BAE Systems has unveiled an advanced digital analysis and prototyping testbed known as ADAPT.
Unveiled at the annual I/ITSEC simulation and training exhibition in Orlando, Florida, which ran for five days from 27 November 2023, ADAPT is an integrated virtual environment designed to provide comprehensive analysis across multiple warfighting domains, improving the ability of decision makers to predict, adapt, and win in contested, evolving environments.
The ADAPT testbed models and simulates complex scenarios, encompassing platforms, sensors, networks, data, and processing algorithms in real time: a capability that is not achievable with high-level simulators or operations analysis tools.
“ADAPT provides the unique ability to simulate tactical-level data to understand how advanced algorithms and software perform within a digital environment to enable decision advantage within battle networks,” Matt Crozier, director of advanced technology prototyping at BAE Systems Intelligence & Security, was quoted as saying in a company press release. “Its open-system architecture allows rapid integration of additional simulators and digital models in real time within live, virtual, and constructive environments.”
“The virtual environment’s high-fidelity platform can simulate real-world combined joint all-domain command-and-control (C-JADC2) scenarios,” BAE Systems stated. “In addition to mission and information analysis, ADAPT provides system-of-systems analysis through the integration of model-based system engineering in which it can assess, trade and optimise architecture and requirements in a digital environment.”
