Welcome to The Portico Project! Portico is an open source, cross-platform, fully supported HLA RTI implementation. Designed with modularity and flexibility in mind, Portico is a production-grade RTI for the Simulation and Training Community, so come say hi!

Pass Fail Pass
Once you've got Portico, you'll need to know how to use it. Whether you're a general user or a federate developer, we've got you covered. Here you'll find guides to get you started with widely-used training tools, in addition to code examples and walk-through's for the coders out there. Java or C++; we won't judge.
It's not nice to feel lonely. Luckily, you don't have to! Portico has a large install base of attractive and intelligent users you can interact with. If you need some help, or want to level-up your street cred by contributing to Portico, here is where you find out how. If you wear a suit, we're down with that as well and Commercial Support is available.
Portico provides a lot of value over alternatives, here are a few reasons to choose it...
Portico supports all the major IEEE and SISO standards. HLA v1.3, SISO DLC, IEEE-1516e, it's practically raining standards!
May the source be with you. No really, go get it. The full Portico source code is freely available and waiting for you. Fork us and contribute!
Need someone who will answer your calls and fix your problems? We've got you covered. Commercial support is readily available.
The HLA is hard enough as it is, so we've tried to make the RTI easy. Portico doesn't require a central RTI, has sensible defaults and is designed to let you just get down to work.
We do simulation. Daily. Portico is used in our commercial products and we hammer it hard, because we want the open standard to set the standard.
Portico has been downloaded in more than 50 countries. It is used in government, industry and academia the world over, because open source knows no accent.
Commercial support helps sustain Portico development and provides a number of benefits, including a dedicated helpdesk, long-term release support, custom development time and service-level agreements. For all the details, see the Support page.
Portico is continuously tested and validated against leading simulation systems from the Live, Virtual and Constructive domains.
X-Plane is the premier flight simulator for personal computers and high-fidelity simulation systems alike. Offering a highly realistic flight model, X-Plane is a fully-fledged engineering tool for either fixed-wing or rotary aircraft flight training and analysis. X-Plane 10 is DIS and HLA enabled via Calytrix LVC Game.
VBS2 is a first-person, virtual environment supporting individual and collective training. VBS2 merges mainstream game technology with simulation and training features and a comprehensive content suite to deliever the most widely deployed virtual military training environment globally. VBS is DIS and HLA enabled via Calytrix LVC Game.
Steel Beasts is a small-unit armored and mechanized combat simulation. Distinguished from other simulations by a faithful reproduction of tactical manoeuvres and Fire Control Systems, Steel Beasts provides tactical training for single-vehicle, platoon and company scenarios. Steel Beasts supports DIS and HLA via Calytrix LVC Game.
Joint Semi Automated Forces (JSAF) is a constructive simulation developed by the United Stated Joint Forces Command (USJFCOM) with the aim of providing a high fidelity entity level simulation to support training and experimentation. JSAF is HLA-enabled natively and includes a DIS bridge.
OneSAF is an entity-level, brigade-and-below constructive simulation system developed by the US Army. It is designed to support a variery of needs including training, experimentation, analysis, mission planning and rehersal. OneSAF is distributed and supports DIS and HLA operation.
JCATS is an entity-based constructive sim used in command-post level training and analysis. Like JSAF and OneSAF, users can create and command semi-automated computer generated forces backed by high-fidelity models. Developed at Lawrence Livermore National Lab, JCATS is both DIS and HLA enabled.

I seeeee you.
That big eye-thing in the Hobbit movies
You never call anymore
Sadly, unlike the big eye-thing in those movies, we don't. People download
the tools and then they're gone! Do you love it? Hate it? We don't know.
We don't even know who you are! If you won't talk to us, at least let us
talk to you. Sign up to the Announcements mailing list.
