Transform Reality into Virtuality
IAV Mela, an AI-powered tool, revolutionizes scenario generation for virtual validation. Enhance safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in the development and assurance of defense and military systems with IAV Mela’s advanced object recognition and versatile applications.
The Challenge: Defense Systems Need to Be Prepared and Validated for Every Possible Operational Scenario
In the domain of modern defense and security systems — including autonomous platforms, unmanned vehicles (UAVs/UGVs), or complex weapons systems — the main challenge is to anticipate and validate every conceivable operational scenario. This ensures effective functionality even under extreme conditions and dynamic threat situations. Military standards and regulations require evidence of comprehensive testing in diverse, realistic field conditions.
Successfully overcoming these challenges is fundamental for developing robust, scalable, and cost-optimized defense solutions.
What is IAV Mela?
IAV Mela accelerates and simplifies the virtual validation of defense and autonomous systems by AI-based scenario generation. The tool automatically creates realistic simulations from specifications, operational descriptions, or analysis of field test videos. With seamless integration into existing simulation platforms and support of the open ASAM OpenX standard, IAV Mela optimizes workflows, increases test coverage, and reliably detects critical “corner cases.”
IAV Mela addresses complex challenges with high precision and is versatile, serving not only autonomous vehicle platforms but also tactical off-highway machinery and specialized defense applications. Additionally, it supports specific requirements such as testing vehicle dynamics and system components in safety-critical scenarios.
