The insightful articles, inspiring narrations and analytical perspectives presented by the Editorial Team, establish an alluring connect with the reader. My compliments and best wishes to SP Guide Publications.
"Over the past 60 years, the growth of SP Guide Publications has mirrored the rising stature of Indian Navy. Its well-researched and informative magazines on Defence and Aerospace sector have served to shape an educated opinion of our military personnel, policy makers and the public alike. I wish SP's Publication team continued success, fair winds and following seas in all future endeavour!"
Since, its inception in 1964, SP Guide Publications has consistently demonstrated commitment to high-quality journalism in the aerospace and defence sectors, earning a well-deserved reputation as Asia's largest media house in this domain. I wish SP Guide Publications continued success in its pursuit of excellence.
Antycip is delivering a next-generation virtual training solution for the Ministry of Defence's Joint Command and Staff Trainer (JCAST) programme. Powered by the MAK ONE suite from MAK Technologies and developed in collaboration with MASS and Hadean, the system supports more agile, immersive and future-ready mission preparation.
ST Engineering Antycip (Antycip), European leader in simulation and training solutions, is proud to announce its role in delivering an AI-enhanced virtual training environment, based on MAK ONE and its VR-Forces simulation engine, for the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) as part of the Joint Command and Staff Trainer (JCAST) programme.
The project brings together three core strengths: Operational and strategic command and control (C2) systems integration expertise from MASS, cutting-edge AI from Hadean, and high-fidelity simulation technology from Antycip, powered by VR-Forces, part of the MAK ONE suite platform developed by MAK Technologies, Antycip's sister company.
At the heart of the JCAST system lies VR-Forces, deployed and supported by Antycip. This computer-generated forces (CGF) platform enables the creation of rich virtual environments populated with intelligent autonomous agents ideal for tactical to strategic training, mission rehearsal, and experimentation with AI-driven decision-making.
By combining VR-Forces with Hadean's AI platform, the system modernises military training, enabling defence personnel to run complex, adaptive combat scenarios that support safe, efficient training, analysis and iteration beyond traditional limitations.
"This project is a strong example of what happens when open-architecture simulation platforms like MAK ONE meet the power of AI. We're proud to play a key role in enabling the UK MoD to evolve its training capabilities and prepare for the challenges of tomorrow," says Colin Chester, partner solutions architect at Antycip. "This new training capability represents more than a technological upgrade – it's a step-change in how defence organisations prepare for uncertainty, complexity, and joint-force operations."
This collaboration reflects Antycip's growing role as a trusted simulation integrator for defence organisations across Europe. Known for delivering both technical excellence and operational insight, Antycip supports the deployment of simulation solutions that are modular, interoperable and aligned with NATO standards.
