Connecting constructive, virtual and live training 

Calian delivers a “train-as-you-fight” experience by integrating constructive, virtual and live simulation data and systems into a single synthetic environment. This delivers maximum realism by connecting decision-makers, leaders and exercise participants to a rich, detailed environment. Our scenario development integrates all the elements of the contemporary operating environment, including logistics and sustainment, air operations, and electronic, information and cyber activities. 

Realistic mission training through virtual reality

Virtual reality (VR) training systems immerse personnel in fully interactive, 360-degree operational environments—enabling mission-specific task execution using virtual tools, equipment and procedures. These solutions replicate the complexity of real-world operations, supporting muscle memory development and decision-making under pressure.

Immersive training significantly reduces time-to-competency and increases knowledge retention while lowering costs and minimizing training risk. VR offers a safe, scalable and deployable alternative to live-only training—especially valuable for high-risk or resource-intensive scenarios. Calian has delivered mission-relevant VR solutions such as replenishment-at-sea (RaS) and joint terminal attack controller (JTAC) training to enhance operational readiness across domains.

Connecting operational & training systems

Coalition militaries all have slightly different sensors and communications systems, and they need to talk to each other. Calian is a global leader in interoperability for operational and training systems. We connect everything from individually worn sensors for health monitoring and medical evacuation, to vehicle sensors, to ISR sensors for data interoperability. Using our Virtual Command and Control Interface (VCCI) and Audio Distribution Service (ADS) we drive interoperability. 

Stronger, lighter, longer-lasting than metal

Military specifications for equipment are among the highest in the world, to meet the exceptional conditions of military service. Calian delivers superior performance for defence manufacturing through our use of composites. We design, build, test and deliver custom and contract parts and systems using composites for land, maritime and space applications.   

Protecting infrastructure, networks and devices 

The contemporary operations environment relies on the rapid transfer of data from the battlefield to decision-makers. Calian delivers cybersecurity and emissions security solutions to protect your devices, network and infrastructure from interference and unauthorized access. Whether you need  reliable access at-the-edge or within a secure-by-design sovereign cloud with real-time backup, Calian is there to secure and shield your data from nefarious actors. 

Supporting satellite-based positioning and navigation applications

Calian is a leading manufacturer of high-precision GNSS and Iridium antennas, smart antennas (antennas with built in GNSS receivers) and accessories supporting a broad range of satellite-based positioning and navigation applications.

We are known for Accutenna®, VeraPhase®, VeroStar® and Helical antenna technologies. These technologies are among the highest performance antennas (low axial ratios, high multi-path signal rejection, tight PCV) in their size and weight, while setting economical price points. Calian’s antennas are the antennas of choice for a wide variety of applications.
