Virtual Sand Table

Modernized and Streamlined Airfield Damage Repair Training

Powerful, adaptive, modern and user-friendly, DS2's Virtual Sand Table brings Airfield Damage Repair training to another level. Integrated with the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC)’s Command and Control (C2) Airfield Damage Repair Simulator (ADR Sim), VST configures and manages exercise scenarios utilizing the latest gaming engine technology.

Historically, ADR training was conducted using 3-D printed models, printed maps, and spreadsheets. With the development of the Command and Control (C2) ADR simulator, the idea of using VR and gaming technology in creation of a digital table was born.

With an expertly designed virtual interface, VST empowers instructors and students with control through each step of the ADR training process. From start to finish, VST simplifies scenario configuration, management, location awareness, labor and material forecasting, injects, and mitigation strategies.

Simple

Implemented with straightforward user controls and realistic environment conditions, instructors are empowered to design and control exercises, manage injects, and test student knowledge.

Adaptive

VST ditches outdated training and limited insights, replacing them with interactive 3D visualizations. Students engage directly, experiencing consequences and gaining deeper understanding.

Scalable

No two installations are the same. VST is a platform constructed and customized to scale—not the other way around. DS2 configures VST to model your installation with the ability to scale up to 6 tables.

Decision Management

VST has built-in, virtual repair processes modeled from their real-world processes, allowing teams to rapidly witness the outcomes of their decisions and other factors across the entire training process.

Risk Mitigation

Training with VST allows all factors to be considered before a decision is made and in turn, allows investigation of critical decisions that help to avoid loss of life and equipment in real-life scenarios.

Customization

Instructors can customize scenarios, equipment, labor rates, teams, and viewports (i.e., table views) across the installation to develop an unlimited amount of real-life scenarios for training.
