DoD Joint Forces - Knowledge Advanced Visualization Environment


(SUFFOLK, Va., - Feb. 5, 2009) -- A new laboratory being built at U.S. Joint Forces Command here will enable analysts and warfighters alike to "step into" data fields like those that bombard them during real-life missions.

The "knowledge advanced visualization environment," or KAVE, will expose many of the variables and "what ifs" associated with real-life operations, explained Army Maj. Caeli Hull, the command's deputy division officer for innovation and experimentation.

Users will don 3-D glasses before stepping into the 18-by-10-foot structure. State-of-the-art computer effects and multiple data feeds delivered through screens on all four walls and the floor will converge to create a realistic, three-dimensional environment.

Hull called the KAVE a big step forward in helping joint warfighters and planners view real-world operational data in innovative ways.
