Omni One Integrated into Counter-UAS Personnel Trainer for U.S. Marine Corps Evaluation at Quantico, Virginia

Counter-Drone Training Is Becoming One of the Fastest Growing Priorities of Western Militaries

Latest Defense Milestone Builds on Virtuix’s Growing Adoption Across All Major Branches of the U.S. Military

Virtuix Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: VTIX), a leading developer of AI-driven, full-body simulation systems, today announced that its Omni One movement platform has been integrated into LeadTech’s next-generation Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS) Personnel Trainer, an AI-enabled counter-drone simulation platform designed to prepare warfighters to detect and defeat hostile drones through realistic marksmanship training with full-body movement.

Virtuix and LeadTech will install the simulation system at the Training and Education Command (TECOM) of the United States Marine Corps at Quantico, Virginia, where teams from the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms and Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton will evaluate the platform for future training applications. Watch a demo video of the system here: https://youtu.be/DXHdwFoUC-Q.

The counter-drone simulation builds on Virtuix’s accelerating momentum across the defense sector with all four major branches of the U.S. military. Recent milestones include Virtuix’s assignment as the lead integrator for a U.S. Marine Corps virtual fireteam trainer, an Air Force SBIR Phase I award, a development agreement with the U.S. Navy, deployments to the U.S. Army and Air National Guard, integration into advanced Forward Arming and Refueling Point (FARP) training, and ongoing collaborations supporting military mission planning and simulation.

Virtuix was also recently recognized with a second consecutive AWE Auggie Award for Best Interaction Product, underscoring the industry’s recognition of Omni One as the leading movement platform for immersive full-body interaction across defense, robotics, and enterprise applications.

“The rapid proliferation of drones has fundamentally changed the battlefield, creating an urgent need for realistic and scalable counter-UAS training,” said Jan Goetgeluk, Founder and CEO of Virtuix. “Our AI-driven Omni One platform enables warfighters to move naturally through complex virtual environments while maintaining full situational awareness, creating a level of immersion that is difficult to achieve with stationary virtual training systems. This collaboration with LeadTech is another example of the strong momentum Virtuix is building across the defense sector, where our technology is being adopted for increasingly sophisticated military training applications.”

Counter-UAS capabilities have become a critical priority for militaries seeking to protect personnel and critical infrastructure from evolving aerial threats. As drones continue to advance in capability and affordability, military organizations are placing greater emphasis on immersive simulation that enables warfighters to train repeatedly in highly realistic operational environments before entering costly live-fire exercises.

The C-UAS simulator recreates real-world military training ranges as highly accurate digital twins, allowing warfighters to train in virtual environments that closely mirror the locations where they will later conduct live-fire exercises. Initial environments include the Marine Corps’ Little Baghdad urban training complex at Twentynine Palms, with additional virtual ranges planned for Quantico, Fort Benning, and other training locations. By faithfully reproducing terrain, buildings, and engagement scenarios, the platform is designed to maximize the transfer of skills from virtual training to live operations.

Using Omni One, trainees are able to move naturally through these environments without the constraints of traditional virtual training systems. During exercises, users move from building to building, navigate streets and corners, communicate over simulated tactical radios, and engage hostile first-person-view (FPV) drones using realistic ballistics, environmental effects, and tactical decision-making. The system supports both individual and multi-user training, enabling squads to rehearse coordinated counter-drone operations before deploying to live ranges.

“Counter-drone engagements are inherently movement-intensive,” said Chip Northrup, Chief Executive Officer of LeadTech. “Warfighters don’t fight while standing in one place. They move through buildings, around corners, communicate with teammates, and continuously reposition while tracking fast-moving aerial threats. We teach correct angular lead on aerial targets, but we emphasize the need for the team to conceal its position and take cover proactively. Integrating Omni One into our C-UAS Personnel Trainer allows trainees to practice these movements naturally, creating a far more realistic and effective training experience than conventional virtual reality systems.”

Virtuix believes natural movement will become an increasingly important component of next-generation military simulation as armed forces seek to improve training realism while reducing cost, expanding access, and accelerating warfighter readiness. By combining unrestricted full-body locomotion with AI-driven, immersive environment simulation, Omni One enables military personnel to train the way they fight, moving naturally through the environments where future missions will take place.
