The digital twin where drone and robotic systems are developed and proven.

For defense and for civil airspace. Prove it in a real place before it operates there.

What it is

Coldrange is a multi-domain digital twin: real places built from measured terrain, buildings and weather. Drones, ground robots, autonomy and the software that plans and commands them are developed and proven inside it, on land, at sea and in the air, among the people and infrastructure around them. The same environment runs a defense scenario against an adversary that adapts, or a delivery route over a city through thousands of scenarios.

Systems are built in hours. Proving they work still takes a real place.

AI now writes the code, drafts the design and iterates in hours. The result still has to be proven on real hardware.

Designated flight areas exist, and getting into one takes an authorization. A test flight there shows what happened on one day, in one wind.

NATO’s own simulation group reports that making simulation systems interoperable and their results credible “currently requires large efforts with regards to time, personnel and budget.”

Develop where you prove.

Pick a real place. Plug in what you are developing, from your own bench: a flight controller, a sensor, a whole system. It meets what it will meet for real, from the wind at height to an adversary that fights back. Vary the scenario, change the settings, and run it again, until you find what holds.

Applications

One environment, two application areas.

Same environment and the same interfaces, whichever side you work on.

Built for agents

Built to be run by agents.

Runs and their records at the bottom, one open interface above them, agents, your software and people working through it, and the 3D view on top as one way to watch.

Coldrange is designed to run headless. Scenarios, runs and results go through one open interface, so an agent can build a scenario, connect a system and run it through thousands of scenarios with nobody at the keyboard, and a person can open the 3D view and watch any run as it happens.

Each run is designed to be kept, with the route, the vehicle, the conditions and the outcome.

People stay in the loop: an agent proposes, a named person decides.

Sovereign

Built to keep your code and data in Europe.

Coldrange is a European company, built to keep your code, your city or site data and every run record in Europe: in our environment, in a dedicated one for you, or offline on your own premises where that is required. European models, or your own. Open formats, so the data stays yours and you can take it with you.

  • Our environment
  • A dedicated one
  • Offline, on your premises
Open

Open, so others can build in it.

Open interfaces and published protocols. Your hardware and autonomy run inside the environment on your terms.

It has happened before, one layer down. Many drone makers build on open autopilots like ArduPilot and PX4.

How the platform works

Bring your own system.

Share how your system is built, its manuals and its protocols, and we map it into the environment.

Build with us

Tell us what you need to prove.

We are building Coldrange in the open, with partners. If you build drones, ground robots, autonomy, command software or the components inside them, or you are responsible for the places where they operate, write to us.

Coldrange is new. The experience is not. The team has more than a decade of building hardware-in-the-loop systems, software that talks to real hardware from drones to tanks, including projects for NATO and the British military. It also brings decades of international business experience, and a track record of successfully building and scaling ecosystem products.
