JD2E at Paris Airshow 2025: Advancing Integrated ISR Simulation

JD2E was proud to stand at the forefront of innovation at Paris Airshow 2025, showcasing the Deployable Mission Operator System (DMOS)—our flagship simulation and training platform purpose-built for real-world, multi-domain ISR.

Developed by operators for operators, DMOS provides scalable, modular training across air, land, and maritime environments. Its power lies in integration. At Paris, we demonstrated a full mission suite combining CarteNav’s AIMS-ISR software, Teledyne FLIR’s Star SAFIRE® sensor, and Smith Myers’ ARTEMIS handset geolocation system. This real-time synergy allowed us to recreate operational ISR scenarios with unprecedented accuracy and immediacy.

Our platform supports high-fidelity training for mission crews—from classroom instruction to mission rehearsal—reducing platform burden while increasing readiness. Already used to train hundreds of aircrew, DMOS is fast becoming a trusted asset for ISR capability generation.

This is more than simulation. It’s operational rehearsal, strategic preparedness, and technological convergence—delivered today.

At JD2E, we don’t just simulate ISR missions. We prepare crews to lead them.

Waddington Industry Day and Awards Dinner

JD2E enjoyed being a part of this year’s Waddington Industry Day and Awards Dinner.  Neal and Mike hosted the JD2E stand during the day and Nicki presented our sponsored award for Aviator of the Year in the evening.  The meal provided was delicious and the evening saw many well-deserved nominees and award recipients.  Thank you to RAF Waddington for hosting and to Amy at the Greater Lincolnshire Regional Defence and Security Cluster for organising.

Attending the JOSCAS

Swaz (JD2E MD) had the privilege of attending the JEWOSC Outstanding Service and Contribution Awards (JOSCAS) on behalf of the Association of Old Crows (AOC), to present the AOC Award for Distinguished Service to Electronic Warfare by a Junior Rank.

A fantastic evening — months of preparation came together brilliantly. It was great to reconnect with familiar faces and meet new members of the ever-impressive EW community.

Walk and Talk ‘with a Flake’

Our events committee organised a ‘Walk & talk with a flake’ for last Friday, 30th May. Part of the Viking Way walk routes through just a few minutes from our offices and we never even knew about it! As it was half term, we were joined by some of our employee’s children and pets too, the views from the snippet of the Viking Way we walked was beautiful. The committee arranged a visit from Party Delights too for a refreshing ice cream post walk. A great start to a Friday!

VE Day Celebrations 8^th May 2025

Today, 8 May 2025, marks the 80th anniversary of VE Day. JD2E joined with our local community and attended a memorial service at our local church in the morning. 

We then had the pleasure of joining many of the businesses who share our working location at a lunch time celebration organised by the NDC Group who look after Wellingore Hall. Whilst we are all busy working in this beautiful location we rarely get the opportunity to see and chat to our ‘working neighbours’ and our immediate neighbours. Huge thanks to Richard and Samantha for organising the amazing event.

Pancreatic Cancer Fundraising Certificate

We were delighted to receive this thank you from Pancreatic Cancer UK for our Easter Egg Raffle! Thanks again to all who helped.
Over the years, survival rates have improved enormously for most cancers but sadly, for pancreatic cancer, this is not the case. More than half of people diagnosed die within 3 months – this is unacceptable. Thanks to our fundraising, Pancreatic Cancer UK can continue to fund research breakthroughs – their research funding will support the development of a simple test to diagnose pancreatic cancer earlier and ensure people get life-saving treatment faster.

Every pound you have raised will help us continue our work and demand better for everyone affected by the disease.

Welcome Mike Frankel!

JD2E are delighted to welcome Mike Frankel who joins us as an instructor following over 40 years’ service in the Royal Air Force. He brings with him a wealth of operational and instructional experience from the Airspace Battle Management environment, ranging from Radar and Tactical Data Link management to the delivery of specialist Air Operations courses.

Welcome to the team Mike!

Inaugural Event from the Ents Committee

A few members of our team have created an ‘events committee’ to arrange a monthly get together to allow us time to come together as a team, we appreciate that not everyone can make every event as service provision takes priority but our aim is to vary days and times so everyone can make something.

Today was the inaugural event – a lunch time quiz with home made cakes. The winning team were presented with the amazing Quiz Master trophy for safe keeping until the next time!

Thanks to the volunteers (and their partners for baking) – we look forward to the next event!

Egg-cellent News!

Staff at JD2E have been working hard to raise funds for Pancreatic Cancer, one of our company charities.

Huge thanks to Swaz for donating our top prize, to all the local shops for kindly donating eggs and of course everyone for purchasing tickets!!

The winner of our first prize bundle was Doug!
Congratulations Doug!

ITEC 2025

It’s been an incredible few days at ITEC 2025 – and we’re proud to be part of it!

It has been an exciting experience to showcase the power and potential of a fully integrated synthetic environment. Working alongside innovative partners, we’ve demonstrated how seamless collaboration can bring advanced technologies to life, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of defense and simulation. This project is a testament to the invaluable contributions SMEs make in driving progress and innovation within the industry.

A huge thank you to the Project OdySSEy team for the warm welcome. We’re thrilled to be joining the OdySSEy family and to contribute our Anti-Submarine Warfare expertise to help shape the future of integrated, collective training in the Single Synthetic Environment.

A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to engage, looking forward now to following up on the great conversations and collaborations in the coming weeks!
