Experience the Bold Flavors of MAK ONE at I/ITSEC 2025

The last What’s Up MAK newsletter of 2025 is all about I/ITSEC. And we’re serving up something special this year: a full-course demo experience across two booths, #1221 and #1123. From tactical naval/air ops to AI for constructive simulation to our FPV Drone Simulator, the MAK ONE Menu has something for every simulation appetite. And you can't miss the MAK User Group on Tuesday, December 2 -- details below! Grab your (virtual) fork and dig in. Bon apetit!


MAIN COURSES: MAK ONE Integrated Demonstrations

These are the hearty entrées of our I/ITSEC experience: flavor-packed demonstrations that showcase the power of MAK ONE in action. Find these at MAK booth #1221. Schedule a visit to see our MAK ONE Integrated Demos!

  • MAK ONE Air and Naval Ops: Experience how MAK ONE can seamlessly support multi-domain operations experienced from the perspective of major maritime offensive in support of ground operations. For everything from subsurface to space, see how VR-Forces can replicate full kill chain operations utilizing space, cyber, rotary wing, fixed wing, drone swarms, and CCA assets in single, all-inclusive scenario.
  • MAK ONE Tactical Data Link: More than just Link16, CogSim’s suite of TDL products now allows VR-Forces integration into both live and synthetic Link 16, ATAK, AIS, ASR, and Networked Enables Weapons (NEW) capabilities. This allows a more robust C2 picture for both air and ground C2 systems and provides a gateway into full LVC training operations. 
  • MAK ONE Ground Ops: Execute close-combat multi-crew ground vehicle and infantry operations—including new drone capabilities—in dense, procedurally generated forests. This Collective Training exercise highlights VR-Forces as a CGF and IOS and VR-Engage’s extensive capabilities as a multi-role virtual simulator, while also demonstrating the flexibility to seamlessly integrate with a third-party motion platform.

CHEF'S SPECIALS: Solutions Built on MAK ONE 

Enjoy our innovative training dishes crafted with premium MAK ONE ingredients. Find these at MAK booth #1123. Schedule a visit to experience end-user training solutions built on MAK ONE!

  • NICO AI for Constructive Simulation: Explore how MAK uses AI to make constructive simulations smarter and easier to use. Our NICO AI demo shows how VR-Forces scenarios and plans can be AI-generated directly from text inputs or natural language. AI-powered agents inside the MAK ONE environment can interact naturally with human trainees, replacing live role players with voice-driven intelligent crewmates.
  • Immersive Drone Training with MAK's FPV Drone Simulator: Take control of MAK’s First Person View (FPV) Drone Simulator and see how it delivers realistic unmanned system training. Rehearse missions over detailed global terrain, practice surveillance, maneuvering, and targeting, and build skills without risking equipment or personnel. MAK’s FPV Drone Simulator integrates real FPV headsets and physical drone controllers with a virtual quadcopter simulated by VR-Engage—fooling the hardware into thinking it’s communicating with a real drone.
  • AGIL® C-UAS Simulation System by ST Engineering: The AI-enabled AGIL® Counter Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS) Simulation System by ST Engineering Training & Simulation offers an advanced, integrated training solution designed to prepare teams for real-world challenges. The AI-assisted simulation provides realistic training in decision-making, tactical employment and rules of engagement in both known and uncertain threat scenarios. The system seamlessly integrates all critical elements of C-UAS operations, providing a holistic and immersive training experience. From tactical decision-making and drone pilotage to detection, targeting, and neutralization, we build crucial skills and enhance operational readiness across the entire spectrum of C-UAS engagement. The system is powered by MAK ONE, including VR-Forces, VR-Link, RTI and VR Vantage.
  • VR-Forces for Wargaming with MARS After Action Review: Investigate the unique ORBATs (Orders of Battle) and alternative doctrines of two countries in a simulated wargame of an invasion in this aggregate-level scenario. The choice of doctrine directly impacts the outcome, offering insights into strategic planning and decision-making. Use VR-Forces’ ORBAT editor and Sync Matrix to establish precise wargaming conditions and simulate engaging scenarios.  Enhance decision-making and improve performance with ST Engineering’s Mission Analytics and Review System (MARS), designed to provide comprehensive after-action reviews with session recordings for briefing/debriefing and real-time video analytics for training and operations.
  • Scalable Simulation & Analytics with Cervus’ Forge: See how Cervus’ Forge platform and MAK’s VR-Forces accelerate experimentation and decision-making. Play out complex VR-Forces scenarios faster than real time while Forge’s Hive analytics engine pulls data from the simulation to deliver instant insights. Developed for the British Army, this demo shows how to scale scenarios, improve robustness, assess outcomes on the fly and at scale, and quickly move from scenario to analysis.
  • Forward Observer Training with MAK FIRES: MAK FIRES is a focused training application built on the MAK ONE platform. MAK FIRES enables instructors to train soldiers to identify targets, adjust fire, then fire for effect. Trainees can communicate with instructors, or practice on their own by speaking to our simulated FDC. No soldiers stand idly by - every student in a MAK FIRES classroom can call the mission using their tablet. It’s portable and efficient training for all soldiers.

À LA CARTE: MAK ONE Core Ingredients

Our expert engineers are ready to serve up MAK ONE’s core ingredients—VR-Forces, VR-Vantage, VR-Engage, VR-TheWorld, VR-Link, MAK RTI, VR-Exchange, and MAK Data Logger—and show you how to customize, combine, and extend them to meet your simulation goals. Stop by anytime during I/ITSEC or schedule a meeting to learn all about the MAK ONE ingredients at MAK booth #1221. 

New ingredient on the menu: Try a fresh bite of RFView for MAK ONE, a new product developed in partnership with ISL. You can get a taste at both MAK booth #1221 and at ISL booth #433. Catch ISL’s paper presentation that dives deep into the technology behind RFView for MAK ONE on Wednesday, December 3 at 1430 in room 320B.

Chef's Table: MAK User Group at I/ITSEC 2025

Tuesday, Dec 2  |  8:30-11:30 AM |  Rosen Centre Hotel, Salon 3/4

You're invited to pull up a seat at the Chef’s Table to hear how MAK users around the world are cooking up success with MAK ONE. From training innovations to simulation breakthroughs, the MAK User Group will serve up real-world applications and fresh perspectives. No registration needed. We hope to see you there!

Topics include:

  • Building Common Simulation Software for the Australian Army with MAK ONE
