Intelligent. Autonomous. Lethal.
A multi-layered AI system operating at 3 decision frequencies — from strategic campaign management down to individual missile shots at 60 Hz — fully synchronized with DCS World in real-time.
Inspired by real military command structures — IASER mirrors the strategic, operational, and tactical decision levels of modern armed forces, each running at its own dedicated frequency.
Campaign-level decision making. Manages objectives, resource allocation and threat assessment across the entire battlefield.

IASER's campaign engine transitions through six distinct phases, automatically adapting strategy based on battlefield outcomes.
State loading, unit validation, AI warm-up
Initial phase — balanced engagements
Reinforcements, expanded zones, new weapons
Decisive engagements or fallback to DEFENSIVE
Tactical pause — negotiations
Campaign conclusion, results saved
IASER extends seamlessly into the WWII era. Switch coalition, swap SAM networks for Flak batteries, and deploy the full Eagle Dynamics WWII asset catalog.

Channel / Southern England
Summer 1940 — Luftwaffe offensive against RAF airfields and radar stations. Spitfire Mk IX and Hurricane vs Bf 109 / Bf 110.
Normandy, France
June–August 1944 — D-Day landings through the Falaise pocket. Full combined-arms AI including naval fire support.
Ardennes, Belgium
December 1944 — German winter offensive. Difficult weather conditions with limited ISR and degraded air operations.
IASER exposes clean C++ interfaces and Lua export hooks for full integration with DCS World scripting and external tools.
