Florida-based 3D virtual operations centre platform Immersive Wisdom announced on Monday it had briefed Hon Christine Wormuth, Secretary of the US Army on successes with its software platform at the US Army’s Project Convergence 2021.
Immersive Wisdom partnered with the US Army’s Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technology Office (RCCTO) for the event, which took place in Yuma, Arizona from October 12 to November 10.
Brian Behling, Vice President of Government, said Secretary Wormuth had taken the “time to dig in” to ask key questions on the need for such capabilities for future military forces.
Explaining further, he said,
“Our amazing RCCTO partners were able to brief the Secretary on how Immersive Wisdom can have an immediate and broad impact on Army distributed operations. We cannot afford to build big physical ops centers everywhere we want to have a presence, and Immersive Wisdom answers that call.”
According to the company, its platform allows users to create virtual 3D operation centres from physical ones to plan and command missions in low-bandwidth environments from any location in the world.
Immersive Wisdom also holds contracts with top divisions of the US military, including the Air Force and Army, as well additional work with the Department of Defense (DoD).
Denver Coulson, Immersive Wisdom’s Chief Technology Officer, added his firm proved its ability to operate on US Army secure networks, connect to their data structures, and organise separate groups using the same global infrastructure to “connect to the same Immersive Wisdom Ops Center.”
He concluded,
“Immersive Wisdom gives the Army critical advantage by being able to bridge the gap between distributed users, missions, and battle networks, worldwide and in real time”
The news comes after the US Army and US Air Force adopted multiple XR solutions for training and developing military personnel, namely after King Crow Studios, Moth+Flame, BISim and SimiGon were awarded contracts for virtual field simulation as well as sexual assault prevention training.
The US National Spectrum Consortium also inked a $31.3 million USD agreement with Cole Engineering Services (CESI) to develop VR/AR 5G networks at the US Army at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) in Washington, aligning with the US DoD’s 5G Strategy Implementation Plan, allowing military branches to significantly upscale their XR infrastructure and deployment capabilities.
