ST Engineering Antycip, a company of ST Engineering, has delivered a MAK ONE-based solution for an IABG project to enhance its mission de-brief training systems.
IABG is a Munich-based consultancy company specialising in public security, communications, medical engineering, and aviation projects. The military section of the company forms the largest part of its service portfolio, with over 1,500 employees supporting Bundeswehr, NATO and the European Union with analysis, simulation, testing and consulting. The company’s training software, known as MiDAS (Mission Display and Analysis System), records data on real or simulated flight paths and subsequently feeds this information back to a control station for review and analysis.
IABG required a software solution that would enable MiDAS to connect to a High Level Architecture (HLA) simulation federation, to subscribe to simulation data for recording and analysis, and to replay that data for post-flight review. VR-Link from MAK Technologies was selected to provide this capability because of its ease of integration into MiDAS and its full support for the HLA standard.
ST Engineering Antycip, a sister company to MAK Technologies, provided the support in evaluating and identifying the right MAK product for the bespoke training programme, whilst remaining within the budget allocation.
MiDAS is currently used in almost every Eurofighter Typhoon Simulator, indicating its ability to scale according to need/requirements.
“We don’t see any difference, whether we connect MAK software to a single system or to a large simulation network – the scale of these missions vary from a single Eurofighter up to hundreds of entities of all domains from subsurface to space,” says Markus Pley, responsible for system development and integration at IABG. “It simply works and that’s exactly what we need. The excellent support from Riccardo and his team at Antycip was a key factor for our decision to select the MAK products for our mission de-brief training programme.”
