Artificial intelligence (AI) spatial computing company Hadean announced on 30 November 2023 that it is teaming with technology solutions provider DXC Technology “to disrupt and advance the development of new capabilities for next-generation training and simulation”.
The team-up, announced at the I/ITSEC 2023 training and simulation exhibition in Orlando, Florida, will “address the ‘technical debt’ in defence and transform current systems by exploiting Hadean’s leading-edge technologies to deliver mission-critical solutions for training, data exploitation and planning” Hadean stated in a press release.
The collaboration will enable DXC Technology, which has over 45 years of expertise in the UK aerospace and defence sector, to leverage Hadean’s Platform and power immersive and interoperable large-scale synthetic environments, designed for the holistic planning, rehearsal, execution and review of training and mission operations.
The convergence of DXC Technology and Hadean will also focus on harnessing cloud-native technology and AI integrations to orchestrate disparate simulation systems in order to maximise data exploitation across military training and elevate the credibility and impact of analytics, real-time insights and data-driven decision-making.
Hadean CEO Craig Beddis was quoted as saying, “Teaming up with DXC Technology is an important milestone for Hadean as we continue to grow globally. Combining our spatial and AI capabilities with DXC’s technological expertise will ensure that our serving personnel will have reliable and proven solutions available to them for faster, smarter and better training, mission rehearsal and data analysis.”
Paul O’Shaughnessy, DXC Technology’s account executive for the UK Ministry of Defence, added, “DXC Technology is delighted to be working closely with Hadean to bring cutting-edge spatial and AI technology to Defence. This collaboration is a clear demonstration of DXC’s intent to work closely with the very best SMEs to integrate next-generation capabilities and accelerate adoption of innovative technological solutions to the benefit of UK Defence.”
Hadean’s teaming agreement with DXC Technology was the company’s third such collaboration announcement within a week. On 28 November the company announced it had signed a memorandum of understanding with Stockholm-headquartered training readiness and organisational resilience solutions provider 4C Strategies, while on 27 November it announced a teaming with London-headquartered AI solutions provider Faculty AI.
