SNC, a trusted global leader in aerospace and national security, and Red 6, a hardware-enabled software company revolutionizing military flight training, announced a long-term strategic partnership to develop advanced training and operational capabilities for U.S. military aviation. As a first step in this relationship, SNC will support Red 6 as a subcontractor on their $30 million multi-MAJCOM Strategic Funding Increase (STRATFI) contract with the United States Air Force, developing comprehensive airworthiness testing and evaluation plans that will enable ATARS integration and drastically enhance pilot training experiences – making it more efficient, more effective, and more easily repeatable.
The partnership combines SNC’s six decades of experience as a disruptive defense technology innovator with Red 6’s groundbreaking Advanced Tactical Augmented Reality System (ATARS) platform that creates realistic synthetic flight training experiences delivered outdoors. By working with one of the world’s premier aerospace integrators, Red 6 ensures mission success through SNC’s unmatched expertise in rapidly integrating mission-critical systems.
“Red 6‘s revolutionary outdoor synthetic training technology represents exactly the kind of innovative thinking needed to transform military flight training,” said Ray Fitzgerald, SVP of Strategy at SNC. “Their ATARS platform’s ability to create threat-relevant training scenarios will fundamentally enhance how we prepare our aircrews for operational challenges. This STRATFI collaboration is just the beginning of what we envision as a transformative long-term partnership that will deliver enormous cost savings and significant environmental benefits.”

“We’re incredibly excited about this long-term strategic partnership with SNC,” said Daniel Robinson, Co-founder and CEO of Red 6. “Their unparalleled expertise and unique position as a proven systems integrator make them exactly the kind of partner we need to maximize this engagement. But the STRATFI contract is just the beginning – together, we’re building something much bigger that will fundamentally change how the military approaches synthetic training across multiple platforms.”
