Bohemia Interactive Simulations (a.k.a BISim, known in the past as "Bohemia Interactive Australia" or BIA) was formed in 2001 as an initiative of both (of the band Seventh, whose music features in the soundtrack for Operation Flashpoint) and Bohemia Interactive; it is the company behind the Virtual Battlespace (VBS) series, a professional training simulation aimed at armies and military entities.


Bohemia Interactive Simulations was sold to Riverside in 2013[1].

While they shared the "Bohemia Interactive" part in their name and VBS 1 and 2 respectively partly used Operation Flashpoint's and Armed Assault's engine,
Bohemia Interactive and BISim became two completely separate companies that did not share any more technologies past this point.


Bohemia Interactive Simulations was bought by BAE in 2022[2] and was renamed OneArc[3] when merged with Pitch.
