The advanced fighter pilot training for defence pilots is about to take a big stride into the virtual world as Boeing and Red 6, the augmented reality developer, announced a joint partnership to develop leading-edge aerial dogfighting technology and training in advanced tactical aircraft. Boeing, the world’s biggest aircraft manufacturer is the first company to team with Red 6 on the virtual augmented reality type of advanced training technology.
With the new joint agreement, Boeing and Red 6 aim to set 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 fighter jets to receive ATARS and ARCADE.
