WHO ARE WE?

About Presagis

Integrated Workflow

An evolutionary approach

for a unified portfolio of M&S COTS tools

supporting multiple database formats

3D Modeling | Terrain Generation | Simulation | Visualization

Our integrated suite of M&S software tools:

> Reduces the time required to integrate tools across the workflow

> Provides the ability to use existing database standards or emerging standards for a single unifying database.

> Defines a unified workflow to help you minimize IT spending costs and maximize time savings.

> Supports the reuse of content and software modules across different programs

NADS Snapshot

Our mission is to help to create the future of networked

simulation with…

providing middlewares and platforms to migrate to the

SIMULATION CLOUD

We are leading M&S industry towards a future convergence in the cloud

REASONS FOR OUR TEAMING

• Our Vision: Future of M&S systems is on the network

Simulation for Individual training

Simulation for Team Training(DIS, HLA,...)

Simulation for Joint Training(LVC interop)

Simulation for CD&E(Compliance with Net-Centric systems)

Simulation in the Cloud

(Simulation as a Service)

Evolution of the S&T industry

Distributed Simulation is the most efficient way to improve operational readiness of our military and security forces.

• Our Vision: Future of M&S systems is on the network

But Reality is Complex:* Different Standards for interoperability* Too many COTS hard to interoperate between them* Different Data & Voice Communications* Legacy vs. COTS based Systems* Heterogeneus simulation ecosystems* Scaling-Up to Very Large Exercises

Defense Administrations have invested a lot in simulation systems for weapon systems but:* Poor use of existing simulation assets* Distributed Mission Training is very difficult* Interoperability is very limited* Tied hands with HLA COTS vendors

To solve these problems, NADS & Presagis are teaming to offer the first truly open simulation framework based on Open Standards

We are pursuing a COTS based agile development of simulation systems to any level of deployment

Based on standardsHLA, DIS, DDS, CIGI, CDB

When NADS met Presagis

Disrupting market for S&T COTS with:• Most advanced simulation applications

interoperating on Net-Centric Networks• Best of simulation features deployed as

services in the cloud

Virtual Vehicle Framework

• Consider the simulation components as services added together

• Lego concept• Reusability

• Build your simulation just by adding pieces

VVF : Towards a composable Virtual simulator

Plug & play architecture for a real-time simulator. Pure data-oriented design: From the data model to the simulation

models Architecture purely distributed without bottlenecks. Interoperability with networked simulators using HLA, DIS or

DDS. Interoperability at the component level (e.g. simulation of

weapons as an external service)

Data space

Summary

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts

Advantages we provide with our combined offering

Agile Development for systems and Federations of Systems.

Compatibility with current standards (HLA, DIS, DDS, CBD, CIGI) and future (LSA, CBML)

Improving interoperability with a full data-centric development

Use of simulation as services

Reusability of legacy systems,

Ability to expand the capacity of existing systems of training
