Since 1989, Ternion Corporation has worked to satisfy the growing need for more robust and less expensive constructive simulations by providing quality commercial simulation products and services. Ternion provides the world's only commercially available, open-architecture constructive simulation framework, FLAMES® (FLexible Analysis Modeling and Exercise System).

The founders of the corporation, backed by years of experience developing simulation products for the United States government, realized that no fixed simulation could satisfy even a fraction of existing and future simulation requirements. As a solution, FLAMES provides the infrastructure and core services required by almost any type of simulation while giving users complete control over all application and system-specific portions of the simulation.

Simulations based on FLAMES can be used for many purposes, including systems and engineering analysis, testing, training, mission planning/rehearsal, and entertainment. They can support scenarios of any size and duration and in any domain (land, sea, air, space). They can support models of any type of system with any level of complexity. They can interface with almost any type of external system, simulation, or simulator. FLAMES includes the source code for a wide variety of example models that can be modified to meet specific needs and allows the simulation community to share custom models with or without releasing source code.

Ternion also offers FLAMES training and custom simulation development services to help customers get the most out of their investment. Whether customers wish to learn how to develop simulations using FLAMES or to have a turn-key simulation developed for them, Ternion’s Engineering Services Division is available to provide any assistance a customer requires.

FLAMES is currently utilized by every branch of the United States armed forces as well as a number of corporations including Raytheon, Smiths Aerospace, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Computer Sciences Corporation. FLAMES is also used around the world by FOI (Swedish Defense Agency), the Republic of China Air Force (Taiwan), BAE Systems, Japan’s Komatsu Ltd, EADS Germany, and other military and corporate entities.
