MAK Technologies

Develops live, virtual, constructive simulation software

Overview

MAK Technologies builds software for live, virtual, and constructive simulation. Its MAK ONE suite combines commercial-off-the-shelf tools to create, connect, and populate 2D/3D simulated environments used for training, planning, analysis, experimentation, prototyping, and demonstrations. The primary users are in aerospace and defense, though its tools support modeling and simulation needs across industries. The product works by integrating COTS components to assemble flexible simulations that can run in real time, with capabilities to train staff, test concepts, and visualize scenarios. MAK differentiates itself by offering modular MAK ONE products, strong technical support, and tailored command-staff training solutions. The goal is to help customers develop, link, and operate flexible simulation environments to meet training and decision-support needs.
