Adaptation, Accelerated.
Metrea is the leading provider of effects-as-a-service to national security partners across multiple domains and over a dozen mission areas.
We do this by hunting for wicked problems in national security and then building elegant solutions that leverage commercial technology and business models.
The Metrea Difference
Hunting for Asymmetry:
Our work begins by looking for wicked problems, against which we think we can design, develop and deliver elegant solutions. We anticipate customer requirements so as to be ready to deliver truly asymmetric effects before the need becomes pressing.
Connecting design with effect:
Putting operators and engineers under one roof allows us to pull insights from the field directly into the lab. Our insight-to-innovation cycles mean we design, build and operate turnkey solutions that dynamically adjust to customer requirements.
Effects-as-a-Service:
We are partners, not contractors. We deliver commercial solutions in a way that incentivizes us to constantly innovate, proactively adapting our solutions to continually drive effectiveness and efficiency gains for the benefit of our customers.

Digital & Synthetic
Mission-focused information solutions connecting the digital and physical worlds.
The NOR platform brings the cutting-edge technology, scalability and accessibility of commercial game engines to the high-end military training and simulation market, creating an ultimate-fidelity physics-based military simulator.
- Tactical NOR (TACNOR) offers training and simulation with an unprecedented level of immersion and realism. From fully detailed cockpit simulations to top-down map views, TACNOR enables control at any level.
- Operational NOR (OPNOR) enables large-scale high-fidelity simulations of combat operations, providing analysts with the tools to optimise force structures and mission sets. Leveraging tactical, physics-based modelling from the NOR platform and integrating them into performant operational-level environments delivers a huge leap in modelling capabilities.
Metrea’s LASSO capability is a unique software solution that enables airborne platforms to capture Space Domain Awareness video and images by utilizing traditional ISR cameras to look up into lower earth orbit. This software runs alongside existing ISR mission systems without the need for complex and expensive integrations, enabling even more capability to be gained from traditional manned and unmanned ISR platforms.
Multi-source, multi-domain real-time intelligence. Metrea’s approach is to blend synthetic, live and historical data from across multiple domains to generate the most up-to-date common operating picture possible. It then utilizes cutting-edge ML algorithms, developed in partnership with academia, to generate insights maximizing information advantage.
Metrea’s OLYMPUS platform provides a data-centric mission system that enables its operators to cut through the large volume of data produced from onboard sensors to get to the information that matters during mission execution.
Tailored tactical data links (TDL) solutions for optimizing our customers’ systems. We focus on every step of the solution process - integration, test, and readiness of TDL capability at the terminal, platform, and network levels.
