BAE Systems will collaborate with Red 6 to explore the integration of the Advanced Tactical Augmented Reality Systems (ATARS) onto the Hawk fast jet trainer aircraft. This will enable pilots to identify, engage and defeat virtual threats and co-operate with virtual wingmen whilst airborne. BAE Systems has signed a memorandum of understanding with Red 6. The collaboration will explore ways to combine BAE Systems' experience in delivering training to military forces alongside its expertise in helmet-mounted displays with Red 6's breakthrough ATARS technology.

The companies announced they will be working together at I/ITSEC 2022, in Orlando, Florida. Working with Red 6 takes this capability a step further for the pilots of tomorrow, by bringing constructed adversaries, wingmen and surface threats into the training space at a fraction of the cost and emissions of the live equivalent.
