To that end, I wanted to share a few ways we’re making life easy for our customers today: 

• The MAK FOM Editor: We built this to help you easily develop or extend your HLA FOMs. It’s free, it’s flexible, and we made it to help make FOM editing effortless. You can load an existing FOM to visualize, extend, or modify it, or if you want to create a new module based on an existing FOM, you can use this tool to start from the RPR FOM or the NETN FOM. You can learn more about this on our Bonus Downloads page (you must be logged in to the MAK website to access this).
• Free MAK RTI for Two Federates: If you’re running a small setup (two federates), you can use the MAK RTI for free. This unlicensed version is intended to lower the barrier to entry and get you started with development and testing in your office or lab. You can also get this through our Bonus Downloads page.
• Built-in WAN Support: If you need to run your simulations across a wide area network, we help with that right out of the box. The MAK RTI includes everything you need with no extra plugins, no surprise costs - WAN support is baked in. We want you to be able to connect your systems wherever they are, without having to rethink your architecture.

When you do need to think more deeply about your interoperability infrastructure, we’re here for you. We’ve been part of the interoperability community from the beginning, and we continue to actively contribute to its future. I’m proud of the role the MAK team plays within SISO and for our leadership in interoperability and FOM development, from the RPR FOM 3.0, to  MSG 223, to NATO’s NETN efforts. 

Simulation interoperability should just work. And yes, MAK will keep building a world where it does.
