SynDOJO
Unmanned Systems Simulation, Training, and Validation Platform.
Train operators and autonomous systems together in a synthetic environment. High-volume reps, objective scoring, detailed performance review. Validate before deployment.
Why SynDOJO?
Training for unmanned systems is slow, expensive, and hard to scale. SynDOJO creates a data-driven path from practice to validated readiness without burning live flight hours.
Scenarios in minutes
Build mission-realistic reps without scheduling a live range.
Shift to synthetic
Move prep and evaluation into simulation. Reserve live operations for what must be done in the field.
Operator-driven
Instructors create, adjust, and rerun scenarios without developers.
Proven playbooks to operations
Push validated procedures into the field, not untested theory.
Cross-domain
sUAS, UAS, ground, maritime, fixed sites, and mixed teams in one environment.
Measure what matters
Track Probability of Detection (POD), false alarms, time-to-cue, and operator response.
Capabilities
Build complex missions
Multi-asset, multi-domain scenarios with friendly, adversary, and neutral elements, dynamic weather, terrain, and injects.
Train like the real thing
Aircraft-specific flight models for Group 1 through Group 3 UAS. Realistic flight characteristics including payload effects and environmental conditions. ArduPilot-style flight modes with responsive FPV drone handling.
Rehearse as a team
Multiplayer across local and remote networks. Session hosts change weather and introduce simulated failures in real time. Operators coordinate and practice decision-making under changing conditions.
Measure and improve
Timelines, heatmaps, and objective scores drive the next rep. Weighted scoring, per-entity crash penalties, and centralized grading with analytics.
Grade automatically
Score by task, timeline, comms, and sensor use. Full course cycle management from one interface: create, assign, assess. Export for records.
Validate AI
Evaluate models, alert logic, and fusion pipelines before deployment.
Connect existing tools
TAK/ATAK via Cursor-on-Target. MAVLink v2 GCS integration with QGroundControl, Mission Planner, ATAK, and DJI RC Pro. DIS Protocol (IEEE 1278.1), RTSP streaming, and ONVIF camera emulation. SynApi REST/WebSocket API with 50+ provider adapters.
Replay operational data
Ingest recorded EO/IR, radar, AIS, and TacOS evidence bundles. Flight analytics, hotspot markers, and per-entity telemetry in SynReplay.
Supported Inputs

Why teams trust It?
DIU-selected & Blue UAS–aligned
Built to help programs move from prototypes to fielded capability with U.S.-made components.
Proven in commercial operations
Supports industrial, logistics, and infrastructure training programs.
Secure by design
On-prem, disconnected ops, RBAC, audit trails. Classified environments up to Secret.
Operational impact
Accelerated qualification
Validated detection
Reduced range dependency
Efficient sustainment
Auditable records
Use Cases
Defense
sUAS/UAS ISR, route clearance, base security, maritime perimeter, contested communications rehearsals. Radar and ATC simulation for airspace management training.
Public Safety & Infrastructure
Search and rescue training, event security, pipeline patrol simulation. Scenario-based certification across shifts and agencies.
Industrial
Yard logistics, warehouse inventory, inspection workflows. Crew rehearsal before live operations in hazardous environments.
OEMs & Integrators
Customer training, autonomy testing, structured acceptance events. FPV benchmarking with TestPilot automated test suite.
Workflow
Each rep feeds the next. Performance climbs while costs stay flat.
Pricing & deployment
Laptop, workstation, or server. Standalone or networked. Unclassified through Secret. On-prem with optional cloud-assist. DDIL-capable for disconnected and offline operation.
Program impact at a glance
< 15 min
to first scenario
Live training spend
A larger share of training effort can move into synthetic events, reducing reliance on live-only training.
Repetitions per week
Teams run high-volume quality reps each week that live-only schedules cannot match.
