Revolutionizing training and decision-making with AI-powered, real-time solutions for complex space and military operations
We develop AI-driven training and evaluation systems using immersive 2D and 3D platforms architected around how people perceive, orient, and make decisions - not just what looks good for a demo.
Our systems are built around real environments, soundscapes, and biological interactions, not generic synthetic data.
Space Research and Technology
We design and build immersive training and assessment systems for defense and space applications — combining operational and environmental psychology expertise with extended reality to prepare personnel for the unique cognitive demands of space, cyber, and high-risk aerospace roles. Our VR platforms have been tested and used across all U.S. military service branches, supported DARPA-funded human decision-making research, and informed AI-assisted triage and medical decision support.
We develop the full stack in-house — Unity-built 2D and 3D immersive environments, multi-sensor data capture, custom soundscapes, and AI-driven interactions. For space applications, that includes original wide-field astronomical imagery we capture and produce ourselves, bringing a level of scientific and visual fidelity to space operations training that off-the-shelf solutions simply don't offer.
Warfighter is an active performer on DARPA's $26M "In The Moment" (ITM) program, which is developing AI frameworks for rapid military decision-making in situations with no human consensus and no ground truth. Our role focuses on the psychological and operational fidelity that underlie the scenarios where humans and AI interact. This work directly informs how trust between humans and AI systems is designed, evaluated, and maintained.
Warfighter has developed extended-reality training programs and technology under contract with the United States Space Force.
Defense, Tactical Medicine & Human Factors
The hardest problems in defense and human performance don't stay in one lane — and neither does our research. We work across operational psychology, AI alignment, decision-making, physiological sensing, and immersive simulation, often within the same program. Recent peer-reviewed work includes VR-based mass casualty triage research in Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness, AI decision-making research at the IEEE Conference on Artificial Intelligence, and LLM performance evaluation in medical triage using VR simulation data. We hold patents in non-invasive stress detection and 360-degree astronomical imaging, and have contributed to USSOCOM human-machine teaming concept development across two Innovation Foundry cycles.
