Augmented reality air combat training platform for military simulation
Red 6 builds outdoor-capable AR systems for synthetic air combat training, deployed in defense contexts. The tech stack reveals a hardware-first company: heavy CAD/CAM tooling (Solidworks, CREO, Windchill, ANSYS), manufacturing design patterns (DFM/DFA, NPI processes), and aerospace-grade compliance infrastructure (IBM DOORS, SysML, Jama Connect). Active projects show a shift toward AI-augmented workflows—LLM-enabled backends, copilot systems, and scenario planning platforms—layered atop a core aerospace manufacturing operation scaling complex assemblies.
Red 6, founded in 2018 and headquartered in Orlando, Florida, develops augmented reality technology for military training applications. The company operates across two axes: hardware manufacturing of AR devices for air combat simulation, and software platforms for scenario planning, telemetry visualization, and post-flight debriefing. With 51–200 employees and 17 active roles concentrated in engineering (11) and manufacturing (2), the company is in active growth mode. Current challenges include scaling production of complex aerospace assemblies, managing contract manufacturer relationships, migrating legacy inventory systems, and ensuring compliance with Department of Defense standards.
Red 6 uses CAD/CAM tools (Solidworks, CREO, Windchill, ANSYS Workbench, Zemax), design compliance (IBM DOORS, SysML, Jama Connect), testing frameworks (Cypress, Selenium, Pytest, TestComplete, Playwright), and CI/CD (Jenkins, GitLab, Jira). Hardware interfaces include PCIe 3.0/4.0, DDR3/DDR4, DisplayPort, USB 3.0.
Red 6 is developing LLM-enabled backend capabilities, scenario planning and debriefing platforms, real-time telemetry dashboards, PLM system integration, and manufacturing processes for complex aerospace products, alongside capacity planning initiatives to scale production.
