Better Together with AVS and MAK: From LS Core 2.0 to Avalon Airshow and Beyond!   

This is a guest article written by MAK’s friend and partner, Paul Rogers, former Australian Army Colonel, from Applied Virtual Simulations (AVS). The LS Core program mentioned below is another great example of MAK ONE being used as a common synthetic environment for collective training, similar to the UK RAF’s Gladiator program. 

Imagine training for the battlefield anywhere, anytime, without limitations. Land Simulation Core 2.0 provides the Australian Army with a single simulation platform to prepare soldiers for the real-world challenges of modern warfare.

Packed with immersive graphics, real-world terrain mapping spanning thousands of square kilometers, and seamless global connectivity, LS Core 2.0 brings training to life like never before. Whether in barracks or the field, soldiers can now train together, whether distributed or collective. With accurate vehicular modelling and high-fidelity 3D assets, training is more realistic and accessible than ever. 

This is all possible because of the AVS and MAK partnership!

The continued collaboration between Applied Virtual Simulation (AVS) and MAK Technologies (MAK) ensures that Australian customers and programs, like LS Core 2.0, receive cutting-edge simulation technology backed by local, hands-on support. By combining AVS’s deep knowledge of the Australian defense and training landscape with MAK’s world-class simulation solutions and the MAK ONE suite, this partnership delivers tailored, high-performance virtual training environments. 

Built on the Australian Generic Training and Simulation Architecture (AS GTSA), this standards-based, scalable, future-ready platform ensures our forces stay ahead of the game. LS Core 2.0 integrates with Navy, Air Force, and allied training systems, allowing for combined arms training scenarios with unprecedented connectivity. 

AVS is proud to be at the heart of this transformation. As Australia’s leading defence simulation provider, we’re here to help you unlock the full potential of LS Core 2.0 with tailored solutions and seamless integration, and we’re glad to have MAK by our side.

This brings us to Avalon Airshow, coming up at the end of March. AVS is excited to be a part of the commercial exhibition section in booth 4D14 — stop by to experience our latest Apache simulator, designed by AVS and running seamlessly on the LS Core terrain.

To learn more about MAK ONE capabilities on the show floor, be sure to visit MAK’s representative, Ross Uhler, former U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, at the MAK booth in the USA Pavilion #3P2.

We’re proud of our partnership with MAK, and we’re even more proud that together, we enable Australian defence and industry clients to take advantage of the latest advancements in simulation to prepare our warfighters for the future.
