Our primary technology, supporting our ATARS product, enables pilots to simulate the cognitive challenges of flying while accessing realistic, scalable training in dynamic outdoor environments. **SENIOR ELECTRICAL ENGINEER** **Designing next-gen gaming for fighter pilots. Except the jet is real, the G's are real, and the mission is real.** Red 6 is a startup doing something that's never been done: bringing fully immersive 3D synthetic worlds into real aircraft in real flight. Pilots see the actual sky around them, with realistic adversaries, wingmen, terrain, and tankers layered into their view in real time. It replaces decades-old training methods that depend on costly live aircraft or ground simulators. Warfighters get more realistic, repeatable training at a fraction of the cost, and they show up to the fight better prepared.
