ForgeFX Simulations has developed a next-generation virtual reality training platform designed to support high-stakes, scenario-based mission rehearsal across defense, emergency response, critical infrastructure, industrial safety, and other operational domains where preparation cannot rely on real-world risk exposure. Built on the Unity engine and powered by ForgeFX’s proprietary ForgeSIM™ Framework, the Mission Rehearsal and Tactical Response Training Simulator integrates four foundational technologies to deliver repeatable, data-driven training:

– AI-powered subject matter assistance
– GIS-enabled sand table planning
– LiDAR-scanned photorealistic environments
– Procedural digital replicas of real-world devices and machines

The simulator originated with a pilot focused on high-risk hazard response and has since evolved into a flexible product capable of modeling complex operational workflows for any organization that requires staff to perform critical actions under pressure. Whether preparing emergency teams for hazardous incidents, training utility workers for dangerous field operations, or enabling industrial crews to rehearse rare but high-impact events, the simulator provides a safe, realistic, and collaborative learning environment.

Scenario-Based Mission Rehearsal for Any High-Risk Environment

The system enables organizations to design and deploy complete mission scenarios that mirror their real-world operating conditions. Training begins in a collaborative planning room where teams gather around an interactive GIS sand table featuring real terrain data, LiDAR scans, and geospatial overlays. Using these tools, trainees review the operational landscape, discuss roles, plan movement, and coordinate response strategies before entering the immersive field environment.

Once the plan is set, trainees transition seamlessly into a photorealistic virtual environment—digitally reconstructed using LiDAR scanning and photogrammetry—where they execute operations under realistic constraints. The simulator can model diverse scenarios including hazardous material leaks, industrial facility failures, multi-team emergency response, machine or equipment malfunctions, confined-space hazards, illicit laboratory investigations, environmental disaster response, and more.

Real-World Digital Replicas and Interactive Field Workflows

A defining capability of the simulator is its integration of procedural digital replicas of operational equipment. These are highly accurate virtual replicas of devices such as detectors, meters, sensors, machinery interfaces, power tools, emergency equipment, and other field instruments that users would encounter during real missions.

These digital replicas function exactly like their real-world counterparts, allowing trainees to:

– Perform complex operational procedures
– Walk through diagnostic steps
– Respond to equipment faults
– Take readings under evolving conditions
– Apply standard operating protocols
– Practice safe handling without real-world risk

This enables hands-on mastery without consuming consumables, exposing workers to hazards, or removing equipment from the line.

 

Voice-Activated AI Subject Matter Expert for On-Demand Guidance

The simulator features a voice-activated AI Subject Matter Expert (SME) trained on standard operating procedures, field manuals, equipment documentation, and organization-specific protocols. Trainees can ask questions naturally through speech, and the AI responds with context-aware guidance directly related to the scenario or device being used.

The AI SME provides:

– Step-by-step procedural instruction
– Safety advisories in response to user actions
– Real-time explanations of device behavior
– Protocol clarification when trainees need support
– Detailed operational insights based on mission state

Because the AI runs independently of the scenario, it can be expanded or retrained without altering mission environments.

Multiuser, Distributed Team Training

The simulator supports networked multiuser collaboration, enabling multiple trainees, supervisors, and instructors to work together in the same virtual scenario regardless of their physical location. This capability allows for:

– Joint operations rehearsal
– Command-and-control oversight
– Instructor-led demonstrations
– Multi-role coordination
– Remote supervision and evaluation

Teams can communicate, divide responsibilities, and practice interdependent workflows—essential for operations that require synchronized action.

 

After-Action Review and Performance Analytics

All trainee actions are captured and analyzed using the ForgeSIM™ TRACK performance system. Organizations receive detailed after-action insights including:

– Task completion metrics
– Decision timelines
– Procedural accuracy
– Safety compliance
– Errors, omissions, and mission-impact events

Machine learning models can highlight trends, training gaps, and skill progression over time to support workforce readiness.

 

Flexible, Scalable, and Cross-Platform Deployment

Built with a modular architecture, the simulator supports rapid scenario creation and expansion across industries. It is hardware-agnostic and optimized for:

– Meta Quest VR devices
– Desktop PCs
– Mixed reality platforms
– Networked multi-user environments

Organizations can start with a single scenario and scale to a full mission-rehearsal program without changing core technology.

A Transformational Tool for High-Consequence Training

The Mission Rehearsal and Tactical Response Training Simulator delivers an immersive, repeatable, and data-driven approach to preparing personnel for operations where mistakes carry significant consequences. By combining realistic environments, collaborative mission planning, AI-guided support, and digital replicas of field equipment, the platform provides an effective way to build readiness, standardize training, and reduce risk—across any industry.

Whether preparing industrial teams for hazardous processes, training emergency responders for complex incidents, or providing utility crews with safe rehearsal environments, this simulation platform gives organizations the ability to train for the scenarios that matter most.
