Dual Tech Taxonomy 1.0
Immersive Tech
Immersive Tech (IM08)
Immersive Tech uses virtual and augmented realities, advanced simulations, and real-time interactivity to transform how people learn, plan, and collaborate. From VR-based corporate training and AR-guided maintenance in commercial settings to high-fidelity mission rehearsals and mixed-reality situational awareness for defense, these tools reduce real-world risks and streamline complex tasks. By combining AI, sensor data, and intuitive interfaces, immersive systems enhance human performance, drive deeper engagement, and open new frontiers for both economic development and strategic readiness.
Immersive Operations Training (VO18)
Immersive Operations Training (VO18) leverages virtual environments and dynamic feedback loops to accelerate skill development in critical scenarios. By enabling realistic simulations, instant performance analytics, and multi-role exercises, commercial teams fine-tune operational readiness, while defense units practice mission-critical maneuvers with reduced real-world risk.
Information & Analytics
Augmented Systems (AU28)
Augmented Systems (AU28) fuse real-time analytics, sensor data, and wearable AR interfaces to present digital overlays atop the physical world. By offering contextual clues, remote collaboration, and gesture-based controls, they boost commercial productivity and safety, while defense personnel gain immediate situational insights and reduced error in mission-critical operations.
Data & Analytics
Virtual Mission Planning (VP38)
Virtual Mission Planning (VP38) supports space-related operations—launch orchestrations, orbital route plotting, planetary explorations—by providing immersive simulations and data-rich overviews. Commercial operators reduce risk and R&D costs for satellites or deep-space missions, while defense agencies simulate complex, multi-agency tasks with real-time scenario adjustments and collaborative planning.
Space
Aerial Simulations (VA48)
Aerial Simulation (VA48) replicates flight scenarios—such as complex cockpit operations, environmental conditions, or formation exercises—to elevate aviation proficiency. By offering high-fidelity experiences in VR/AR, commercial airlines cut training costs and risks, while defense squadrons coordinate multi-aircraft tactics safely and refine techniques for varied mission profiles.
Air
Ground Simulations (VG58)
Ground Simulations (VG58) model terrestrial tasks—hazard management, logistics, large-scale events—to bolster readiness in complex, changing conditions. By immersing participants in realistic training with dynamic terrain and crowds, commercial entities enhance emergency responses or operational efficacy, while defense units coordinate ground maneuvers and crisis scenarios safely.
Land
Marine Simulations (MI68)
Marine Simulations (MI68) immerse users in realistic maritime operations—docking, navigation, submersible missions, wave modeling—through virtual or mixed realities. By perfecting crew coordination, emergency procedures, and coastal scenario planning, commercial shippers or offshore industries improve safety and efficiency, while defense navies rehearse patrol, amphibious maneuvers, and multi-ship synergy with minimal risk.
