OGC CDB: Advancing Interoperability for Dynamic Environmental Representations

Interoperable geospatial standards for dynamic synthetic environmental representations.

Objective

The objective of this project is to develop an interoperable and high performance open geospatial standard specification for dynamic synthetic environmental representations.

Description

The OGC CDB Project is a collaboration project with CAE Inc. to advance interoperability for dynamic environmental representations. Effective training and simulation requires producing a unified synthetic representation of the world. Each simulation generates a synthetic environment using various types of geospatial information and processes with redundancies and data inconsistencies. Applications of such dynamic Modeling and Simulation (M&S) include aviation, emergency response, defense and military, etc. To enhance realism and efficiency in dynamic M&S applications, one of the most pressing needs is a “plug-and-play” synthetic environment database that can be shared, reused, and repurposed. However, the current situation is that M&S simulators require their own proprietary synthetic environment databases.
