Virtuix integrates Omni One into Marine Corps training simulator
Virtuix Inc. (NASDAQ: VTIX) announced its Omni One platform has been integrated into a Forward Arming and Refueling Point training simulator developed by Vigilante for evaluation by the U.S. Marine Corps Training and Education Command.
The system combines Virtuix's omni-directional treadmill technology with Vigilante's Defense Sim Pro simulation platform to train Marine Corps personnel in rapidly refueling and rearming aircraft in challenging environments. The integration enables trainees to physically walk and maneuver within virtual training scenarios.
"By incorporating Virtuix's Omni One into our FARP trainer, we are delivering a new level of immersive training," said Chris Torchia, Chief Executive Officer at Vigilante. "The addition of physical locomotion allows trainees to build muscle memory and spatial awareness, improving readiness and operational effectiveness compared to traditional screen-based simulations."
FARP training prepares specialized Marine Corps personnel for operations conducted under high pressure in austere, forward, or contested environments, including nighttime missions and rapid setup of fuel systems.
The partnership builds on Virtuix's expanding defense presence. The company delivered Omni One systems to the U.S. Marine Corps TECOM in March for warfighter training and mission planning. Virtuix has also delivered systems to the U.S. Army and Air Force and announced a development agreement with the U.S. Navy.
Vigilante is a U.S.-based defense technology company that has delivered training solutions to multiple military branches including the Marine Corps, Army, Air Force, and Space Force.
