Intelligent, adaptive entities for next-generation simulations
Bringing new realism to synthetic training environments. We deliver dynamic navigation and adaptive behaviours for your virtual entities to operate in complex worlds, allowing for scalable, rapid, cost-effective development.
AT A GLANCE
Dynamic Navigation: Real-time obstacle avoidance and re-routing
Adaptive Behaviour: Entities that respond to evolving conditions
Performance at Scale: Vast environments with unlimited entities
WHAT WE DO
Enhanced Training Simulations, Trusted by Primes
Intelligent Artefacts is the result of a decade of experience developing navigation and behaviour systems for large-scale virtual worlds.
Our middleware product, Kythera, is a toolkit that gives your virtual entities the ability to navigate, adapt, and behave intelligently, resulting in training environments that feel genuinely real, build faster, and cost less to develop.
01
Performance at Scale
Built to support vast environments populated with unlimited entities. Units respond dynamically to environmental changes through real-time avoidance and re-routing. Vehicles demonstrate terrain-aware pathing and realistic movement. Entities adapt their behaviour in response to evolving events and conditions.
02
Navigation Across Massive Worlds
Kythera partitions large environments and only simulates the relevant sections, yielding significant memory and processing efficiencies. Its hierarchical pathfinding system enables units and armies to navigate hundreds of kilometres within fractions of a second, fully dynamically as terrain, structures, and conditions change.
03
Security & Sustainment
Shipped with full C++ source code, Kythera has no reliance on third-party services, critical for secure defence environments. With regular updates and integration support, it’s designed for long-term, cost-effective sustainment alongside your existing systems.
04
Extendable by Design
Kythera is built to be extended, not just configured. Our customers already use it to encode specialised data, such as wading depth for water-based terrain, and our AI Planning capabilities allow units to reason intelligently about their environment, reducing setup time and the technical burden on operators.
WHY IT MATTERS
High fidelity training environments, built quicker and smarter
Training simulations only deliver value when entities behave the way real-world units do: adapting, navigating, and responding under pressure. The more realistic the environment, the more effective the training. This is the problem that we solve.
REALISM ➝
Static, scripted entities break immersion and limit training value. Our tools gives entities genuine intelligence, responding to terrain changes, adapting to evolving conditions, and behaving like credible counterparts. Therefore trainees encounter situations that mirror reality.
COST & SPEED ➝
Developing navigation and behaviour systems from scratch is expensive, time-consuming, and a distraction from your core goals. Our tools provide proven, ready-to-integrate middleware, reducing development time and overheads.
SCALE & READINESS ➝
Modern training requirements span diverse vehicle and unit types, and rapidly changing scenarios. Our tools are architected for exactly this, handling unlimited entities across hundreds of square kilometres without compromising performance or fidelity.
