The CRADA builds on Virtuix's increasing traction across the U.S. defense ecosystem, including engagements with the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Marine Corps, with deployments at West Point, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and Yokota Air Base.

The collaboration further strengthens Virtuix's positioning as a next-generation provider of simulation technologies designed to support combat readiness, training efficiency, and human performance optimization.
