ATARS is an Advanced Tactical Augmented Reality System on the AH-64E Apache, overlaying virtual threats for near-peer training, recording flight data, and boosting pilot readiness.
Red 6 has taken augmented reality (AR) training to a new territory by integrating its Advanced Tactical Augmented Reality Systems (ATARS) into Boeing’s AH-64E Apache Crewstation Advanced Technology Testbed.
This marks the first-ever integration of an AR flight training system on a rotorcraft, giving army aviators access to next-gen training tools.
ATARS overlays virtual, threat-realistic elements onto the real world, letting pilots train against near-peer adversaries without the cost, risk, or limits of traditional live exercises.
