context_page_description: Mounted Warfare TestBed at Fort Knox, Kentucky, was the premier site for distributed simulation experiments in the US Army for over 20 years. It used simulation systems, including fully manned virtual simulators and computer-generated forces, to perform experiments that examined current and future weapon systems, concepts, and tactics.
  "In name only, Cyberspace had its origins in science fiction: its historical beginnings and technological innovations are clearly military..." - James der Derian, Antidiplomacy
context_section_description: The Advanced Reconfigurable Research Tool was a virtual simulator developed using OneSAF TestBed as a software base.  It was very modular to allow rapid changes to vehicle characteristics, and it could model many vehicle types, like the M1 Abrams, M2 Bradley, Stryker, HMMWV, along with various variants from the Future Combat Systems program.  It incorporated an innovative mobility model for the OneSAF TestBed (OTB) simulation that used SIMNET and CCTT soil codes in the digital terrain database to provide fine-grained soils with appropriate mobility response for computer-generated entities.
