Generate images of the detections to visualize the synthetic scene. With DME solutions, you can model radiometric detection and performance and within the context of your entire mission and all your available assets.

Geospatial Analysis

Put all your geospatial data to fast, practical use. The expanding demand for geospatial intelligence meets with rapidly expanding data sets. You can synthesize data, model complex systems, and analyze the results with DME solutions.

Missle Systems and Hypersonics

DME solutions offer you the ability to model the full system of systems in a realistic operational environment to make critical engineering and mission planning decisions. Import standard data models or design your missile models. Evaluate parabolic and hypersonic trajectories in physics-based, high-fidelity simulations. Extend your models from land to space.

Radar Systems

Design and model complex radar systems. Model radar systems with exquisite fidelity and apply them to the system of systems and the things you need them to detect. Evaluate it within the context of its mission.

Space Operations

DME solutions streamline processes and help mitigate risks throughout a system’s life cycle. From a single satellite to a large constellation, a simple orbit to a maneuvering trajectory, a primary signal relay to an EOIR sensor – when it comes to space, our software has a long history of helping you plan your future.

All-Domain Missions

Land, sea, air, space, cyber – dominance in one domain is no longer possible without systems that span them all. Simulate multidoman, multi-aspect systems to streamline development, dismantle silos, and accelerate delivery.

Space Situational Awareness

Automate routine, repetitive tasks that maintain your catalog of orbiting space objects in a state of readiness. Deveote your time and expertise to solving problems using the data, rahter than solving problems about the data.
