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
Built to Scale: Supports large numbers of entities operating across vast environments
WHAT WE DO
Enhanced Training Simulations, Trusted by Primes
Built on deep expertise in navigation and behaviour systems for large-scale virtual worlds, our middleware product, Kythera, gives the entities in your simulation the ability to navigate, adapt, and behave intelligently, resulting in training environments that feel genuinely real, can be developed faster, and cost less.
01
Performance at Scale
Built to support vast environments populated with thousands of 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 requires no third-party tools or services to operate, 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 ➝
Behavioural realism is a recognised limitation of existing simulation training environments. Our tools allow entities to respond to terrain changes, adapt to evolving conditions, and behave like credible counterparts meaning trainees encounter situations that mirror reality.
COST & SPEED ➝
Developing navigation and behaviour systems from scratch is expensive and time-consuming. Our tools provide proven, ready-to-integrate middleware that reduces development time, integration risk, and overheads.
SCALE & READINESS ➝
As training scenarios grow in complexity, the underlying technology must keep up. Our tools are architected to handle diverse vehicle and unit types across hundreds of kilometres with high entity counts, without compromising performance or fidelity.
