Advanced Systems Development

We develop systems for Unix/Linux, Windows and the Internet using a variety of programming tools and languages such as Java,
C/C++ and Ada.

Interactive Internet Applications

Integration with mission critical business systems using technologies such as XML, middleware, application servers, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), JSP, WebServices etc. Applications can be integrated with mobile platforms using web browsers or mobile apps (iOS, Android and Windows). Through our partner Media Menu International (part-owned by Calisto) we can also provide graphical design and web design of Internet applications, Mobile applications and web sites in general. Hosting solutions can also be provided through partners.

GIS

Geographical and geospatial applications for command and control, statistics, logistics and digital maps.

Training

We have extensive experience providing training using either existing course materials or creating tailor made courses to meet specific customer needs. Examples of courses we have held:

  • Programming in Java, C++ and C
  • Unix/Linux Systems Administration and Systems Programming
  • 3D and/or Terrain Modelling for Visual Simulation (eg. using specific tools for a given customer)

Simulation and Visualisation

Real-time Visual Simulation

Real-time interactive visual simulation has several applications. The visual part of the simulation is often driven by an external input (eg. HLA). Visualisation of a simulation can take the form of simulated sensor outputs, a “god’s eye” view with high visual realism or abstract views, maps and diagrams of various statistics collected during the simulation. Man-in-the-loop operators can be given the possibility to interact with various parts of the simulation as it plays out. We can create visual simulation using standard tools for various platforms, or make completely custom-built visualisations from scratch or from customers own simulation platforms.

Animation

Animated films (and still shots) can be used for several different purposes: visualisation of future products and materiel, building projects etc, illustration of tactics and doctrine, for education, marketing and information and for entertainment. Since the films are pre-rendered there is really no limit to the amount of visual realism and/or special effects that can be put into an animated film apart from the time and cost of production. Sound effects add an important level of realism to the animated films. Output media can be in the form of a video or DVD or even a digital stream for use on a web page.

Collaborative Design using Virtual Reality

Using VR technologies such as stereographic displays and sensor gloves for direct manipulation of a model, we can staff modelling and design sessions for entire project groups. The model on screen is manipulated in real time according to the instructions from the project group. The output is a new or modified design and the fact that the whole group will have the same picture of what has actually been agreed on.

Distributed Simulation

Distributed (networked) multi-participant interactive real-time simulation for training, gaming and procurement. Calisto has extensive experience in creating and coordinating HLA and DIS simulations, as well as developing HLA federates for 2D and 3D visualisation. Drawing from our general experience in 3D visualisation we can create custom 3D models and advanced terrain models for simulation purposes. Among the services we can provide to our customers are:

  • Design and implementation of HLA federates
  • Coordination and management of complex simulations
  • 2D and 3D visualisations for various platforms
  • 3D modelling of vehicles and other artefacts
  • Creation of custom terrain models

Visualisation of complex information

Intuitive display and manipulation of complex information structures - including applications for command and control systems.

3D Modelling

Custom 3D-models for animation or real-time needs in architecture, construction, mechanics and product visualisation. The models can be used to make video sequences or in a real-time visual simulation.

Terrain Modelling

Custom terrain models and databases using geographical data (eg. DTED, DFAD, SEDRIS) together with aerial/satellite photographic data.
