Can it run on our classified network?
Run LVC training across a classified boundary: cross-domain guard and filtering, monitoring, time synchronisation, and test and certification.
Yes. Air Combat Arena runs on the classified side, with the security boundary designed into the product. How data may cross to the unclassified side is chosen per deployment: standalone, one-way, or controlled two-way.
Classified and unclassified
In classified and coalition training, the security posture often decides whether an exercise can happen at all, so the Arena makes it explicit.
Country-specific configurations
Classified and unclassified configurations, specific to each country.
Accredited deployments
Our simulators operate within accredited national and NATO-country security environments. We supply the hardware, software and interface inventories your accreditation needs.
One posture, chosen per deployment
Standalone, with no data path between the sides. One-way, through a hardware data diode, with the cross-domain guard enforcing the direction and a protocol break. Or controlled two-way, over a link accredited as a bidirectional path.

Built-in Assurance
Security and trust designed into the product — a cross-domain boundary, a trustworthy clock, live readiness, and verification before the training day.
Cross-Domain Guard
A controlled, one-way boundary between security domains, deny-by-default.
- Enforced one-way flow and a protocol break
- Deny-by-default — nothing crosses unless policy allows
- Every release decision recorded; the guard protects itself
Cross-Domain Mediation & Filtering
Simulation-aware filtering, so the boundary is tight without strangling training.
- Protocol break and serialise so data can be inspected
- Strip or block against the release policy
- Geographic and update-rate control on the flow
Cross-Domain Monitoring
Watch and replay the boundary to prove the posture held.
- Central, near-real-time monitoring of guard and filtering
- Configuration, import/export and failure events logged
- Post-exercise replay for review and risk assessment
Cross-Domain Policy Management
Author the release policy and see its training cost before the run.
- Author, version and distribute the release policy
- Authenticated, signed, non-repudiable changes
- Assess a restriction's impact on the planned mission threads
Time Synchronisation
Shared time you watch rather than assume, so a drifting clock is caught while the mission is still running.
- Every participant on one common clock, so live, simulated and recorded data line up on a single timeline
- A live operator read on synchronisation health and per-participant offset, against your own time source
- Drift flagged before clocks slip out of tolerance and messages start getting rejected
Technical Monitoring
See the system stay ready and catch a failing component while there is still time to fix it.
- Live component health, resource use, and simulation traffic counts and rates, by exercise
- A component that stops reporting or a link that saturates surfaces at once, while it can still be fixed
- Structured logs you can review and export for diagnosis and after-action review
Test & Certification
Verify and pre-certify joining systems against the exercise test plan before the training day, not during it.
- Joining checks that a system connects and exchanges the right data before it enters the exercise
- Interoperability testing against the exercise test plan, re-run whenever a system changes
- An acceptance report of pass/fail results, with detail, that supports certifying a known-good environment
