Turkish protection agency HAVELSAN, which invests in “serious game” applied sciences used within the protection trade, introduced Monday that it has entered a partnership with Epic Games, finest identified for its Unreal Engine platform, for the discharge of a primary particular person shooter recreation known as “Malazgirt.”
According to data gathered by Anadolu, HAVELSAN, which operates within the fields of protection, simulation, informatics, nationwide safety and cyber safety, continues to put money into “serious game” applied sciences.
Having applied the “Malazgirt Serious Game Infrastructure Project,” HAVELSAN has taken its current work on critical video games to a brand new degree.
Epic Games, which has attracted consideration as one of many world’s main gaming firms, is thought for growing Unreal Engine, a recreation engine that has turn into a broadly used device within the online game trade.
Thanks to the current advances in know-how and the event of Unreal Engine, the usage of recreation applied sciences for varied sectors apart from video video games has come to the fore.
It is feasible for sectors resembling simulation, the Metaverse, structure and cinema to make use of recreation applied sciences, however there’s a restricted variety of specialists around the globe in Unreal Engine know-how, which has opened as much as many various disciplines with this growing know-how.
As a consequence, Epic Games determined to create a portal by bringing collectively various firms whose experience it has audited and authorised worldwide.
Companies accepted as service companions and printed on Epic Games’ portal will each talk with one another and have the possibility to assist partnership initiatives developed in their very own fields around the globe.
With this partnership and its inclusion on the official service companion portal of Epic Games, HAVELSAN has additionally had the chance to advertise its work and the companies it supplies in simulation initiatives particular to the areas it undertakes on a prestigious platform.
MALAZGIRT PROJECT LED EFFORTS
HAVELSAN General Manager Mehmet Akif Nacar stated they’ve accomplished the primary section of the Malazgirt Project inside the scope of their work within the discipline of great video games and they’ll begin the second section.
Pointing out the significance of presenting reasonable photographs, the surface world and the bodily results there as actual in simulators and conflict video games, Nacar stated the significance of great video games will increase when it’s made a device for use in modeling the battlefield.
“It is an area where all kinds of external environments, from streams to hills, from bridges to roads, from trees to plants, from wind to snow, from rain to hail are modeled as if they were real,” he stated.
Explaining that they began utilizing the Unreal Engine know-how, which has turn into probably the most developed recreation engine on this discipline, with the Malazgirt Project, Nacar stated they signed an settlement with Epic Games afterward.
“In line with this agreement, HAVELSAN has become one of the most important representatives of Epic Games in the region. We have developed cooperation issues such as some after-sales services of Epic Games, working with HAVELSAN as the authorized representative on Unreal game development,” he stated.
Noting they are going to make the Malazgirt Project open supply after finishing the second section, Nacar stated they are going to make it out there to recreation builders.
“You can produce valuable values in open source and make them licensed, for example, to model the platforms used in our country. For example, you can model all platforms such as Atak, Hürkuş, Hürjet, Anka, Bayraktar TB2, Aksungur, Akıncı, MILGEM, LHD and turn these models into intelligent units supported by artificial intelligence,” he stated, referring to Turkish-made protection gear.
“In other words, by supporting them with a game engine, you can see how they produce a 3D image in the real environment, in the war environment, how they interact, together with the effects of the outside world, and their educational benefits. We know that it is a company, there is a wide ecosystem, and we want to ensure that the domestic-national platforms developed in our country develop in terms of games by turning more towards areas such as casual games, serious games, war games,” he added.
‘WE WILL REALIZE THE VIRTUAL WAR ENVIRONMENT TOGETHER’
Pointing out that HAVELSAN has developed varied merchandise on this discipline with greater than 25 years of modeling and simulation expertise, Nacar stated they’re transferring in direction of a world the place a apply surroundings may be mixed with digital actuality and shot in actuality with the assistance of growing applied sciences.
Emphasizing that critical gaming applied sciences are essential on this technological growth, he stated “2023 will be a year in which we will realize the digital warfare environment by adding visuality on top of our knowledge from the past and launch products in this field.”
“Later on, we will continue our presence in this field with more advanced products, and we will go one step ahead, the benefit of it being open source and having an ecosystem. (But) we do not have the chance to model and integrate every scenario or platform into the system. This means more need for manpower and effort,” he added.
“Therefore, it will be important that these are developed and built-in extra rapidly by spreading to the ecosystem. And then we’ll assume the position of integrating them and understand the digital conflict surroundings along with the ecosystem. Because the world goes there, in direction of the Metaverse.
“These technologies are also in the Metaverse infrastructure. We started from war games and went from virtual games to virtual twins. We are heading towards a world where real physical platforms and virtual platforms work together. One of the indispensable areas of technology here is the field of serious games. We want to further consolidate our presence in this area. This is where the world is going. I would like to express that we are ready to fulfill our duty in order for our country to go further in this field,” he added.
