistics (GTL) unit at Lockheed Martin provides training and logistics support around the world. One of GTL’s latest visual solutions for ground based training is SAGE. This high fidelity Image Generator is currently being deployed in training systems from Advanced Gunnery Training Systems and Combat Convoy System to the UK’s Combined Arms Tactics Trainer.

The real-time environment pictured here is an integral part of the testing of SAGE’s functionality and capabilities. The database is complete with building interiors, outdoor markets, battle-damaged buildings, blowing dust, and debris. These elements are crucial components when developing realistic environments for ground based applications, such as Vehicle or Dismounted Infantry training.

Using Creator, the team at GTL developed this highly detailed 3D environment from a combination of new and existing props, buildings, and textures.

Then they used AI implant, an integral component in their SIMI automated force generation system, to inject lifelike characters and behaviors into their test scenarios.
