Fully Featured Trajectory Optimization Software

QuickShot™ is a trajectory optimization application that can solve your most challenging simulation problems, from launch and hypersonic systems to re-entry vehicles and lunar landers.
The product of almost a decade of development, QuickShot™ is used by customers in both the government and private sectors. It utilizes the latest in multi-threaded computing techniques and stochastic optimization routines, enabling less time setting up problems and more time solving them. Our latest version introduces sensor modeling, branching trajectories, advanced propulsion system modeling, and more.

Complete QuickShot Suite

QuickShot Suite tools are designed to work together in an end-to-end engineering workflow.
Insight, 4DoF, and Branching are available as separate add-ons to the Core module.
