VISE

Virtual Integration &
Simulation Environment

Reduce Time and Risk with High-Fidelity Virtual Simulations to Train and Test Autonomous Solutions

ARA’s Virtual Integration and Simulation Environment (VISE) is an innovative tool developed for virtually stress testing autonomous systems in a wide range of environments. VISE was developed using advanced physics modeling and a modern graphics engine, which allows for robust customizability, new developments, and support for a wide range of vehicles and environments.

VISE can help inform development and design decisions to save critical time and resources before moving to field-testing. VISE is also fully integrated with ARA’s MPMS, allowing users to  conduct full mission rehearsal and orchestration in a safe, digital environment, dramatically improving mission success rates and operational efficiency in real-world environments.

VISE at a Glance

Provides Customizable and Expandable Autonomous Systems Stress Testing

Fully Integrated with ROS and JAUS Communication Paths

Supports a Broad Range of Sensors and any Vehicle and Environment Type

Digital Vehicle Replication

VISE delivers sophisticated physics modeling to accurately replicate vehicle behavior by simulating vehicle-specific hardware. 

Configurable Landscapes

Contains digital recreations (digital twins) of real-world locations as well as configurable representative environments. 

Expandable & Customizable

VISE is built on the Epic Games Unreal Engine, which allows for rapid development of new features and can be extended to work with any Unreal Engine based plugin.

Full Sensor Suite

Supports a broad range of sensors such as LiDAR, GPS and IMU which can be customized within VISE to fit your requirements.

Access to a Wide Range of Data Driven Vehicle Models

Digital Recreations of Real-World Environments and Customizable Virtual Environments

VISE provides access to a wide range of highly accurate vehicle and sensor models, and customizable environments and terrains. 

Our vehicle models are informed by data collected from real-world vehicle tests. Users also have access to digital recreations of real-world locations and environments as well as customizable virtual environments.

Automated Early System Vulnerability Discovery

Ranked Vulnerability Heatmap

Included with COLE are a suite of accredited analysis tools to evaluate network and component cyber vulnerabilities.

COLE provides the user the ability to examine which nodes are accessible and vulnerable from the current node. A vulnerability heatmap tool then ranks vulnerabilities based on various metrics. Also included COLE’s capabilities are nightly updates from the National Vulnerability Database that enable automated, early discovery of system vulnerabilities. 

Attack Sequence Modeling

Effects-Based Modeling

COLE’s mission planning capabilities includes tools to optimize cyber network attacks and infer the aggregate effect or probability of success.

Functional based analysis provides insight into tangible mission impacts with the ability to simulate both individual and chained attacks.
