The AEgis Technologies Group is now the largest provider of 3D visualization and embedded training devices for unmanned systems. More than 2,700 licenses have been purchased for Vampire (Visualization and Mission Planning Integrated Rehearsal Environment) embedded training software for Raven, Wasp and Puma AE small unmanned aircraft. AEgis is delivering licenses to the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy Special Warfare elements and U.S. Marine Corps.
“All of us at AEgis Technologies are extremely excited about the success of the Vampire training product,” said AEgis President & CEO Steve Hill. “We are continually receiving exceptionally positive feedback directly from the warfighters about the effectiveness of this tool for familiarization, training, and mission rehearsal. It is very gratifying for our team to ‘Make a Difference’ as that is our primary corporate mission.”
“The realism achieved by using sub-meter high resolution imagery, digital terrain elevation data, geospecific cultural features, and combat driven scenarios for this embedded training system is clearly what the soldiers needed and wanted,” said David King, AEgis Vice President for Simulation Development. “Working closely with Aerovironment, Army and SOF trainers, and taking direction from US Army UAS Product and Capability Managers to derive the realistic training environment was paramount throughout the development process.”
Through collaboration with AeroVironment, Inc. AEgis has developed and delivered the Vampire simulation software as an embedded training capability that is hosted on the currently fielded UAS operator’s equipment, requiring no additional hardware. Vampire software provides a 3D virtual environment that allows operators to train and rehearse operator and mission-level tasks for each system.
Closely integrated and correlated with the FalconView flight planning software currently used by UAS operators, Vampire creates the virtual environment for training operator tasks such as route and mission planning as well as in-flight tasks such as target tracking and reaction to emergency procedures. Vampire also provides tactical training scenarios on geospecific terrain databases built from satellite source imagery to produce visual quality that matches that of the actual systems, permitting operators to conduct mission rehearsals in remote areas of operation prior to deployment.

Manufacturers ‘build in’ embedded software in the electronics in cars, telephones, modems, robots, appliances, toys, security systems, pacemakers, televisions and set-top boxes, and digital watches, for example.[2] This software can be very simple, such as lighting controls running on an 8-bit microprocessor and a few kilobytes of memory, or can become very sophisticated in applications such as airplanes, missiles, and process control systems..;
