Company Profile

In December 2006, Mak Technologies Inc was acquired by VT Systems. MÄK Technologies develops software to link, simulate and visualize the virtual world. The firm create tools and toolkits for distributed simulations, develop PC-based military tactical trainers, craft custom solutions, and research and develop the latest simulation technologies. They build commercial-off-the-shelf simulation tools and toolkits that are flexible, portable, and supported. MÄK leverages its toolkits to develop affordable, PC-based, desktop training simulations. These trainers immerse students in realistic wartime scenarios, giving them the opportunity to plan the battle, fight the battle, and evaluate battle decision-making. MÄK uses its expertise to provide custom simulation solutions, including tailored product enhancements and custom synthetic environments. Our work includes research and development in networking, graphical user interfaces, display management, applied artificial intelligence, distributed computing, and 3D graphics. The firm's founders left Bolt Beranek and Newman’s SIMNET project team to found MÄK - an employee-owned software company. MÄK’s primary users are in the defense industry, though the company’s products and solutions are applicable to anyone with a distributed simulation requirement. Worldwide customers include ITT Industries, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Tenix, Dassault and BAE.
