About
About Hadean
Hadean develops distributed simulation and AI decision-support software for defence planning, training and operations. populAI builds large synthetic environments with dynamic agent behaviour for wargaming, live-virtual-constructive training and mission rehearsal, incorporating terrain, local intelligence and grey-zone activity.
dominAI connects simulation with command-and-control systems to generate and compare courses of action, replan as scenarios change and coordinate sensors and effectors. The software supports air defence, targeting, transport planning and civil-resilience exercises, with secure and air-gapped deployment options. Hadean works with UK, US and allied defence organisations and technology integrators.

The agreement creates a UK MoD route to procure Hadean AI and synthetic-environment capability. Hadean cited use cases across live-virtual-constructive training, wargaming and command-and-control platforms. The agreement value is stated at up to ?20 million.
Source - 2024-02-01 - Award - DASA funds Hadean AI-enhanced British Army LVC training work
The project uses AI-powered spatial computing to populate synthetic training environments. The award targets richer LVC training for the British Army, including social-media and entity-behaviour simulation. The work connects Hadean with DASA, the Army and the Army Collective Training Service.
Source - 2023-09-13 - Contract Award - Hadean consortium wins four-year Field Army Forge contract
The Field Army Forge contract combines adaptive simulation, analytics and cloud-native infrastructure. Hadean contributes distributed compute and synthetic-environment capability to the consortium. The work extends a prior DASA-funded Forge effort into a four-year Field Army programme.
Source - 2022-10-10 - Contract Award - Hadean wins British Army simulation pathfinder contract
The pathfinder connects live, virtual and constructive training elements into a cloud-distributed simulation environment. The work gave Hadean a direct British Army end-user commitment for land-warfare simulation. The programme supports CTTP and the Defence Synthetic Environment Platform.
