The contract also includes an enterprise-wide licence.The NZDF also contracted BIA to develop an improved representation of the New Zealand Light Armoured Vehicle, and for continued maintenance of its licence of TerraTools, a terrain generation tool used to create high-fidelity, correlated terrain for simulation.
"We are grateful for the trust the NZDF has placed in VBS for the last 15 years. Our commitment to deliver added value continues in our VBS4 release,” said BIA's managing director, Ryan Stephenson.
“The NZ Army’s Command and Control Systems School are real power users of simulation tools and have developed considerable expertise in leveraging simulation as a multiplier to produce training effects for their service men and women. We are proud to continue supporting them in their work.”
