A method for providing remote visibility into a simulation environment, comprising: establishing over a secure public network a connection between a first videoconferencing client running on a first computer and a second videoconferencing client running on a second computer; receiving at the first computer a first live camera feed encompassing a first portion of the simulation environment over a secure private network, the second computer being located outside of the secure private network; displaying within a viewer the first live camera feed and a simulation control interface, a representation of a second portion of the simulation environment and/or a second live camera feed encompassing a third portion of the simulation environment; and granting the second videoconferencing client visual access to the viewer application through the first videoconferencing client.

Method and system for providing remote visibility into a simulation environment

Method and systems for executing an interactive computer simulation of a simulated vehicle. A central repository comprises a synthetic natural environment database (SNEDB) that comprises data for a plurality of geographically-located terrain skin representations of a computer generated. A remote data management system maintains the remote repository comprising a subset of the SNEDB accessible to an interactive computer simulation station. The interactive computer simulation station sends, over the network, a data request for geographical locations from the SNEDB and allows users to interact in the interactive computer simulation for controlling the simulated vehicle. The remote data management system computes a plurality of expected geographical positions for the first simulation station and anticipatorily updates, via the network, the subset of the SNEDB stored in the remote repository with a supplemental subset of the SNEDB corresponding to one or more of the computed expected geographical positions.

Method and systems for anticipatorily updating a remote repository

Method and systems, for executing an interactive computer simulation of a simulated vehicle, comprising a remote data management system, a central repository, a remote repository and an interactive computer simulation station. The central repository comprises a synthetic natural environment database (SNEDB) that comprises data of a plurality of data types for geographically-located terrain skin representations. The remote data management system maintains the remote repository storing a subset of the SNEDB. The station comprises data consumers each requiring one or more data types and sends, over the network, a data request for geographical locations from the SNEDB. The station allows users to interact in the simulation for controlling the simulated vehicle. The remote data management system determines a set of data types considering requesting data consumers and updates the subset of the SNEDB for the geographical locations with data of only the set of data types.

Method and systems for updating a remote repository based on data-types

Method and systems for executing an interactive computer simulation of a simulated vehicle comprising a remote data management system, a central repository, a remote repository and an interactive computer simulation station. The central repository stores a synthetic natural environment database (SNEDB) that comprises data records for a plurality of geographically-located terrain skin representations of a computer generated environment. The remote data management system maintains the remote repository storing a subset of data records from the SNEDB. Each one of the subset of data records has a priority tag. The station sends a data request for geographical locations from the SNEDB and allows users to interact in the simulation for controlling the simulated vehicle. The remote data management system monitors remaining storage capacity of the remote repository and, upon reaching a high-level threshold value, removes the most extraneous data record considering priority tags until reaching a low-level threshold value.
