ADR Simulator

Overview

ADR Sim is a mission-critical simulator developed for the US Airforce that creates a digital twin of various military airfields across the world. The simulation trains personnel in airfield damage repair procedures using geospatially-accurate terrain and infrastructure data converted from QGIS and ArcGIS sources.

Key Features

• ▹Geospatially-accurate (~1 meter) digital twin military airfield environments from QGIS/ArcGIS data
• ▹Custom Unity editor tools and workflows for converting geospatial (shape and .tif) data into optimized game assets.
• ▹Advanced agent navigation using A* pathfinding and behavior trees
• ▹VR companion app with remote communication
• ▹WPF (Noesis) integration for complex UI systems

Challenges & Solutions

The primary challenge was figuring out mostly from scratch how to translate vast amounts of complex geospatial data from GIS tools like QGIS into performant game assets while maintaining accuracy for military training standards. Solved through custom Unity editor tooling and optimized terrain rendering strategies.
