The agreement marks a significant milestone for the project, combining Hadean’s AI and synthetic capabilities with BAE Systems’ deep expertise in defence to enhance operational readiness for NATO and allied nations.

Project OdySSEy surpasses traditional synthetic training by providing users with a real-time synthetic environment directly reflecting real-world operations. The programme empowers near-limitless training scenarios across land, air, sea, space and cyber domains simultaneously, allowing for more realistic and accurate training planning and decision-making across all domains.

Hadean will be providing the cognitive layer, using its machine learning to develop real-time pattern-of-life simulations. Being able to anticipate, prepare for, and train against realistic human actions, and evolving threats, will give allied nations a competitive advantage in the facing or new and emerging threats.

Both BAE Systems and Hadean are exhibiting at I/ITSEC in Orlando, Florida between 2nd and 6th December. They are demonstrating the future of synthetic training at this year’s event, which is focusing on assuring deterrence through integrated training and readiness.

CEO Hadean, Craig Beddis said: “Our close relationship with BAE Systems highlights the role that tech startups are playing in the transformation of the defence industry. As we see the synthetic environment become the operating environment, having access to highly realistic, accurate representations and simulations of the live environment will prove paramount to our national defence and security.”

Head of Training at BAE Systems, Lucy Walton said: “We are working with Hadean to provide the most realistic synthetic environment which can support armed forces across the world to better train and prepare. Hadean is a vital partner to Project OdySSEy, the cognitive layer they are providing will ensure the platform will provide the next generation of synthetic training.”
