What is LIFE?
LIFE describes what has often been missing from realistic simulation training….the appearance that a scene is “alive” with
friendly forces, enemy forces, non-combatants, cars, trucks, and animals. Recognizing this deficiency, SDS developed its
LIFE-based Scene Content capability to add the Artificially-Intelligent (AI) driven content required to support effective Intelligence
Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and weapons delivery training in virtually any urban or open-terrain environment.
LIFE-based Scene Content allows customers to experience realistic virtual-worlds, “alive” with content, while executing
scenario-based training using SDS’ extensive simulation products . No longer are crews forced to scan a barren landscape dotted
with minimal amounts of entities. Instead they are immersed in a virtual environment teeming with activity that replicates the
real world. Whether it’s insurgents emplacing IEDs, children playing soccer or following a vehicle through a traffic jam in a major
city, LIFE provides the means to create challenging environments for training crew members
involved in ISR or search and destroy missions.
