Enabling Augmented Reality for your airborne missions
Real-time Augmented Reality engine with Artificial Intelligence support for airborne payload operators
The OPENSIGHT EO Sensor Simulator is a modular simulation platform designed to support the integration, validation, and testing of electro-optical payloads and mission systems before deployment.
Unlike traditional pilot or operator training simulators, OPENSIGHT is engineered for functional verification and system integration, enabling payload manufacturers, system integrators, and software developers to validate:
- sensor interfaces
- communication protocols
- metadata generation
- video distribution chains
- mission workflows
within a fully repeatable operational environment.
By replacing a significant portion of hardware integration activities and flight-test campaigns with realistic simulated scenarios, OPENSIGHT reduces technical risk, accelerates development cycles, and supports faster system qualification.
