Battlespace Simulations

Battlespace Simulations (BSI) is a software company that makes combat simulation and analysis tools for militaries and defence companies around the world.

BSI specialises in multidomain combat simulation and analysis in near-peer threat environments. It aims to simulate the whole battlespace, seen and unseen, so users can prepare better for real operations. The company has nearly two decades of experience in modelling, simulation and analysis. More than 2,000 licences of its software are in use worldwide for training, analysis, design and operational planning.

Its main product is MACE. This is full-spectrum battlespace simulation software for building and running scenarios across many domains. It models the electromagnetic spectrum down to pulse level. BSI says MACE is the computer generated forces engine behind many major combat and weapon system trainers. ARMOR is a worldwide-scale 3D image generator built on Unity. Users can view a simulation from first-person control to table-top planning, on screens, multichannel systems, and virtual or mixed reality. Merlin, Viper and DIScord complete the range, with Viper covering radio and communications simulation.

BSI lists several use cases. Computer generated forces supply opponents and friendly units for trainers. Mission preparation, analysis and rehearsal lets crews refine and test plans before flying them. Joint fires training combines MACE, ARMOR and the DSC tool and is said to meet accredited international standards. Design analysis lets users test new capabilities and tactics in simulation before going live, with easy changes to settings and models. Unmanned air systems work covers offensive and defensive UAS missions in contested electromagnetic battlespaces.

Users can write their own content. BSI uses open standards for GIS data and many military standards out of the box. Customers are militaries and companies that need to copy near-peer opponents in detail. The company also supports electronic warfare training and wargaming.

BSI offers demos and software evaluations on request. It shares training videos on YouTube, along with learning resources, plugins and technical bulletins. Its support team answers questions by email, and the team attends trade shows for in-person demos.
