Indra is integrating an AI-driven system into its simulators that enables the rapid creation of tactical training scenarios in minutes—a process that traditionally required days and extensive resources.
This innovative feature was showcased at the Paris Air Show, one of Europe’s largest aerospace exhibitions, and is currently being incorporated into new simulators, with plans to gradually update existing ones.
Simulators have long been a cornerstone in mission preparation, faithfully recreating terrain and the tactical behaviors of both friendly and adversary forces encountered on the battlefield.
Speed and flexibility in building these environments are vital to maximize mission prep time. However, the detail and volume of information involved have historically made this a lengthy, labor-intensive task requiring skilled personnel over weeks or months.
Leveraging advanced AI models like Large Language Models (LLM), Indra’s new tool dramatically cuts scenario creation time while enhancing realism, transforming military training and operational readiness.
Instructors simply specify the desired parameters—either verbally or in writing—such as a complex mission involving air and ground units in a particular area. The system then automatically constructs a complete synthetic environment, including platform types, positions, speeds, routes, and friend-or-foe status.
Training can begin within minutes, with instructors able to adjust scenarios in real time. The system learns from these edits, adapting to each instructor’s preferences and streamlining future scenario development.
This feature builds upon Indra’s existing AI applications that simulate platform behaviors during exercises.
Indra is pioneering new simulation paradigms like Live Virtual Constructive (LVC) and Modeling and Simulation as a Service (MSaaS), which promise to revolutionize the field.
The company also leads in defense intelligence with IndraMind, an AI system designed to automate critical operations and secure multi-domain superiority.
