US Army expected attrition of drones in training
Potential benefit of training on FPV mission outcomes
Impact of pilot quality on the outcome of a mission.
Uplift of performance between autonomy and manual.
Over the past nine years, 4GD has conceived, developed, and executed a vision to modernise military and law enforcement training infrastructure. While our focus has ostensibly been on the urban environment, we have simultaneously, as a business, created spaces with exceptional power and data capacity that generate unrivalled, real-time data. This foundation enables the creation of a true, real-time synthetic twin, allowing any exercise, trial, or test to incorporate on-location synthetic UAS simulation.
By designing infrastructure with synthetics in mind connecting the physical and virtual, through 4GD’s proprietary IR loop, becomes seamless. ACIES reacts to changing scenarios and instantly transforms into any virtual operational environment.
The quality of data from Ecfect_OS enables unrivalled real-time virtual twinning. With everything from weapon handling to eye movement captured, the simulated UAS feeds are immersive and fully representative of real-world performance.
The capability of the ACIES system allows environments to switch rapidly, within the same floorplan or scenario, transforming an exercise from UAS feeds of an Eastern European trench system to a USV maritime interdiction UI in seconds.
Industries like Formula 1 develop virtually before building in the real world. Defence should adopt the same synthetic approach to accelerate development and testing. ACIES is built to enable synthetic Capability Development.
With significant expertise in collective training, 4GD understands how to deliver, or integrate into immersive, large-scale exercises that enhance asset density and training realism without adding legislative complexity.
Since our formation in 2016, 4GD has been developing advanced synthetic UAS in Unreal. Our technology has been successfully demonstrated in live exercises, notably during the Army Warfighting Experiment in 2022.
Such is our commitment to the drone agenda that 4GD is a proud sponsor of the British Army Drone Sports Association, an organisation equally dedicated to training FPV pilots. unrivalled scenario adaptability.
