Advanced Cloud-Based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Platform for Drone Simulation, Design & Analysis

SIMNET is an advanced cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that provides a range of integrated design, analysis and simulation capabilities for a wide variety of users and stakeholders within the UAS (unmanned aerial systems) industry.

The powerful software, developed by ComQuest, provides value to drone manufacturers, academic institutions, operators, and pilot training organizations alike. It is based on the proven Typhon Physics Engine, which utilizes multidisciplinary physics-based simulation and analysis algorithms to predict aircraft performance and simulate flight dynamics in real time.

SIMNET for Academic and Research Institutions

SIMNET is a comprehensive online platform designed to enhance UAS education and research activities at academic institutions. It serves as an invaluable educational tool in teaching UAS-related courses, effectively preparing students for careers in the rapidly evolving UAS industry. The SIMNET Simulator product offers simulated experience in operating UAS systems, eliminating the risks and costs associated with physical equipment. Meanwhile, the SIMNET Designer product allows students to learn basic to advanced topics in aerospace engineering and design methods.

The platform is user-friendly, offering a low learning curve and encouraging learning through experimentation. It supports versatile instructional methods, including traditional classroom settings, self-paced learning, remote learning accessible from personal computers, and virtual reality experiences. SIMNET collaborates closely with institutions to tailor exercises and projects to specific curricular needs.

SIMNET is also an invaluable asset for research and development, offering a realistic, safe environment for testing and experimenting with UAS technologies. This aids researchers in exploring new concepts, algorithms, and applications in UAS. The platform is ideal for studying UAV airframe performance across various models like multicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, and VTOLs, as well as for developing UAS flight control systems. Powered by the Typhon multidisciplinary physics engine, SIMNET delivers real-time results and predictions, facilitating rapid and innovative exploration of the design space.

SIMNET for UAS Training Providers

SIMNET stands as a premier solution for UAS training providers, offering a comprehensive and versatile platform designed to enhance the quality and efficiency of UAS training programs. The platform features high-fidelity, brand-specific flight simulation models and realistic 3D terrains, ensuring trainees receive a realistic and immersive learning experience. Its compatibility with actual flight control hardware and software used in real UAS operations ensures a seamless and authentic training environment. SIMNET’s robust capabilities extend to Virtual Reality simulations, extensive coverage of UAS operations including BVLOS and precision agriculture, and integration with third-party controls.

While the SIMNET Simulator product offers a free-flight simulator option, SIMNET Academy provides a more comprehensive training platform that integrates a Learning Management System (LMS) to deliver theoretical lessons, in conjunction with practical simulated lessons. Offering a blend of traditional classroom and remote learning options, SIMNET Academy accommodates both instructor-led and self-paced learning styles. Its comprehensive tracking and documentation capabilities ensure that training providers can maintain stringent compliance standards, making SIMNET Academy an invaluable asset for optimizing UAS training processes, expanding training capacity, and reducing costs.

SIMNET for UAS Service Providers

SIMNET is a vital tool for UAS service providers, streamlining pilot training and supporting day-to-day operations. It enables providers to standardize training on specific UAS platforms, flight control systems, operational workflows, and various flight environments. SIMNET’s continuous training modules help pilots maintain proficiency and stay current with evolving technologies and regulations.

Beyond training, SIMNET is instrumental in operational planning, especially for complex or high-risk missions requiring government approvals. It allows for detailed planning and rehearsal of specific missions, using precise simulations of the UAS and flight locations. This preparation is crucial for conducting challenging missions like Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights or operations with high-cost UAS systems.

SIMNET’s comprehensive simulation data aids in the Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) process. By aligning with SORA guidelines, it helps operators evaluate risks and implement mitigation measures, essential for obtaining regulatory approvals. This demonstrates a commitment to safety and regulatory compliance, making SIMNET an indispensable resource for UAS service providers.

SIMNET for UAS Manufacturers

SIMNET offers a solution for UAS manufacturers aiming to enhance their product offering and customer satisfaction. Our team of engineers collaborates with manufacturers to create accurate, brand-specific UAS simulators, delivering a comprehensive training experience that mirrors the actual UAS’s visual and performance characteristics. The inclusion of SIMNET simulators alongside physical UAS products significantly enriches the manufacturer’s value proposition, easing the adoption process for clients and boosting their proficiency and satisfaction with the UAS products.

With options for immersive Virtual Reality training, SIMNET caters to a range of learning preferences, enabling end-users to practice both manual and autonomous flight modes in a risk-free environment. Beyond free-flight simulations, SIMNET Academy provides the infrastructure for developing tailored, web-based training courses. These courses integrate theoretical knowledge with practical simulation exercises, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of the UAS operations.

The web-based nature of SIMNET ensures a hassle-free global distribution, granting end-users worldwide easy access to the simulator. Manufacturers benefit from SIMNET’s comprehensive service package, which includes the development, maintenance, distribution, and support of the simulator, requiring minimal effort from the manufacturer’s side.
