JFJ Aviation & Defence GmbH is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Czech-US technology company Vrgineers to co-develop an unrestricted version of a 5th Generation Fighter Simulator, setting a new benchmark in immersive pilot training and defense simulation.
The simulator cockpit will feature Vrgineers’ proprietary electronics and will be fully integrated with the Somnium VR1 and XTAL CAVU mixed-reality systems. This cutting-edge setup will support advanced pilot simulation, mission rehearsal, and technology demonstration in a fully immersive environment.
This marks the first direct collaboration between JFJ and Vrgineers, combining their respective strengths to deliver affordable, high-fidelity simulation solutions to defense and aerospace customers. The partnership aims to accelerate innovation by leveraging shared expertise in cockpit design, mixed-reality integration, and simulation hardware.

“We are excited to collaborate with Vrgineers on this innovative training setup,” said Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Johann Schwandtner, Managing Director of JFJ Aviation & Defence GmbH. “This cockpit is part of our expanding portfolio of custom-built enclosures designed to meet the evolving demands of simulation platforms across NATO and allied countries.”
The project reflects both companies’ commitment to modernizing the simulation market, which has long relied on legacy technologies such as flat screens and basic projection systems. By introducing unrestricted mixed-reality capabilities, the simulator will offer pilots a more realistic and responsive training experience.
“This partnership brings together two highly experienced teams that complement each other in remarkable ways,” said Marek Polčák, CEO of Vrgineers. “We are looking forward to unveiling this and other next-generation simulators that will emerge from our joint efforts.”
