The Merge
Where simulation meets reality
A tactical simulation environment for scenario development and training visualization. Build scenarios with multiple entities, define behaviors, and observe results through authentic radar displays and situational awareness tools.
Why The Merge?
Authentic Displays
Multiple radar display modes - PPI (Plan Position Indicator), B-Scope, and God's Eye views. Each display type matches real-world equivalents used in training and operations.
Behavior Modeling
Define entity behaviors using a visual editor. Create intercept profiles, patrol patterns, and reactive behaviors. Export and share scenario configurations.
Offline Capable
Run scenarios completely offline. No server connection required. All simulation processing happens locally. Use your own map tiles or included offline maps.
Features
Entity Management
Create and configure multiple entities with position, heading, speed, and classification. Track state over time.
Radar Displays
PPI, B-Scope, and God's Eye displays with configurable range, elevation, and clutter settings.
Weapons Modeling
Dynamic Launch Zone (DLZ) calculations. Configure weapon parameters and observe engagement envelopes.
Flight HUD
First-person HUD overlay with altitude, heading, and target information for pilot-perspective analysis.
Behavior Editor
Visual scripting for entity behaviors. Define waypoints, reactions, and complex tactical maneuvers.
Network Server
Optional networked mode for distributed simulation. Connect multiple instances for collaborative scenarios.
Use Cases
Scenario Development: Build training scenarios with precise control over entity positions, behaviors, and engagement parameters. Export scenarios as JSON for version control and sharing.
After-Action Review: Import track data and replay engagements with multiple synchronized views. Step through timelines frame-by-frame to understand decision points.
Concept Exploration: Test "what-if" scenarios quickly. Modify parameters on the fly and observe effects immediately. No complex setup or server infrastructure required.
