  Red 6 develops outdoor-capable augmented reality systems for synthetic training, notably ATARS (Advanced Tactical Augmented Reality System) and ARCADE (Augmented Reality Command and Analytic Data Environment). ATARS is a multi-node, all-domain AR system that creates a complete outdoor synthetic training environment for multiple users, enabling pilots to experience the cognitive loads of real flight while using scalable simulated training. ARCADE defines, builds, briefs, and debriefs training environments and combines biometrics, flight data, and user inputs to improve post-flight replay and analysis. The company says its technology aims to address U.S. and allied military pilot shortages and reduce the resource burden of training by making preparation quicker, cheaper, safer, and cleaner. Red 6 is led by founder and CEO Daniel Robinson and is based in Orlando, FL. The company intends to use the new funding to continue investing in the proprietary technology that supports ATARS. Red 6 develops the Airborne Tactical Augmented Reality System (ATARS), a wide field-of-view, full-color AR solution proven to work outdoors in dynamic, high-speed environments. ATARS enables pilots and ground operators to see synthetic threats and virtual and constructive assets in real time. The company plans to use the new funding to continue expanding operations and broaden its business reach. Red 6 closed a $30M Series A at a $130M post-money valuation. The company was founded in 2018 by Daniel Robinson, Glenn Snyder and Nick Bicanic and is based in Santa Monica, California. The article does not disclose revenue or user metrics.
