Pull-down and context specific pop-up menus facilitate definition of the simulation environment which comprises moving and stationary entities. Entity types include air, land, surface, and subsurface surveillance objects, unit platforms/radar sites, missiles (ballistic and non-ballistic) and EA/ES objects. Pre-defined world maps, user defined map areas, and digital terrain maps provide enhanced visualization. Extensive user - friendly controls allow operators to filter the tactical situation displays as well as both real-time and post-test data reduction providing optimal data visibility for observation and analysis. Mobile TacSIM's scenario generation facility allows users to automatically capture all operator actions as a scenario. Scenario files are plain ASCII text and are easily modified with any text editor. Users retain full interactive control of Mobile TacSIM during execution of a scenario and may perform any mix of scenario driven and manually initiated events providing real-time control of the simulation environment at all times.

Mobile TacSIM is configured as a man portable workstation supporting multiple radar and data link interfaces. The number of external interfaces supported by a single Mobiel Tac SIM is virtually unlimited. Since Mobile TacSIM has the same features as the full TacSIM system, it can be configured to participate in a TacSIM network simply by connecting it to the TacSIM LAN. In this configuration, Mobile TacSIM can take advantage of the distributed processing and operator controls of a full TacSIM network, while maintaining fully integrated situation awareness and data availabilty at each workstation.
