"Objektiv" is the name of Bohemia Interactive's proprietary 3D modelling application. This tool was developed to give to an artist maximum freedom and full control over the modelling process. Objektiv is linked closely to the engine powering VBS1™ and all changes are displayed in real-time in a rendering window. Objektiv supports creation of full animations. Objektiv models can be converted to or from 3D Studio Max.

"Visitor" allows VBS1 terrain areas to be created. The application supports import of real world terrain data (DEM). Roads, vegetation, buildings and other terrain features can be easily and quickly placed over an imported terrain area.

Visitor is currently being updated to allow import of VMAP shape data that will greatly speed up the process of creating new terrain areas in VBS1.

MARS - Mission Analysis and Review System - is a completely external AAR playback application for VBS1. It has been designed for AAR take-home packages - it does not require VBS1 to be installed in order to run. VBS1 AAR files are loaded by the application, which can display entity movement and interactions in either 2D or 3D viewing modes. A wide range of statistics are displayed as well as various interface features such as unit sight cones and movement trails. Demonstration version available!

VBSOS (VBS Operating System) is a new administrative tool developed to assist in the management of networked VBS1 sessions. It provides security (restricting access to the wider file system of a host PC), a natural GUI (simple and intuitive), automation (assisting with software upgrades and record keeping), individualisation (participants are able to maintain their own profile) and roaming (profiles follow users as they move from machine to machine). VBSOS can also be linked to online questionnaires for data collection.

VBSOS is fully compatible with other software applications (any Windows-based application can be loaded through the interface). VBSOS is currently used by the Virtual Environments and Simulation Lab to assist with VBS1 experimentation.
