Red 6
Headquartered in Orlando, Florida, Red 6 is a pioneering augmented reality (AR) company revolutionizing military training through its Advanced Tactical Augmented Reality System (ATARS). Founded in 2018 by former fighter pilot Daniel Robinson, Red 6 integrates AR and artificial intelligence to create dynamic, real-time training environments for military pilots. Their technology allows pilots to engage with synthetic threats during actual flight, enhancing readiness and proficiency.
Red 6's innovative solutions have garnered significant support, including a $70 million contract from the U.S. Air Force to commercialize their AR platform for combat pilot training. The company has also secured substantial investments, with a $70 million Series B funding round led by RedBird Capital Partners, and participation from Lockheed Martin Ventures and Boeing's venture capital arm, HorizonX.
By seamlessly blending the physical and synthetic worlds, Red 6 is setting new standards in military training, providing pilots with unparalleled opportunities to hone their skills in safe yet realistic environments.
