The standard for the Synthetic Training Environment (STE)
Cesium works with Maxar to build the US Army’s One World Terrain (OWT) Well Formed Format on 3D Tiles for high-speed creation, processing, and dissemination of high-resolution terrain.
This realistic, common, accessible, and automated 3D terrain dataset is usable by all simulation trainers that represent the complexities of the Operational Environment (OE) in support of training as provisioned through the STE.
From seabed to space
Digital Twins that deliver GEOINT that is accurate, timely, relevant, and discoverable from all domains from seabed to space.
The Cesium platform offers high-quality 3D visualization and runtime performance, advanced analytics, and data interoperability in the cloud or Self-Hosted.

Why 3D Visualization Matters Now
Time-dynamic 3D enables leaders to coordinate information and action across the domains of synchronized space, cyberspace, air, land, and sea.
Enabling game engines with WGS84 geospatial via Cesium
Game engines such as Unreal and Unity have the potential to advance training simulations; Cesium is applying our deep knowledge in real-world global-scale visualization and analysis to geospatial-enable game engines with accurate support for the One World Terrain (OWT) Well Formed Format (WFF).
