Terrain Services

Experience That Counts

Since 1991, Loyola has developed a strong, positive reputation for being a responsive, high quality, terrain solution provider. This support continues today, with ongoing support contracts with many Government organizations. Loyola personnel support cost-effective and responsive terrain and 3D model generation and enhancement utilizing the newest COTS hardware for small and large complex simulation federations.

Terrain Solutions

Loyola is at the forefront of developing solutions for a wide spectrum of customers. If you need a demonstration database, turn-key terrain system or on-site personnel, we can provide solutions that are tailored to your unique requirements. Our solutions range from integration of high performance computing, using current and emerging COTS technology, and personnel that are trained in terrain development.

Terrain Process

Leveraging years of experience and our Research and Development programs, we have developed optimal processes that rapidly move data from Government, commercial and open sources to correlated terrain formats that are usable in LVC databases.

Government Advantage

Services to support terrain databases and 3D model development can be requested from our JFCOM sponsor on a reimbursable basis. Leveraging these resources, databases and 3D modeling support can be provided at a significantly reduced cost and data can be provided on a Government to Government basis.

JFCOM Terrain Cell

Loyola Enterprises developed the "Terrain Cell" concept for Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) which brought the best technology and people together in a real-time approach to developing complex Live Virtual and Constructive (LVC) databases. The Terrain Cell uses Loyola's technologies that were developed in partnership with the Government, academia, and industry which have significantly reduced database preparation time, effort, and cost. The real-time aspect of this support is by Loyola professionals working side by side with exercise planners resulting in simulation databases that are robust, relevant and reliable. Loyola also has terrain database generation capability in our Hampton facility for our commercial customers.
