I'll freely admit I am a newbie when it comes to JSAF, we recently received a copy and I had the task of attempting to install it under Fedora 16. I assure you it can be done successfully, and to save you a little head scratching here's a few simple steps:
1. Install OpenMotif via the RPM package suitable for your distro (ignore the fact it says fc12, it works!): i686 x86_64
2. At a terminal prompt, sudo yum install xorg-x11-fonts*
The second step will install a number of fonts JSAF depends on, plus a handful it doesn't. You could comb through the font packages and weed out a lot of fluff for a lean and mean VM appliance build, but for my purposes a blanket approach worked just fine. After you've followed these steps, follow the JSAF install instructions provided and you should be good to go.
Keep in mind this is by no means a definitive guide, it's just what I needed to do to get JSAF working for me.

VBS2 Amphib Video Pacific 2012
NB: This video may show features not currently available to any customer.
Text from BISim:
This scenario demonstrates the ability of simulation to provide a valuable training asset within the ARG and the Royal Australian Navy in conducting realistic mission rehearsals of operations in a federated environment. Training scenarios using VBS2 are conducted in other Allied Navies worldwide.
Naval training and its specialities, is of key focus for VBS2 2.0. In particular the new release, due to be delivered to the USMC in March 2012, provides excellent support for below waterline, scuba capability, replication of tides and sea states and radar support. An increased demand from BISim's customers has identified these capabilities, amongst others, to be delivered in support of Naval customers worldwide.
