BISim recently demonstrated a Brigade vs Battalion scenario in VBS4, with over 2,000 high-fidelity military entities, all of which were moving and engaging along the Polish border. Every entity moved with high-fidelity animations and behaviors and every round was simulated with accurate ballistics. This represents a massive capability enhancement over VBS3. This huge scenario was generated rapidly and intuitively using the new VBS Plan capability within VBS4. BISim also demonstrated the capability of VBS4 to simulate and render large crowds, demonstrating 5,000 moving civilian entities in the field of view at 60fps. Both pedestrians and traffic can be represented with support for traffic lights, lane following, etc. VBS4 can meet training use cases that were previously only achievable with traditional constructive simulation, but with unprecedented entity-level visual and behavioral fidelity. The “ready for training” VBS4 20.1 release is scheduled for mid-2020.

BISim CFO Stephen Grist talks with Jack Sweeney of the CFO Thought Leader podcast about his career in finance and working in the military-simulation industry. Grist says in the interview: "...We see that many of our relationships with our primary customers have been for an average of 10 or 11 years or so, with, for example, the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine Corps. We’ve only been in existence for about 15 years, so this spoke to me of a very deep customer engagement. A very successful product makes the customers themselves successful, and in fact that’s been the case. While the government might be the official customer, the real customers are the 500,000 or so military personnel who are trained each year using our software, which helps them to do their job in a safer way and reduces the likelihood of mistakes that could harm themselves, their colleagues, or civilians."
