Revolutionary Flight Training Technology Takes to the Skies
The world of military aviation has just witnessed a groundbreaking achievement with the successful integration of an augmented reality flight training system on a rotorcraft platform. This progressive technology, often called Advanced Tactical Augmented Reality Systems (ATARS), has been integrated with Boeing’s AH-64E Apache Crewstation Advanced Technology Testbed (CATT).
What is ATARS?
ATARS is a cutting-edge platform that transforms traditional flight training by overlaying realistic, threat-representative scenarios onto the true world. This allows pilots to coach against near-peer adversaries in contested environments without the prices, risks, and logistical constraints of traditional live training exercises. The ATARS platform records flight data, constructing datasets that enable the military to measure readiness objectively and accurately through advanced data integration capabilities.
A New Era in Military Aviation Training
The integration of ATARS with the Apache marks a big milestone, not only as the primary collaboration with a rotorcraft platform but in addition as the primary potential partnership with a U.S. Army platform. This collaboration demonstrates the flexibility and strategic value of augmented reality training across all domains of military aviation. According to Daniel Robinson, CEO and Co-founder of Red 6, "This collaboration demonstrates the flexibility and strategic value of augmented reality training across all domains of military aviation."
Benefits of ATARS
The integration of ATARS with the Apache enables pilots to experience threat-relevant, near-peer level training scenarios at speed and scale. This reasonably priced solution increases safety, eases airspace limitations, and enables next-generation collaborative combat aircraft (CCA) training. The ATARS platform provides a variety of advantages, including:
- Increased safety
- Reduced costs
- Enhanced training effectiveness
- Improved data evaluation and readiness assessment
A Partnership for Innovation
The collaboration between Red 6 and Boeing marks a brand new chapter in the event of progressive training technologies for military aviation. As Kathleen "KJ" Jolivette, vp and general manager of Boeing’s Vertical Lift division, stated, "Augmented reality technologies similar to ATARS open up latest opportunities to organize military aviators for complex threat environments they face today and can encounter in the long run."
