SCALE
SCALE is HAT.tec's mission software suite for airborne operations. It brings together geospatial, sensor and tactical data into a single interface for pilots and operators, enabling coordinated multi-user situational awareness. The platform uses a modular architecture so customers can configure it to specific mission needs, add custom interfaces and expand functionality as requirements evolve. It serves civil, parapublic and defence operators.
Custom Software Solutions
HAT.tec develops bespoke mission software for customers who need capabilities beyond SCALE. Their engineering covers autonomous systems, adaptive assistance, human-system integration, mission management, manned-unmanned teaming and multi-domain operations — all developed up to technology readiness level 6. The approach is modular: configurable AI-driven building blocks adapted to the operator's specific mission context.
Consulting Services
HAT.tec provides specialist consulting for organisations designing human-autonomy teaming systems. Services include mission analysis, concept design and function allocation — determining which tasks should be handled by humans, which by automation, and how the two should interact. This work typically precedes or runs alongside software development engagements.
About
HAT.tec was founded in 2018 in Neubiberg near Munich as a spin-off from the Bundeswehr University Munich and its Institute of Flight Systems. Co-founders Yannick Brand, Fabian Schmitt and Prof. Axel Schulte identified a gap between research in human-autonomy teaming and what industry was actually shipping, and built the company to close it. Both Brand and Schmitt serve as Co-CEOs; the company became EN9100 and ISO 9001 certified in 2020 and was recertified in 2022.
