Boeing Partners Red 6 to Advance Fighter Pilot
Training with Augmented Reality
(29/09/22)
Boeing and augmented
reality developer Red 6 are collaborating on the development of aerial dogfighting technology
to be used for fighter pilot 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.
