AUSTIN, Texas, July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Virtuix Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: VTIX), a leading developer of AI-driven immersive simulation technology, today announced the deployment of its first Omni One system with the Air National Guard, further expanding the Company’s growing presence across the U.S. defense market. The deployment represents another milestone in Virtuix’s accelerating defense business, as military organizations continue to adopt next-generation immersive technologies for training and simulation.

The system was purchased by an Air National Guard unit based in Horsham, Pennsylvania, where it will be used for experimentation and evaluation of immersive, AI-driven virtual reality for military training. The unit plans to explore how Omni One can enhance warfighter readiness through realistic movement-based simulation and immersive training scenarios.

“The adoption of Omni One by the Air National Guard further validates the growing demand for our immersive training technology across every branch of the U.S. military,” said Jan Goetgeluk, CEO of Virtuix. “Over the past several months, we’ve established significant traction throughout the defense sector, including with the U.S. Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, Army, and now the Air National Guard. We believe full-body virtual reality, spatial computing, and AI-enabled simulation will become foundational technologies for military training and readiness, and we’re excited to continue expanding our footprint across the defense market.”

The Air National Guard deployment follows a series of recent defense announcements from Virtuix, including:

  • Selection by the U.S. Air Force for a Phase I AFWERX SBIR award to develop the company’s AI-powered Virtual Terrain Walk platform for immersive mission planning and leader rehearsals;
  • Assignment to be the lead systems integrator for a virtual reality infantry training project with the U.S. Marine Corps Training and Education Command (TECOM);
  • A development agreement with the U.S. Navy to evaluate immersive military training capabilities; and
  • Continued deployments of Omni systems with the U.S. Army and Air Force, including sales to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

With each successive deployment, Virtuix continues to build a broader portfolio of defense relationships spanning mission planning and rehearsal. The Company believes these initiatives strengthen its position within one of the fastest-growing segments of the immersive technology market.

Building on this momentum, Virtuix continues to pursue strategic opportunities to expand its defense business. In addition to growing organically through government contracts and military deployments, the company is actively reviewing several acquisition opportunities in the defense training and simulation sector, focusing on companies with annual revenues between $10 million and $50 million that can accelerate Virtuix’s market penetration and access to government contract vehicles.
