Particular attention is paid to the computer visualizations, as one of the main multimedia means of expression that contribute to the more efficient, qualitatively and overall perception of the information.There are presented examples of 3D graphical models, created using a variety of specialized products for design of virtual environments. The goal is to be made a summary analysis of the most innovative methods and technologies used in the field of security and defense for performing information activities and visualization of multimedia information.
