Ensuring mission safety through cutting-edge technologies that bridge the gap between pilots, command, and autonomous AI systems.
Aechelon Technology was founded in 1998 in Silicon Valley to create a new standard in Synthetic Reality. Today, we’re the leading provider of simulation solutions across every sector of government.
National Defence Strategy Pillar: Readiness & Lethality
Congress highlighting our impact as a National Defence Strategy Pillar in both Force Readiness and Lethality – a showcase of our technology prowess – was reflected in the past in following unclassified report.
Visualization Beyond Virtual Reality
High-Fidelity in the Highest Definition
High-Fidelity in the Highest Definition
Never settle for less than reality. Incorporating 8K imagery generated in real-time, at 240Hz, Aechelon harnesses the most state-of-the-art technology to harmonize real-world physics with multi-domain sensor perspectives. Our Synthetic Reality orchestrates leading artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions in harmony.
Real Experience in Real Time
Real Experience in Real Time
Be there without going there. Aechelon is designed for Visual Position Navigation with real-world accuracy, day and night and recreates terrain across both time and seasonality. Operate with predicted weather patterns and proper light reflections off stationary or moving assets on the ground or in the air at proper velocity.
Mission Success That’s a Guess
Mission Success That’s a Guess
With predictive 4D dynamic weather, physics accurate aero-turbulence scenarios, brownout simulations, mixed reality head mounted displays and more, defense and civilian agencies can ensure experts are trained in any scenario for mission achievement in every scenario.
