Professional
Harpoon 3 Pro was renamed in March 2010 to H3 MilSim
H3 MilSim is the professional version of Harpoon 3 Advanced Naval Warfare. It utilizes surface, sub surface, airborne and ground-based units based on open source data to allow for training, education and lightweight analysis. It is a simulation that (purportedly) accurately represents the capabilities and limitations of modern naval and air forces.
Among H3 MilSim's features are:
- Geographical Information Systems (GIS) Interface - This allows for simple geometric shapes to be imported from products such as ESRI's ArcInfo.
- Harpoon Track Interface (HTI) - All unit tracks can be exported to a standard database product and then to products such as STK's Satellite Tool Kit.
- "Hot Washup" or "VCR" feature - Provides the ability for entire games to be recorded, viewed, edited and replayed.
- Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) Interface - An international standard used for simulations to communicate with each other in real time.
- Monte Carlo simulation
- Source code can be licensed - Allows for security or validation purposes.
- Umpire functionality - Provides the ability for a training professional to oversee training activities.
- Users can input classified values - but are responsible for the security of such data.
- Boarding actions (as of v3.10)
- Dedicated site: http://www.h3milsim.com

Famous quotes containing the word professional:
“Three words that still have meaning, that I think we can apply to all professional writing, are discovery, originality, invention. The professional writer discovers some aspect of the world and invents out of the speech of his time some particularly apt and original way of putting it down on paper.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“The belief that there are final and immutable answers, and that the professional expert has them, is one that mothers and professionals tend to reinforce in each other. They both have a need to believe it. They both seem to agree, too, that if the professional’s prescription doesn’t work it is probably because of the mother’s inadequacy.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“The American character looks always as if it had just had a rather bad haircut, which gives it, in our eyes at any rate, a greater humanity than the European, which even among its beggars has an all too professional air.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
