Orlando, FL. February 17, 2006  – Coalescent Technologies Corporation announced today that it is completing the development of an Information Operations (IO) module for the Virtual Battlefield System 1 (VBS1™) synthetic environment training and mission rehearsal tool. This module will be interoperable with other existing VBS1™ add-on modules and is designed to help train and practice proper decision making actions taken to affect adversary information and information systems while defending one’s own information and information systems, in accordance with the Joint doctrine for IO contained in JP 3-13.

Recognizing, processing, protecting, and exploiting relevant information is a critical skill for success on the battlefield, in the Global War on Terror (GWOT), and in responses to natural and/or national emergencies. The relevancy of IO training is independent of the level of conflict, the severity of the disaster response, or the seniority of the trainee. Even down to the tactical level, our troops and first responders operate in an information-rich and information-dependent environment. Awareness and practice helps build the decision-making skills needed to make the correct decisions, properly understand and prioritize the information, and ensure vital data is not overlooked of delayed getting where it needs to be. The goal is to maintain information superiority, meaning that our information is faster, more accurate, and more comprehensive than the adversary’s, whether that adversary is an opposing military or terrorist force or time wasted in effectively responding to a natural disaster.
