About uS
Company
Driven by a personal passion to solve an acutely defined pain point for US and allied forces across the globe, Red 6 is revolutionizing augmented reality (AR) for military training applications. Live, Virtual and Constructive (LVC) represents the future of how allied forces will train. Currently, however, it is only a 50% solution. Why? Because it only works in the Beyond Visual Range (BVR) environment. Until now, there has been no means by which Virtual and Constructive assets can be visually represented in the real world.
Airborne Tactical Augmented Reality System (ATARS) represents this critical missing piece of the jigsaw. Red 6 brings the Virtual and Constructive assets into the real-world by allowing pilots and ground operators to see synthetic threats in real-time, outdoors and, critically, in high-speed environments. By blending augmented reality and artificial intelligence and using both the indoor AND outdoor space around us as a medium, Red 6 has redefined the limits of how the world will experience, share, and interact with its information. This solution to a significant and compelling military use case provides the right pathway to a much broader, ubiquitous AR future and with it, the inevitable consumer market.

Our PARTNERS
Moonshots Capital is a seed-stage venture capital firm that invests in extraordinary leadership. Great leaders are hard to come by. We believe the best ones are military-trained or trial-by-fire entrepreneurs who have the ability to motivate others to action, inspire trust, and plan heuristically. We invest with conviction when those attributes are present.
Capital Factory is the center of gravity for entrepreneurs in Texas, the number one startup state in the U.S. Last year more than 100,000 entrepreneurs, programmers and designers gathered day and night, in-person and online for meetups, classes and coworking. We meet the best entrepreneurs in Texas and introduce them to their first investors, employees, mentors and customers. According to Pitchbook, Capital Factory has been the most active investor in Texas since 2013
Established in 2017 by the Secretary of the Air Force and reporting to the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force, AFWERX is a catalyst for agile Air Force engagement across industry, academia and non-traditional contributors to create transformative opportunities and foster an Air Force culture of innovation. The ultimate aim is to solve problems and enhance the effectiveness of the Air Force.
