VR and AR/MR

CogSim Technologies uses the latest Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality / Mixed Reality (AR/MR) hardware and software technologies to create cost-effective, high-impact immersive solutions for a variety of individual and group visualization and training requirements. This technology offers unprecedented application possibilities ranging from collaborative manipulation of complex data sets to site familiarization and much more.

Human Factors Engineering

With 25+ years of experience, the human factors and experimentation team provides capability in human factors, cognitive engineering and human performance assessment. We have extensive experience in assessing situational awareness, workload, and task-relevant performance of operators and crew across a variety of domains. Our human factors and simulation teams work closely to provide analyses, rapid-prototyping, design, and implementation services. 

Focused Fidelity

CogSim Technologies Inc. (CTI) embodies the concept of “Focused Fidelity” by providing a targeted level of simulation fidelity to address the needs of our customers. The realization of “Focused Fidelity” extends beyond technology to include an in depth understanding of human factors, operational needs and regulatory demands. This approach allows us to deliver cost effective training & simulation systems that are tightly matched to user requirements.

CogSim Technologies employs a team of engineers, scientists and technologists with specialized expertise that enables the low-risk delivery of training & simulation systems.

TDL Simulation Suite

Our Tactical Data Link (TDL) Simulation Suite provides C++ libraries and supporting tools to add TDL interoperability to your simulation environment.  The TDL Simulation Suite includes:

The TDL Message Library which provides the functionality required to create, populate, encode and decode TDL messages for Link 16 (J series) and Variable Message Format (VMF) (K Series) messages, with support for SISO-J, SIMPLE and JREAP-C payloads.

The TDL Mission Support Library that provides generic implementations of systems necessary to manage TDL information in a mission-oriented context.  This includes subsystems such as track correlation, track management, mission management, a simulated mission computer and simulated TDL terminal.

Analysis & Test Tools
 – TDL Net Explorer (Receive, inspect and generate TDL messages)
 – TDL COP (2-D TDL COP Visualization)
 – TDL Test Platform (Generate dynamic TDL traffic)
 – TDL Gateway (Bridge SISO-J, SIMPLE & JREAP-C TDL networks)
