Abstract: The present invention provides a virtual reality vehicle and/or equipment training system and platform within contextually relevant simulated environments. The system and platform will simulate accurate vehicle and/or equipment dynamics of various vehicles through vehicle modules. The simulated vehicles and/or equipment will be placed within contextually relevant simulated physical environments, and will be able to communicate with other vehicle modules and users of the platform. The system and platform allows for multiple simulated vehicles and/or equipment to exist and interact in the same simulated physical environment. The system allows for rapid development of trainers for different vehicles, different equipment, different physical environments, and different scenarios.

The system and platform simulates accurate vehicle and/or equipment dynamics of various vehicles through vehicle modules. The simulated vehicles and/or equipment are placed within contextually relevant simulated physical environments, and communicate with other vehicle modules and users of the platform. The system and platform allows for multiple simulated vehicles and/or equipment to exist and interact in the same simulated physical environment. The system allows for rapid development of trainers for different vehicles, different equipment, different physical environments, and different scenarios. The characteristics of the system which most directly enable this rapid development are the use of commodity computer hardware, use of common interface-deployment toolkits, and use of a data-driven architecture where participating modules are generic until being configured at runtime.

Abstract: An earth anchored equipment support platform for supporting equipment at a desired elevation above the ground surface where the earth anchor is enclosed and concealed by the equipment support platform includes a top, a bottom and a sidewall joined with and formed along the perimeter of the top. An earth anchor receiving space is enclosed by the sidewall. A sight passage extends through the sidewall and into the earth anchor receiving space, wherein the earth anchor receiving space is viewable from an exterior position of the sidewall though the sight passage. Two or more equipment support platforms can be stacked, one on top of each other, in a partially nested arrangement to increase equipment elevation.
