Simulation Software Upgrade Enhances Virtual Training Realism

MAK Technologies, part of ST Engineering North America, has launched MAK ONE 2025, the newest version of its simulation software suite. The update delivers enhancements in three primary areas: improved environmental fidelity, greater system connectivity and data analytics, and a more immersive user experience.

MAK ONE 2025 adds new features such as procedural generation for roads and bridges, tactical map support for offline use, and improved sensor integration. It also introduces real-time SQL access for data analysis, expanded APIs for integration, and upgraded logistics tools for efficient scenario management.

For training realism, users gain access to multi-hit damage effects, advanced vehicle movement, GPS jamming simulation, multi-vehicle towing, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging. These upgrades aim to help teams plan and respond to complex missions in simulated environments.

“You’re going to hear this a lot: MAK ONE 2025 is just better,” said Jim Kogler, Vice President of Products at MAK Technologies. “This release improves the fidelity of the virtual world, strengthens the core platform infrastructure, and provides our users with smarter, more capable tools right out of the box – all while grounded in open standards, open systems, and open APIs.”

MAK ONE 2025 continues to include the latest versions of the company’s tools, such as VR-Forces, VR-Engage, VR-Vantage, RFView, VR-Link, MAK RTI, and VR-TheWorld Server. The software is being showcased at AUSA 2025 in Washington, D.C.
