Services

Simulation software for air, land and uncrewed platforms.

We build the software that runs inside training simulators, from a single part-task trainer to the visual system for a full cockpit.

AIR

Flight simulation

Fixed-wing and rotary-wing simulation for cockpit trainers, with flight models, avionics displays and out-the-window visuals.

  • fixed-wing
  • rotary-wing
  • HUD & MFD
LAND

Vehicle simulation

Driver and crew trainers for armoured and logistics vehicles, with terrain-accurate handling across road, cross-country and urban ground.

  • driver training
  • gunnery
  • convoy
UAS

Drone simulation

Operator and payload training for uncrewed aircraft, from small quadcopters to long-endurance platforms.

  • ground control
  • payload operator
  • swarm
ENV

Synthetic environments

Geo-specific terrain, weather, time of day and sensor views built in Unreal Engine for realistic mission rehearsal.

  • geo-specific terrain
  • EO/IR
  • night vision
INT

Integration

Connecting simulations to cockpit hardware, motion platforms, instructor stations and other simulators on the network.

  • DIS
  • HLA
  • motion cueing
UE5

Unreal Engine development

Bespoke Unreal Engine 5.8 development, tools and pipelines, and support for simulation teams who need extra specialist capacity.

  • C++
  • C#
  • Python
  • Java
How we work

From training requirement to fielded simulator.

  1. Requirement

    We work through the training need, platform data and hardware with your team.

  2. Prototype

    An early playable build in Unreal Engine lets instructors and users give feedback quickly.

  3. Build & integrate

    We develop the full simulation and integrate it with cockpits, controls and networked systems.

  4. Support

    We test against acceptance criteria, deliver documentation and support the system in service.

About

A simulation company built for defence.

LaserDirect was founded on 11 January 2022 to meet the needs of the defence sector. We develop software simulations for military flight simulators, vehicles and drones using Unreal Engine 5.8, writing software in C++, C#, Python and Java.

We work with defence primes, training providers and armed forces customers, either delivering complete simulation software or working inside an existing programme team.
