Another Year. Another Step Forward.

Another Year. Another Step Forward.

Over the course of 2020, Presagis is proud to have achieved a great deal. From at-home licenses, to software releases, we have adapted to the world's new realities.

From social distancing and working at home, to lockdowns and shutdowns, our customers have faced these obstacles and adapted to the world’s new realities.

Like you, Presagis has also had to overcome challenges and quickly align our business structure to ensure our customers, partners, and employees can continue working and delivering.

Over the course of 2020, Presagis is proud to have achieved the following:

  • We supported customers under a current maintenance contract during COVID by providing free licenses for work at home.
  • We developed, tested and continued delivering the latest versions of HELI CRAFT and UAV CRAFT customizable simulator platforms.
  • Presagis’ maintenance and support team was continuously active and online without interruption since the start of the pandemic. Where permitted, we also provided on-site support.
  • For all M&S products, we never stopped releasing software updates and small feature enhancements through minor and major releases. Keep reading to learn more about the advances we have made across our entire product suite.
M&S Suite Updates Available

For Customers with Active Maintenance

The maturity of Presagis M&S products translates into more architectural adjustments and improvements than new features. In turn, this results in release cycles with frequent minor and major updates and fewer full suite releases.

For this reason, we also took the opportunity to shift the full M&S Suite release to the fall of 2021. We are also concentrating on a range of new technologies, products and solutions that will have immediate and substantial benefits to our customers.

Ondulus IR

New Ondulus Sensor Modules

With the most accurate and visually stunning suite of sensor products on the market, Presagis’ Ondulus suite of IR, LiDAR, NVG, and Radar emulation software has the flexibility to be used in any type of synthetic environment. With wide, international export capabilities, Ondulus products can easily be included in North American and international projects.

With the most accurate and visually stunning suite of sensor products on the market, Presagis’ Ondulus suite of IR, LiDAR, NVG, and Radar emulation software has the flexibility to be used in any type of synthetic environment. With wide, international export capabilities, Ondulus products can easily be included in North American and international projects.

Ondulus IR has added thermal reflections from other objects, and a Distributed Aperture System (DAS) that allows a single camera to generate a large field of view (i.e.: 360° around an aircraft). We have also added LLLTV (Low Light Level TV) functionality that supports the simulation of cameras under low-light conditions.

Ondulus NVG has been revamped in order to more precisely handle atmospheric conditions, reflection modeling, materialization, and light sources.

Ondulus Radar is receiving a new radar mode: Air to Ground Ranging (AGR). In addition, we have improved Searching and Tracking support, numerous display options, as well as the ability to fully customize the display.

Whether you are using a full or evaluation version of any of our Ondulus sensor emulation products, Presagis stands ready to support your project.

Honolulu airport made with Creator and Terra Vista

Content Creation

Creator has concentrated its improvements around the creation of airports. Our team has added detailed textures on CDB for better handling on airports, scripting support for runway wizard, and the ability to export OpenFlight to the gltF format.

Terra Vista has also undergone a series of improvements with regard to CDB, scripting, and UI improvements for build configurations.

Of course, both Creator and Terra Vista have seen many performance improvements and bug fixes.

HELI CRAFT

CRAFT Simulators

Our CRAFT simulators (UAV CRAFT and HELI CRAFT) have both seen a wide range of architecture and performance improvements that greatly facilitate the ability to mix UAS and helicopter/aircraft into the same environment/scenario.

HELI CRAFT now boasts a DirectX-powered cockpit and has new ownship models (UH60, CH47) along with their respective sound libraries and avionics. HELI CRAFT now also offers slung load, ownship recovery, and ship deck landing functionalities. Finally, we have added new VR components (compatible with all leading VR manufacturers).

UAV CRAFT features a new GCS station with improved joysticks and a new interface that includes sensor fusion and map overlays, as well as a robust map engine. UAV CRAFT has also added new UAV models for an air taxi (MALE Quad), a new MQ-9, as well as the CH-5 and Wing Loong I.

Dense urban environment made with VELOCITY

VELOCITY

An unparalleled, AI-powered, automated framework that changes the way simulation databases are built, VELOCITY can be used as your simulation content creation assembly pipeline to build accurate, high quality synthetic 3D environments that are both simulation- and sensor-ready.

VELOCITY can help you save time and money by not only repurposing outdated or existing databases, but also by enhancing or enlarging them with new data and information such as LiDAR point clouds, sensor and up-to-the-minute satellite imagery.


Later in 2021

VELOCITY: Building Generator Module

VELOCITY: Building Generator

Presagis is looking forward to soon releasing a new and fast way to create synthetic buildings. The Building Generator allows you to generate procedural buildings, apply a rules editor, and customize – all in real-time.

LLL Sensor

We have also added LLL sensor (Low Light Level) functionality. The physics-based simulation of sensors sensitive to wavelengths above the normal "visible" wavelengths measuring luminance level under low-light conditions will be supported.

VELOCITY: DaaS

Later in 2021, Presagis will be introducing an interactive portal for new and current customers to preview, query, and download up-to-date simulation-ready synthetic environments. Built using VELOCITY, these CDB databases can use high- or low-resolution imagery, be sensor-ready, and geo-specific.

Marine

We are also looking forward to soon releasing an entirely new Marine simulation module in Vega Prime. Complete with surf zones, littoral zones, and enhanced vessel behaviors; our new module goes below the surface by using bathymetry calculations to bring unmatched realism to marine environments.
