S2Focus™

S2Focus™ is an all-encompassing distributed simulation tool suite for project development and run-time. S2Focus is object-oriented software specifically designed to run on the Windows® Operating System and specifically for High Level Architecture (HLA), with continuing support for Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) interoperability. Tool components are integrated in a cohesive and easy to use windowing environment that includes the following features:

• Network Interface Layer
• 2D and 3D Visualization (Viewer)
• Terrain Generation Option (Viewer Add-On)
• Data Capture, Analysis and Debrief (Recorder, Analyzer & AAR)
• Exercise Control (Manager)
• Mission Planning/Rehearsal (Mission Planner)
• Protocol Bridge (Bridges protocols, e.g. DIS « HLA)

S2Focus™ Tool Suite

Low Cost

Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) tool suite lowers risk and shortens development schedules

Ease of Use

• Cohesive local and distributed control of components from one common Windows environment
• Windows 2000®/XP® Environment including customizable tool bars and pull down menus
• On-line help
• Developer and User documentation
• API's and example code (plug-ins)

Extendibility

• Object-Oriented Design
• C/C++
• Easy to use Development Class Hierarchy Infrastructure
• Modular components independent of Network Protocol and/or FOM

Trusted Software Development Methodology (TSDM)

S2Focus received high ratings in an independent assessment of the TSDM principles conducted by Secure Knowledge, Inc. TSDM is a software assurance metric used to identify trusted software for use in a classified, secure environment.

Low Cost Licensing

Dongle based licensing schema allows software to run on multiple machines.

• Software License is not node locked to a particular host ID
• S2Focus Tool Suite License provides AAR, Visualization, Management, Logging, Planning and developer APIs for one low price

Low Cost Hardware Requirements

The S2Focus application is designed for use on Windows 2000® and XP Professional based computers. In addition, efficient and effective 3D visualization is achieved using low cost 3D graphics cards (e.g. nVidia GeForce Fx). Extending S2Focus™ requires Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 with the latest Service Pack.
