DefenceVR · Built for the Indian Army

Full-spectrum combat training
for the Indian Army.

Five ready-to-deploy simulators covering the Indian Army's most urgent training gaps — drone piloting, counter-UAS, EW-contested operations, small-unit infantry combat and border surveillance. Plus bespoke simulation engagements for any mission profile the force needs rehearsed.

The case for synthetic training

The world's serious armies have already made the move.

Synthetic training is no longer an adjunct to live exercise. For every peer-level military, it is the primary preparation method — live training validates what simulation has already taught. The Indian Army is writing that chapter now. DefenceVR is the platform.

SAF Simulation Centres

Simulation infrastructure across every service arm. A small army trained to the standard of a large one — synthetically.

Why now

Modern war is drone-defined, spectrum-contested and urban. Live training cannot keep up.

  • 01
    Drones decide the fight

    Contested-zone casualties from first-person-view drones have become the defining signature of the modern battlefield. Every soldier now needs drone-awareness training — whether they fly, defend against, or operate around them.

  • 02
    Live-fire cannot scale

    An Indian Army infantry battalion cycles through live firing ranges on a calendar. A simulator cycles through a battalion in a week. The gap between 'how often we train' and 'how often we should train' is what simulation closes.

  • 03
    The theatres are unforgiving

    Mountain warfare in Ladakh. Jungle in Manipur. Urban CQB in Poonch. Border surveillance on the LAC and LoC. The conditions that decide outcomes are the conditions hardest to replicate in live training.

  • 04
    Lessons in real time

    Ukraine, Gaza, Red Sea, Armenia–Azerbaijan. Every month of contemporary conflict rewrites the training curriculum. Simulation is the only way to keep up without deploying to learn.

The aerial trio

Three simulators, one proprietary core.

The flagship aerial family — drone pilot training, counter-UAS command post and EW-contested operations. Every simulator shares a single 28-parameter flight physics engine and a hardware-informed sensor pipeline calibrated against Aonix's in-house mmWave radar and thermal imaging.

SIMULATOR 01 · Aerial · Drone pilot

UDAAN-SIM. drone pilot simulator with physical rc controller.

A VR drone pilot simulator paired with a real RC transmitter over USB-C. The only training experience where stick-feel, throws and expo carry directly from the simulator into the field kit. Thirteen-plus drone platforms across eight Indian theatres built from 30-metre SRTM elevation data — Ladakh to the Northeast, Kashmir to the Thar.

SIMULATOR 02 · Aerial · Counter-UAS

KAVACH-SIM. counter-drone warfare simulator.

A virtual counter-UAS command post for detecting, classifying, tracking and neutralising drone threats — from a single reconnaissance aircraft to a hundred-aircraft swarm. Sensor simulation is calibrated against Aonix's in-house mmWave radar and thermal imaging hardware, delivering physical fidelity that software-only simulators cannot match.

SIMULATOR 03 · Aerial · EW-contested

VAYU-SIM. drone operations simulator for gps-denied, ew-contested environments.

A combat-operations simulator for the conditions that cause mission failure in modern warfare. Trains drone operators to navigate, coordinate and strike under GPS denial, active jamming and a contested electromagnetic spectrum — the baseline of every peer-level battlefield.

Don't see your mission here?
We build it.

DefenceVR is a simulator library — and a simulation partner. Beyond the five ready-to-deploy products, we co-develop bespoke simulators for Indian Army formations. Unit-specific terrain. Platform-specific flight models. Doctrine-specific wargaming. Any mission profile the force needs rehearsed.

  1. 01
    Scoping
    A 2-week engagement with your formation to establish training objective, operational context and success criteria.
  2. 02
    Build
    8 – 12 week sprint. Terrain, platforms, doctrine, scenarios authored against your mission profile. Weekly demos.
  3. 03
    Trial
    On-site trial deployment with your unit. Instructors trained. Scenarios refined with live feedback.
  4. 04
    Sustain
    Roll into your calendar. Scenario library expands. Instructors author their own. You own the doctrine.

The engineering foundation

A platform,
not a skin.

Every DefenceVR simulator runs on a single proprietary core — physics, sensor simulation and deployment architecture built in India, by engineers with hardware lineage in defence sensing. One authority of record across the library.

01 / 03

28-parameter flight physics

Propulsion, battery chemistry, aerodynamics, environmental forces, sensor physics and electronic-warfare effects — independently configured per airframe. A purpose-built platform, not an off-the-shelf game engine dressed in olive drab.

  • Propulsion & battery
  • Aero & environmentals
  • Sensor physics
  • EW effects
02 / 03

Hardware-informed sensor simulation

KAVACH-SIM's radar, thermal and RF signatures are calibrated against Aonix's in-house mmWave radar and thermal imaging hardware. The simulator is tuned by the same engineers who build the sensors it models.

  • mmWave radar reference
  • Thermal imaging reference
  • Edge AI on device
  • Signature library
03 / 03

Deployable anywhere

Standalone field kit on a single VR headset, or PC-tethered for fixed installations. Identical training content, identical analytics, identical doctrine. The simulator goes where the unit goes.

  • Under 1 kg standalone
  • Under 5 minute setup
