The system is designed to support collaborative mission planning, terrain familiarization, and tactical decision-making for distributed teams of 12+ warfighters.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Unlike traditional mission planning tools that rely on static maps and screens, VTW enables soldiers to physically walk, run, and maneuver together in 360 degrees inside immersive virtual environments. The system uses AI-driven 3D reconstruction to convert camera footage of real-world locations into photorealistic virtual replicas within hours. Thanks to Omni One omni-directional treadmills, warfighters can then physically move around inside those environments without boundaries.

Warfighters can now get familiar with the battlefield before putting boots on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Virtuix\u2019s proprietary locomotion technology is protected by an expanding intellectual property portfolio that includes 26 U.S. patents, with additional patents pending. The company believes immersive, movement-based mission planning and rehearsal represents a rapidly emerging category within the broader defense simulation market, particularly as military organizations globally are increasingly investing in AI-enabled simulation, spatial computing, and immersive training technologies designed to improve readiness while reducing training costs and operational risk.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cThis award validates the growing demand for our AI-enabled immersive training technology across the defense sector,\u201d said Jan Goetgeluk, CEO of Virtuix. \u201cWe believe spatial computing, AI-driven terrain reconstruction, and full-body immersion represent the next generation of military simulation. This Phase I award provides a pathway to Phase II funding that typically exceeds $1 million and larger Phase III opportunities including sole-source government contracts without pre-defined limits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The SBIR selection builds on growing momentum for Virtuix in the defense market. The company recently announced deployments and partnerships across the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, including sales to the U.S. Air Force Academy and West Point, and leading the development a VR infantry training system for the U.S. Marine Corps Training and Education Command (TECOM). Virtuix also recently announced plans to pursue strategic acquisitions in the defense training sector to further accelerate its expansion across all branches of the U.S. military and abroad.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Virtuix<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Virtuix Inc.
