Headquartered in Oxfordshire, Antycip is providing an AI-powered virtual environment based on its VR-Forces simulation engine, forming the core of the new JCAST platform. The system is designed to enhance strategic and operational training across a range of combat scenarios.
The project combines MASS’s expertise in command and control systems, Hadean’s advanced artificial intelligence, and Antycip’s high-fidelity simulation technology. VR-Forces, a Computer Generated Forces (CGF) platform from MAK ONE, enables realistic, autonomous agents to support tactical to strategic-level training, experimentation, and mission rehearsal.
Integrating Hadean’s AI with VR-Forces allows military personnel to engage in adaptive, complex scenarios, delivering effective training and analysis beyond conventional limitations. “This project is a strong example of what happens when open-architecture simulation platforms like MAK ONE meet the power of AI,” said Colin Chester, Partner Solutions Architect at Antycip.
He added, “We’re proud to play a key role in enabling the UK MoD to evolve its training capabilities and prepare for the challenges of tomorrow.” Chester also noted, “This new training capability represents more than a technological upgrade; it’s a step-change in how defence organisations prepare for uncertainty, complexity, and joint-force operations.”
Antycip is increasingly recognised as a trusted simulation integrator for defence institutions across Europe. Its solutions are known for being modular, interoperable, and compliant with NATO standards, combining technical precision with operational insight.
