Umbra™ is a flexible tactical hybrid simulation engine and framework that is designed to rapidly model complex systems. Umbra can integrate physical, cyber, and behavioral elements at variable fidelity in a 3D environment. It regularly works the range of Live-Virtual-Constructive (LVC) environments, including faster than real-time simulation calculations for generative analysis and real-time interactions that incorporate live external data feeds or human interaction. Umbra underlies a number of tools and can also be used by itself. (more about Umbra)
