SIMULATION & TRAINING

STAM has strong expertise in modelling and simulation across strategic, tactical, and operational levels, delivering advanced multi-method, multi-agent and immersive simulations for security, defence, logistics, and transport.

Our constructive simulation models integrate complex human behaviours, sensors, effectors, and vehicles, enabling virtual operational assessments, crisis scenario analysis, digital twinning, and strategy optimisation. These simulations support critical applications such as counter-UAS systems in urban environments, mass event security, and military training exercises.

Our proprietary SHIELD simulation platform offers a multi-player serious gaming environment for collaborative immersive training and decision-making. It allows users to create, author, and deploy scenarios, simulating security threats in crowded spaces and large events with thousands of agents, as well as urban warfare and defence operations. SHIELD is fully interoperable with other simulators and tools, supporting several protocols like HLA, DIS, and ROS2 for seamless integration. Our expertise extends to dismounted soldier simulations and UxV teaming, enhancing coordination between human operators and autonomous systems.

We also develop XR applications and immersive HMIs, combining VR and wearable technologies to create realistic human-robot interactions.

Leveraging its expertise in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, STAM has developed an advanced VR-based training simulator for Canadarm2 operations.

Designed to replicate real-world mission scenarios, the simulator recreates the International Space Station (ISS) Cupola and surrounding space environment with a high level of realism, engaging operator training and enabling operators to safely develop and refine critical operational skills for operating the space robotic arm.

The simulator provides full control of operational instrumentation and key parameters, including cameras, joints, reference frames, and movement speed. Through advanced controller-free hand tracking, operators interact naturally with virtual interfaces and controls using their own hands, creating a more intuitive and realistic training experience.

The experience is enhanced through detailed sound design and gamification features that increase engagement and improve training effectiveness.

This VR-based operator training solution showcases STAM’s expertise in designing and delivering immersive training systems, leveraging VR technologies to support skill development in the aerospace sector and other advanced industries.
