Towards a common platform simulator for European armored combat vehicles using a modular software architecture

Abstract

In this paper we present a novel approach for building a common software platform for simulating armored combat vehicles. We use Unreal Engine 4 as our simulation software. The presented approach is an attempt towards integrating different combat vehicle modules into a simulated environment. The presented simulator architecture can be used in various training combat scenarios, such as reconnaissance, coordinated firing on targets, different cooperation scenarios, etc.
