Modeling and simulation (M&S) application development has evolved rapidly in the last decade. The use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) tools has become increasingly commonplace because of shrinking budgets, accelerating rates of technology innovation, expanding requirements for M&S applications, and reductions in development time and effort constraints.
The use for COTS is also being mandated across many government and business programs because it can offer significant savings in procurement and ongoing maintenance. With tight budgets and time scales, and the difficulty in hiring engineering staff, adopting COTS software can help your company to alleviate pressure and improve productivity and efficiency.

With over 30 years of experience working with organizations from around the world, Presagis is the industry-leading provider of COTS modeling, simulation, and embedded display graphics software. The world’s largest aerospace companies, major government and defense agencies, integrators, and service providers all rely on Presagis and its unified portfolio of COTS products, including Creator, STAGE, Terra Vista, VAPS XT, Vega Prime, and AI.implant.
Presagis has developed a Partner Ecosystem together with other industry leaders to ensure that our customers receive the value they require in an overall solution. Our Partners tightly integrate their hardware or software solutions with core technologies from Presagis so that you can extend the capabilities of Presagis software through out-of-the-box integration as well as benefit seamlessly from support for key technologies.
Presagis customers include Boeing, General Dynamics, KMW, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Airbus, BAE Systems and Rockwell Collins.
The Presagis Aeria technology vision brings together our portfolio of COTS software into an open, scalable, and reusable platform for developing land, air, and sea applications. With Aeria, you can work in a unified environment to:
Aeria provides a more efficient way of developing modeling and simulation applications. With this vision in mind and based on support for industry standards, Presagis products are preintegrated and also support 3rd party applications out-of-the-box. As a result, your developers are productive from day one and your team spends less time integrating and more time creating valueadd content and delivering on application requirements.
All Presagis COTS software products are best-in-class and are industry-leading solutions in their respective categories. Depending on your needs, you can either purchase one Presagis product and benefit from its features and functionality or invest in the Aeria vision by purchasing multiple Presagis products and benefiting from out-of-the-box support.
To remain competitive, businesses and governments must invest in mature, proven solutions that go beyond basic functionality and can be extensively deployed across multiple projects and applications. The Presagis suite of integrated COTS software is easy to use and maintain and can include training, support, and services—all at a price point to suit your needs and budget. Presagis best-in-class software solutions drive down costs, speed up the delivery of mission critical applications, improve reuse, and mitigate development risks through state-of-the-art individual product features and functionality.
The Presagis technology vision is centered on standards, and our development efforts are focused on the interoperability and reusability of our software. At Presagis, we support industry database, networking, and communication standards, making the development of M&S applications easier and more efficient and ensuring that Presagis products can fit into any development pipeline. And, in addition to offering seamless integration with existing applications and 3rd party solutions, we have also developed our software to work with legacy and evolving technology.
Presagis COTS solutions allow you to re-direct your efforts to application specific development and content creation by reducing your involvement in feature development, software integration, and maintenance. You can also implement Presagis COTS tools to create a fully integrated workflow across your M&S development process. And, by leveraging standards, best practices, and emerging technologies, our products can help you to improve productivity and increase the speed of delivery of your M&S applications.
The key to lowering costs is reducing the time and resources spent on developing M&S applications by:
Presagis products have been thoroughly tested, follow a regular upgrade schedule, and have been successfully deployed in thousands of implementations around the world, making it very cost effective to sustain and maintain applications based on Presagis technology.In addition, Presagis software tools are seamlessly integrated across the product portfolio and also interoperate with other key 3rd party tools in your development cycle. As a result, implementation costs across the development workflow are reduced because you spend less time working on tool integration and interoperability and more time on application development.
The true value of COTS software is realized through improved ROI. When standards-based COTS software solutions from Presagis are part of your development pipeline, new applications can be delivered more quickly because development cycles do not need to be wasted on feature development, 3rd party integration, or product certification:
The flexible and intuitive interface and configuration of Presagis software greatly accelerates user adoption. This allows you to quickly leverage new functionality as part of the development workflow and to reuse Presagis COTS tools quickly and efficiently across projects.
Because time is of the essence in development cycles, Presagis COTS products help you save on development costs as well as deliver projects more quickly to market.
Presagis can also help you mitigate risk. Since adopting Presagis COTS software means fewer integration problems, your development team can focus on building applications instead of on creating complex custom code. And, because Presagis is the sole vendor, you receive complete support and effective troubleshooting from a single source.
