“Once again, we’re honored that the ADF and the Australian Army have chosen to continue and strengthen this close and ongoing relationship with us,” said Ryan Stephenson, BIA managing director. “BIA has proudly supplied the ADF with the best commercial-off-the-shelf game-based simulation software for over a decade.”
The agreement enables ADF organizations to download and use the latest version of VBS3 and access BIA support teams in Australia and other worldwide locations. A second contract provides for continued support and maintenance of BISim’s highly capable Image Generator (IG) software on all the ADF’s Weapon Training Simulation Systems and Mobile Weapon Training Systems.
“The ADF agreement is part of a larger simulation ecosystem stemming from a strong partnership between allied nations,” said Rahul Thakkar, BISim’s president.
BISim’s VBS4 and TerraTools software are increasingly used in Australia and New Zealand. In addition, VBS4 supports AUKUS partners the U.S. Army’s Synthetic Training Environment program and the UK Ministry of Defence’s Common Virtual Simulation 2.0 project.
