MuSES

MuSES is a high-fidelity EO/IR signature simulation software designed for defense and aerospace applications. It models thermal and radiative behavior across the electromagnetic spectrum—from visible to millimeter wavelengths—using first-principles physics. MuSES enables engineers and scientists to simulate realistic environments, predict sensor-based radiance, and generate synthetic imagery for detection, camouflage, and machine learning training.
