BAE Systems has announced a two-year collaboration with XR specialist PAULEY, integrating AI and XR technology for next-gen military training.
Both companies will collaborate, using PAULEY’s immersive technology to equip military clients with the skills they need to maintain and operate unmanned drones, fast jets, as well as to prepare for live operations.
The agreement forms part of BAE System’s next generation training capability, Project OdySSEy, a synthetic environment that allows future forces to plug in to a virtual world and train collectively using real world mission software and tactics. Additionally, PAULEY brings its experience in XR technology to bring complex battlespaces to life in virtual environments.
Philip Pauley, founder and CEO, PAULEY, commented: “We are proud to be working alongside BAE Systems to help ensure the military forces of the future are ready for their mission in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world.
“Future military strategies like the UK’s Strategic Defence Review place technologies such as AI and XR at their heart of their future requirements. The expertise of companies like PAULEY combined with the wealth of knowledge and experience of BAE Systems can harness the potential of these exciting technologies.”
