Enabling Operational Readiness

We deliver end‑to‑end exercise and training support, covering design, development, delivery and after‑action enablement. We ensure lessons are captured, retained and applied within a sovereign training framework.  

Our Belgium‑based teams include planners, scripters, exercise managers, role players, network and C54ISRT technicians, and simulation operators, enabling reliable delivery while maintaining national control of knowledge and data.

Defence Services

Our services scale from focused training activities for individuals and sub-units to complex multi-unit exercises, adapting to mission needs while maintaining consistency, quality and long-term capability ownership within Belgium. 

Calian brings strong expertise in LVC-focused, distributed and federated training, with proven interoperability between simulation systems and operational C5ISRT and battle management systems. This enables train-as-you-will-fight environments that support a smooth transition from training to operational employment—without reliance on externally controlled systems.

Technology Ecosystem

Training effectiveness increases when supported by a single, coherent training ecosystem that remains under national governance. Calian delivers this through AI enabled workflows, event design and control tools, and robust content, data, communications, and integration support. This ensures data sovereignty, reduced time to competency and increased readiness.  

Our representative toolset—including MaestroEDE®, VCCI and ADS—is integrated and operated as part of a Belgian-delivered solution, supporting interoperability while preserving sovereign control over training environments and voice networks. 

Calian defence training solutions

From concept to execution to after-action review, Calian's training tools deliver a superior training experience. Using a systems-agnostic approach, we integrate simulation and operational systems into a single immersive training environment for a "train-as-you-fight" experience.
