  • Test, learn and adapt during early design and focus engineering efforts on the most promising designs
  • Automatically generate high quality code directly from your model making it easier to debug and make changes
  • Engineers focus on engineering work, designing systems in a GUI environment and automatically generate embedded code
  • Run simulations and get insights into the system at least 20-100x faster using HPC
  • Always work on the latest and greatest meaning no wasted work and allow your team to continuously understand the impact their changes have on the overall system 
  • Collaborate in real-time with your team, customers and JDM, streamlining sprint planning, change management and code reviews
  • Derisk earlier by testing thousands of design concepts before starting implementation work
  • Conduct system level tests for verification and validation so you can gain confidence in your system’s performance in the field
  • Get improved traceability from requirements to hardware implementation and generate pass/fail reports to use as DO and ISO certification artifacts
  • Perform closed loop SIL, MIL, HIL, DIL tests and store TBs of simulation results directly in your database for analysis at a later date
FEATURES

Conduct trade studies

Easily define your system architecture, interfaces and conduct trade studies to compare, analyze and optimize your system architecture

Have a digital thread from requirements to implementation to ensure design completeness, ease change management, and simplify certification process

Design your system using reusable function blocks

Integrate the design of your full system into one place - navigation, guidance, controls - to gain insight into end-to-end performance

Model your system in hours - not days - using our reusable function blocks, e.g., flight controls, nDOF, Kalman filters, environment models

Use our system design tools including MPC, robust control, automated tuning, model linearization, linear analysis, etc. to gain insights into your system faster

Simulate performance using HPC

Derisk earlier using rapid prototyping and testing thousands of design concepts before narrowing down your specifications and system architecture

Simulate millions of runs to test changes as you iterate and optimize your system’s performance based on different launch vehicle configurations and parameters

Automatically generate code

Generate high quality embedded code directly from your model and have any system changes propagate down to the target hardware

Reuse legacy code by integrating existing C code and test cases into your new design

Integrate AI in your design

Directly embed trained neural networks in your model to get end-to-end insight into your system performance. AI and ML applications can vary from trajectory calculations, obstacle avoidance, predictive maintenance, etc.

Seamless Verification and Validation (V&V)

Perform closed loop SIL, MIL, HIL, DIL tests and store TBs of simulation results directly in your database for analysis at a later date

Test your full end-to-end system virtually using 2D or 3D simulation environments and generate test coverage reports, ICDs and bug reports

Get improved traceability from requirements to hardware implementation to use in generating certification artifacts

Use your design as a digital twin

Use your design as a digital twin to simulate and test updates to your embedded software, train your ML and optimize the performance of your UAV

Connect to your CI/CD pipeline, e.g., Github, Jenkins, to push updated code to your fleet, make continual performance improvements

Collimator is by far the best modeling and simulation software that I have used. Using the block diagrams that Collimator provides has allowed me to simplify my code and shift the time I was spending writing convoluted scripts back to my research!
R&D Researcher, Control Systems
Collimator is head and shoulders above the rest. I’ve found modeling to be very easy and straightforward. I’ve also saved a bunch of time and money while running my simulations. The same simulations that would take hours to run on my local PC run in minutes.
Control Systems Engineer, Consumer Electronics
Collimator proved to be the best solution for me because of how easy it was to get data from our back end, use that to create synthetic data, and then move that data into my neural net for training.
Automation Engineer, Technology Startup
It is amazing to use Python, run on a web browser and collaborate on the cloud […] This is undoubtedly 10x better than what I've used before!
