Training Solutions

VirtualSky

VirtualSky is fully immersive, scenario-based training platform built by Metaverse VR for the modern drone operator.

Designed to prepare UAV pilots for complex missions, hostile environments and emerging operational demands, VirtualSky combines high-fidelity simulation with real-time feedback, helping teams build competence, confidence and tactical advantage before they ever take flight.

From logistics to infrastructure and threat response – VirtualSky is the high-performance training ground for UAV teams to prepare for real-world excellence.

Why VirtualSky?

Uncrewed capability is growing fast. Training needs to keep up.
UAV pilots today face:

Bigger fleets, higher risk and tighter timelines

More autonomous systems and complex decision trees

Greater pressure to perform in contested, unpredictable spaces

VirtualSky gives operators a place to train, test and rehears safely, repeatedly and in real-world conditions.

How it Works

Immersive UAV training for the real world

VirtualSky combines real-time simulation, mission-specific scenarios and platform-customised interfaces built on Unreal Engine and optimised for UAV operations.

Operators train in ultra-realistic environments that replicate:

Terrain, threats and obstacles UAV handling and telemetry Communications, weather and mission complexity

Training data is captured and analysed so teams can monitor progress, track performance and adapt on the fly.

Benefits

Realism preparing you for reality

Our team of VirtualSky world-builders are experts in accuracy. They sweat even the smallest detail, designing each environment to look, feel and behave exactly like their real-world locations – providing the perfect training grounds for operators to acclimatise before they do it for real.

Accelerated learning. Deeper retention

The immersive VR environments in VirtualSky offer operators the opportunity to fail fast, learn fast. There are no risks to life, resources or costs – just repeatable opportunities to practice until everything becomes second nature.

Learners trained in VR complete tasks up to 4x faster and retain up to 75% more information than with traditional methods (PwC, 2020).

Faster operational readiness

There are no shortcuts to high performance capability, but VirtualSky gets your teams there faster. With immersive, repeatable training accessible from anywhere, you can reduce time to competency, compress onboarding cycles and maintain readiness without the need for live aircraft, airspace or travel.

VR training led to pilots needing 30% less time for a first solo flight (Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, 2023)

Time and cost savings

Train more people, in more places and for less. VirtualSky enables multi-user sessions across locations, reducing costs associated with travel, aircraft usage, and downtime. All sessions are logged, assessed and repeatable, making your training investment go further.

Immersive VR training has been shown to reduce training costs by up to 52% when deployed at scale (PwC, 2020).

Accurate UAV experience

Realism isn’t just about what you see - it’s about how it behaves. VirtualSky simulates real UAV physics, replicating how your specific drone model responds in flight: from power curves and inertia to payload impact and battery depletion. Pilots learn to feel the flight before they ever lift off.

Simulated training that mirrors real-world drone dynamics improves first-time mission success rates by over 30% (NPS Labs, 2021).

Where VirtualSky works best

VirtualSky is built for any scenario where UAV teams need to be mission-ready before they ever reach the field:

Tactical flight preparation

Surveillance and threat detection

Infrastructure inspection

Humanitarian and disaster logistics

Autonomy and systems testing

Platform-specific familiarisation

Proven in practice

VirtualSky is already trusted by leading defence and drone technology organisations – including Certo Aerospace – to prepare operators for mission-critical performance.
