Immersive training scenario systems and related structures

Abstract

Immersive training scenario systems and related methods are provided. The immersive training scenario systems can provide at least one simulated structure. The at least one simulated structure can include a base structure having at least one surface thereon. One or more substrates with one or more photographic images printed thereon are applied to the surface of the base structure so that the simulated structure has realistic visual characteristics representative of a mission site or mission scenario.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An immersive training scenario system for training military, law enforcement or other first responder personnel, the system comprising:
 one or more simulated structure, each of the simulated structures comprising:
 at least one base structure having at least one surface thereon; 
 one or more substrates with one or more photographic images printed thereon applied to the surface of the base structure so that the simulated structure has realistic visual characteristics representative of a mission site or a mission scenario for military, law enforcement or other first responder personnel. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one surface of the base structure comprises at least one of an interior wall or an exterior wall. 
     
     
         3 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one surface of the base structure comprises a roof. 
     
     
         4 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the one or more photographic images comprise site-specific photographic images. 
     
     
         5 . The system according to  claim 4 , wherein the one or more photographic images are one or more photographic images representative of at least one of the mission site or the mission scenario. 
     
     
         6 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the one or more substrates comprise polyvinyl chloride film. 
     
     
         7 . The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising one or more safety training furnishings placed into an operational environment in and around the at least one simulated structure. 
     
     
         8 . The system according to  claim 7 , wherein the safety training furnishings comprise material that collapses upon forceful contact, the material being covered with a substrate having a photographic image printed thereon to create a realistic visual characteristic of a physical item that the safety training furnishing is trying to replicate. 
     
     
         9 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one base structure comprises a modular structure. 
     
     
         10 . The system according to  claim 9 , wherein each simulated structure comprises multiple modular structures arranged together to form the at least one simulated structure, the one or more substrates with one or more photographic images printed thereon applied to the surface of each modular structure being aligned with the one or more substrates on the surfaces of the other modular structures to create a visual appearance of the modular structures as the singular simulated structure. 
     
     
         11 . The system according to  claim 10 , wherein the system comprises multiple simulated structures, each simulated structure comprises multiple modular structures arranged together to form the at least one simulated structure, the one or more substrates with one or more photographic images printed thereon applied to the surface of each modular structure being aligned with the substrates on the surfaces of the other modular structures to create a visual appearance of the modular structures as the single simulated structure, each of the simulated structures positioned relative to the other simulated structures to create the realistic visual characteristics representative of the mission site or the mission scenario for military, law enforcement or other first responder personnel. 
     
     
         12 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more photographic images are taken at an appropriate angle and are representative of an actual structure expected within at least one of the mission site or the mission scenario for military, law enforcement or other first responder personnel to create the simulated structure that has realistic visual characteristics representative of the expected actual structure and the mission site or mission scenario. 
     
     
         13 . A simulated structure for training military, law enforcement, or other first responder personnel, the structure comprising:
 at least one base structure having at least one surface thereon;   one or more substrates with one or more photographic images printed thereon applied to the surface of the base structure so that the simulated structure has realistic visual characteristics representative of a mission site or a mission scenario for military, law enforcement or other first responder personnel.   
     
     
         14 . The structure according to  claim 13 , wherein the at least one surface of the base structure comprises at least one of an interior wall or an exterior wall. 
     
     
         15 . The structure according to  claim 13 , wherein the at least one surface of the base structure comprises a roof. 
     
     
         16 . The structure according to  claim 13 , wherein the one or more photographic images comprise site-specific photographic images representative of at least one of the mission site or the mission scenario. 
     
     
         17 . The structure according to  claim 13 , wherein the one or more substrates comprise polyvinyl chloride film. 
     
     
         18 . The structure according to  claim 13 , wherein the at least one base structure comprises a modular structure. 
     
     
         19 . The structure according to  claim 18 , wherein the simulated structure comprises multiple modular structures arranged together to form the simulated structure, the one or more substrates with one or more photographic images printed thereon applied to the surface of each modular structure being aligned with the one or more substrates on the surfaces of the other modular structures to create a visual appearance of the modular structures as the singular simulated structure. 
     
     
         20 . The system according to  claim 13 , wherein each of the one or more photographic images are taken at an appropriate angle and are representative of an actual structure expected within at least one of the mission site or the mission scenario for military, law enforcement or other first responder personnel to create the simulated structure that has realistic visual characteristics representative of the expected actual structure and the mission site or mission scenario.
