Miami – Miami welcomes another technology company to the sunny beaches. Its mission is to revolutionize what has been commonplace in the military for decades.
“Red 6” Use augmented reality technology to train fighter pilots in extreme and dynamic conditions. This technology creates a virtual world in the sky, allowing you to see virtual enemies and other obstacles that need to be overcome.
“I think the Army Metaverse will be very important to the future of how we train and operate,” said Red 6 Daniel Robinson’s founder and CEO.
The company created a program called Aerial Tactical Augmented Reality System (ATARS)..
Unlike virtual reality, where the environment around you is completely crafted, this instead overlays virtual images and layouts on what is actually physically seen. The constructed image can be controlled by artificial intelligence or someone remote.

What was done with multiple pilots, multiple aircraft, and large sums of money can now be accomplished with just one pilot in the air.
The fusion of technology and military training is not a completely new concept, as it already exists in some capabilities.
For example, the U.S. military and Microsoft Announced in 2021 Manufacture of augmented reality headsets for training soldiers.Not only the U.S. Air Force Use virtual reality To train pilots, and the U.S. Navy saidProject avenger”A pilot training program using similar technology and personalized educational technology.

“The question is how can we do that efficiently. My claim is that if you can put your enemies in the real world, you can better train them at a small cost by simulating them. That was exactly what we did, “Robinson said.
Robinson was a former fighter pilot who watched movies such as Superman, Star Wars, and Top Gun, and was encouraged to reach out to the sky at an early age.
He flew with the British Air Force in the United Kingdom and was subsequently selected for an exchange tour to the US Air Force, flying a US F-22 Raptor stealth fighter. This is the first non-US fighter pilot.
Robinson says these years of experience have given him insight into what he’s been trying to do since launching the Red 6 in 2018.
“It’s important to understand that it’s at the core of what we think about future training and combat. Technology is one of its key pillars and solves a truly important national security crisis. Adopting technology to do this is a kind of angle that drives us, “Robinson said.

It helps the United States catch up with what Robinson describes as a technical arms race – facing the re-emergence of Russia and the rise of China on the world stage.
Armed with a recent contract Robinson is in a position to grow from the Air Force, worth up to $ 70 million, to continue developing this technology and ultimately strengthen what it considers to be important to the country’s future. I feel that.
“There is evil in the world, right? There is basic good and evil. If our soldiers, sailors, and airmen are called to protect this country and other nations, I am overwhelmingly deadly. No one wants to ruin the United States because it’s reliable, “Robinson said.
After moving from California, the company is now in Miami and the office is planned somewhere in the downtown area.

Red 6 also plans to open a technology hub in Orlando. Robinson cites the city’s academic institutions and innovation as a powerful companion to Miami’s culture and vibrancy.
Robinson believes the future is bright, and the sunshine conditions are the place for Red 6’s future success.
“Looking back, I had the special privilege to live the life I led. It was as challenging as anyone else, but I’m in this section now. I’m aware of it and working with a real purpose. The people I really love and the problems I really care about, “Robinson said.
As the company’s full transition to Florida continues, Robinson said he is still considering a location to determine where to operate the flight.
No clear date is given as to when and where these flights will begin, but he says there’s more to come.
