WASHINGTON, Sept. 21,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The future of advanced fighter
pilot training is leaping into the virtual world as Boeing (NYSE:
BA) and augmented reality developer Red 6 announced they are
collaborating to develop leading edge aerial dogfighting technology
and training in advanced tactical aircraft. Boeing is the first
company to team with Red 6 on this type of advanced training
technology.
The joint agreement sets the stage for future integration of Red
6's Advanced Tactical Augmented Reality System (ATARS), and
Augmented Reality Command and Analytic Data Environment (ARCADE)
into Boeing manufactured next-generation aircraft. The T-7 and
F-15EX platforms could be among the first to receive ATARS and
ARCADE.
Using the system, pilots will be able to see and interact with
augmented reality aircraft, targets, and threats on the ground or
in the air while flying and training in their actual aircraft,
reducing the cost of and need for multiple platforms and 'real
world training exercises.'
"We continue to revolutionize the way we train and fight. Red
6's Augmented Reality system with the pathfinding T-7 and the
F-15EX represents another transformational leap in capability. This
agreement is the latest example of Boeing's commitment to investing
in technology and our drive to lead innovation in the aerospace and
defense sectors," said Dan Gillian,
Vice President, and General Manager of U.S. Government Services for
Boeing Global Services.
According to Red 6, ATARS enables a multitude of tactical
training scenarios delivered through augmented reality. These
include air combat maneuvers, refueling, tactical formation and
surface-to-air weapon engagements. ARCADE increases the efficiency
of mission planning, briefing, and debriefing through real-time 3D
visualizations to construct and re-construct sorties.
"Readiness and lethality are critical if our warfighters are to
prevail against peer adversaries. Boeing's next-generation
platforms will be the first aircraft in the world that are capable
of entering our augmented reality training environment. Together,
we will deliver a paradigm shift in the quality, quantity, and cost
of training future pilots," said Daniel
Robinson, Founder and CEO of Red 6.
As a leading global aerospace company, Boeing develops,
manufactures, and services commercial airplanes, defense products
and space systems for customers in more than 150 countries. As a

Red 6, founded in 2018, is the creator of Airborne Tactical
Augmented Reality System (ATARS), Combined Augmented Reality
Battlespace Operational Network (CARBON), and Augmented Reality
Command and Analytic Data Environment (ARCADE). Red 6 systems are
the first wide field-of-view, full color demonstrably proven
outdoor augmented reality solution that operate in dynamic outdoor
environments. Together, they bring virtual and constructive assets
into the real-world by allowing pilots and ground operators to see
synthetic threats in real-time, outdoors, and critically, in
high-speed environments.
