NEW YORK and NETANYA, Israel, Nov. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — T3 Defense Inc. (Nasdaq: DFNS) (“T3 Defense” or the “Company”), a defense technology holding company, today announced that its subsidiary, Tiltan Software Engineering Ltd. (“Tiltan”), will launch two new simulation products, TOPS-NX Studio and SILOS, at the I/ITSEC 2026, the Interservice/Industry Training and Simulation Conference, taking place November 30 – December 3, 2026 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. The products extend Tiltan’s physics-based simulation portfolio and strengthen its position in the training, simulation, and sensor-development market.
I/ITSEC, organized by the National Training and Simulation Association (NTSA), an affiliate of the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), is the world’s largest event dedicated to modeling, simulation and training (MS&T). It brings together the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. armed services, allied militaries, defense prime contractors and training commands.
Two New Products Launching at I/ITSEC 2026
Together, TOPS-NX Studio and SILOS are designed to connect scenario creation with simulation deployment: TOPS-NX Studio enables users to build and configure synthetic environments, while SILOS enables those environments to run across multiple simulation instances.
TOPS-NX Studio – Your One-Stop Shop for Physics-Based Simulation and Synthetic Data
TOPS-NX Studio is a physics-based simulation platform for sensor engineering, AI training and validation, and synthetic data generation across space, air, land and maritime domains. Its no-code environment enables teams to build geo-located scenarios, accurately model sensors across visible, thermal infrared, SAR and LiDAR spectrums, and simulate infrared using a validated library of more than 250 materials. Optional plug-ins support batch simulations across varying conditions, managed recordings and automatically annotated datasets, reducing the time and cost of real-world data collection.
SILOS – The System-in-the-Loop Battle Lab
SILOS integrates real and simulated sensors, platforms, AI and autonomy into a single battle lab to evaluate performance against repeatable, physics-based mission scenarios. Live simulations are scored against ground truth, providing insight into overall system performance. Defense teams can compare sensors, tactics and operating conditions before costly field trials, enabling more informed decisions and better field readiness.
“Tiltan is executing the playbook we apply across T3 Defense: take capabilities already validated by demanding customers and develop new products that expand the applications and customers those capabilities can serve,” said Menny Shalom, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of T3 Defense. “TOPS-NX Studio and SILOS are designed to give existing customers additional capabilities while creating new entry points with U.S. and allied defense organizations and their integration partners. This launch supports our strategy to broaden the geographic reach and customer base of our portfolio companies.”
Expanding Toward the U.S. and Allied Training Market
Tiltan’s participation at I/ITSEC is part of a deliberate effort to broaden its commercial footprint from an Israel-centered customer base toward U.S. and allied defense simulation & training markets. The United States is the world’s largest buyer of military simulation and training systems, and I/ITSEC concentrates the requirement owners, prime contractors and integrators that serve that demand in a single venue.
T3 Defense believes the same simulation, synthetic data and geospatial capabilities Tiltan has delivered to the Israeli defense establishment and Tier-1 defense contractors, including for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) training and next-generation electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor development, are directly transferable to U.S. and allied programs.
“I/ITSEC is where the training and simulation community sets its direction for the coming year, and it is the right place to introduce TOPS-NX Studio and SILOS,” said Ehud Shafir, Chief Executive Officer of Tiltan. “Our customers have told us they want to build and scale their own synthetic environments on our engine. TOPS-NX Studio puts that capability in their hands, and SILOS lets them run it at the scale of a real exercise. Together they turn a validated engine into a platform our customers can grow with.”
