Building on our MoU with Plexsys, announced in June, �׻��������� Training and Simulation is delighted to announce as the next member of our growing team to help deliver next-generation operational training solutions to the UK Ministry of Defence.

Hadean’s next-generation platform brings together data and computation at scale, providing a unified platform for synthetic environments and digital twins. Their addition to the already established MoU with Plexsys will further enhance the partnership’s capabilities in synthetic battle-space training, digital simulation systems, AI, modelling, integration expertise and more.

Two become three

The team will combine their complementary skills, expertise and services across multiple domains to address the critical MOD challenge of retaining an operational edge over potential adversaries by being able to effectively integrate currently disparate military capabilities.

Designing and building for scale, high fidelity, and integrating live data with simulation, the Hadean, Plexsys and �׻��������� team will harness their collective expertise to provide a layered approach to multi-domain operational training. 

With Hadean now part of the MoU, this new three-way partnership will become an even stronger force when it comes to research and defining and developing cutting-edge technological solutions. Not only will each organisation be able better to exploit singular and collective opportunities as they arise, but more importantly the MOD and the RAF will benefit from the ‘brain trust’ of three organisations at the top of their game.

Craig Beddis is CEO of Hadean, a venture-backed startup reimagining distributed, spatial, and scalable computing for web 3.0 and the metaverse for customers as varied as Sony, Microsoft, Minecraft, the Francis Crick Institute and the UK MOD. Before joining Hadean, Craig was CEO at C24 Technologies and Crane Software CEO roles after spending 12 years in senior sales and marketing roles. 

Partnering with �׻��������� and PLEXSYS, two well-established names in military technology and defence, is a big step forward for Hadean. Through our Hadean Platform, we’ll be providing a strong backbone to allow them to push the boundaries of their expertise and build truly cutting-edge capabilities for cross-domain collaboration and data intelligence, using synthetic environments. Together, we’ll provide military end-users with essential tools for maintaining battle-readiness and gaining the upper hand in an increasingly complex global strategic context.
