Simulation Firm Partners On AI Mapping Technology

ST Engineering Antycip (Antycip) is expanding access to AI-driven geospatial data solutions through its collaboration with LuxCarta, enabling French defence organisations to rapidly generate high-resolution geospatial data for situational assessment and operational planning.

Through this collaboration, Antycip will provide local access and licensing for LuxCarta's geospatial data solutions, drawing on its presence in France and experience delivering military simulation solutions to defence organisations. Antycip and LuxCarta will also explore opportunities in Italy and Spain to support defence organisations in adopting AI-driven geospatial data workflows.

LuxCarta specialises in producing high-resolution 2D and 3D terrain and urban data for government, defence, telecommunications and simulation applications. Its portfolio includes the BrightEarth On-Premises solution, which uses artificial intelligence to automate the extraction of geographic objects, reducing the time required to produce usable geospatial data.

Gary Camps, LuxCarta's Head of Defense business unit, said, "The technology is already being used by defence geospatial organisations to accelerate the production of mapping products required for rapid situation assessment, including for civil-military support and crisis response scenarios."

"Access to accurate terrain and object data is critical for both operational decision-making and simulation," said Quentin Blancheri, Major Account Manager at Antycip. "By enabling faster and more cost-effective generation of geospatial data through LuxCarta's AI-based tools, we help customers scale up and respond more quickly to emerging security situations while developing high-quality datasets for future modelling and simulation applications."

Antycip and LuxCarta also see potential to expand the use of AI-generated terrain and object data into distributed simulation, digital twin and immersive training environments.
