Real-time Visualization of the Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS)
We designed and developed the real-time 3D animation
of the MLRS vehicle for Dynamic Analysis, Inc. This
software product was developed in Borland's Delphi Object-Pascal environment using custom
Digital Radiance low-level 3D graphics routines. Using custom Digital Radiance graphics
routines allowed the product to be included as-is in MLRS test and monitoring applications
without a requirement for additional 3D graphics software or hardware. Even on low-end
PCs, the animation is smoothly calculated and displayed in real-time.

| The MLRS monitoring program, shown to the left, is synchronized via a
live data feed with the actual in-the-field launcher. Bearings and weapon status are
shown graphically in real-time and are accompanied by weapon sound effects. |
