Experience Uncrewed Combat.

  • Uncrewed Tactical Environment Simulator (UTES) puts you behind the raw feed of FPV drones and armed UGVs across challenging recon, strike and survival missions and scenarios.

    UTES draws on lessons and observations from the fast-evolving world of modern uncrewed warfare to deliver an authentic experience that balances realism with satisfying gameplay, teaches you something, and rewards you for getting it right.

  • Connect a standard game controller or supported drone controller and you’re away in minutes. No manual. No complex, lengthy, mandatory set-up screens. Just operate.

    The fundamentals of UTES are easy to grasp, but mastering speed, momentum, line choice, precision and lethality is another matter. UTES gives new players a clear way in, experienced pilots are challenged.

  • Choose from different flight models designed around different skill levels and styles of play. Start with Stabilized mode and get comfortable. As you gain confidence, drop the training wheels and step up to Acro mode: more precise, more demanding, and much closer to the real thing.

    UTES simulates systems that matter in the real world: momentum, terrain, visibility, signal quality, target acquisition and time under pressure.

    Easy to learn, hard to master. Built on real-world lessons and observations.
