Red 6 Tech Stack

Outdoor augmented reality systems for synthetic air combat training

Defense and Space Manufacturing Orlando, Florida 51–200 employees Founded 2018 Privately Held

Red 6 builds outdoor augmented reality hardware and software for synthetic air combat training, centered on its ATARS platform. The stack is unusually hardware-deep for an AR company: FPGAs on Xilinx/AMD, Altium board design, Zemax optics, MIL-STD-1553 avionics buses and IBM DOORS requirements tracing, which signals avionics-grade, DO-178-bound development. Hiring is accelerating and skews toward principal and director-level engineering as the company moves toward a production ramp.
