Release 3.12 – immersion in C2, large terrain support and force-on-force

Mission planning intends to give everyone involved a clear understanding of the ground. Release 3.12 enables key features, allowing teams to explore terrain from ground and aerial perspectives within the same shared environment.

The outcome is what we describe as “future memory”: entering the mission area with a sense that you have already been there. Familiarity with routes, elevation and landmarks reduces the attention needed for orientation, leaving more headspace for decisions.

Large terrain support, and the new fly-through feature lets operators survey loaded terrain from the air at real-world scale. They can examine approaches, changes in elevation and vantage points, extending preparation to longer-distance rotary-wing and unmanned-system mission rehearsals. And of course, that will allow line-of-sight later on.

Several users can explore independently at the same time while remaining in one collaborative session. Their positions stay visible to the team, and their aerial surveys leave the shared ground-level terrain unchanged. Teams can investigate different areas in parallel and bring their observations back into the planning discussion.

Clearer spatial references help turn those observations into a brief. The redesigned compass supports communication by direction and bearing, a new scale reference makes distances easier to judge, and altitude is now expressed as height above ground.
