Develop new autonomous control algorithms and see how they affect system behavior. Play out scenarios and develop tactics to defend against unmanned vehicles used as weapons. Train the use of control stations without actually deploying any real vehicles. Plan flight patterns to optimize surveillance coverage areas. Simulation is a well-established tool to improve outcomes in largescale systems development – now those technologies are scaled down for a perfect fit with the development of unmanned systems. MÄK tools can help you simulate, research, and test unmanned vehicles in any virtual environment – air, land, sea, and underwater. VR-Forces is our engine for flexible scenario generation that models many aspects of the virtual world, including humans, vehicles, terrain, weapons, and communications systems. VR-Vantage, MÄK’s image generator (IG), simulates daylight, electro-optical (EO), night vision, and infrared (IR) sensor feeds. Our new RadarFX SAR Server enhances our sensor package by providing Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images that see through atmosphere and vegetation. Use VR-Vantage and RadarFX to simulate video sensors, emulate ISR capabilities, or create powerful 2D and 3D visualization applications that incorporate mission information, real-time maps, sensors, and camera views. VR-Link and the MÄK RTI allow you to connect your UVS simulation across local or wide area networks so you can interoperate with other UVS simulations, manned simulations, computer generated vehicle simulations, and servers that simulate people. The MÄK Data Logger captures measures-of-performance and measures-of-effectiveness for analysis and design evaluation. The diversity of Unmanned Vehicle Systems (UVS) makes modeling and simulation critical in testing new ideas, advanced technologies, operational concepts, and system effects. MÄK products provide the robust M&S environment and scenariocreation capability required for UVS simulations.
