We at FCSI have been involved with data generation since 1991. We offer our experiences as helpful guides to navigate through the complicated process of data development. FCSI understands your frustrations with other DBGS products on the market. We also understand the pressure put on you and your data generation group from customers who want more realistic data and your management that want to lower costs of database development. Database generation technology has been looked upon and remains the necessary evil to provide simulation solutions.

Driving Database Costs Down

The IT3D^® Database Generation System is a very innovative solution to this complicated problem. FCSI has developed IT3D-DBGS to support your needs of providing the best at data at the lowest cost. IT3D-DBGS is an integrated and comprehensive vector editor and simulation data generation tool. The interface and database storage is built upon the highly scalable and customizable Smallworld™ GIS from GE Energy. Below is a summary of functionality that is provided to you for your data development needs.

•  Feature Editing and Version Management is integrated into IT3D-DBGS.
•  Feature Scatter is a very robust tool that allows you to quickly populate your database.
•  Database Queries allows you to search for unique combinations of feature attribution and geometry.
•  Programmatic Attribution allows you to create simulation attribution that uses programmatic rules to find feature associations.
•  Large Databases are supported because of the scalability of the underlying GIS database technology.
•  Road and Water Networks tools allow you to quickly create navigable networks.
•  Terrain Generation integrates the road and intersection geometry into the terrain.
•  Raised Feature functionality allows you to create profiled buildings and raised forests the GIS area footprints.
•  Building Internals can be created automatically to support training such as Sniper or Dismounted Infantry.
•  Power Line are generated from different feature types.
•  Pipe/Sewer Generation allows you to see the underground networks for security analysis
•  Lane Generation supports applications that require individual lane data for SAF type of functionality
•  Import GIS and simulation files.
•  Export GIS and simulation files.

These tools provide you with the ability to generate the entire database at one time or generate subsets. You can change individual feature properties easily so that you do not have to create very specific rules for several objects in the database. Also geometry and feature placement is done within the GIS, so all your edits are preserved. We do not remove or add objects in a process that you cannot control and get repeatable data from unlike some process orientated DBGS products on the market.
