Diffraqtion develops "quantum camera” for space-based imaging. It reverses the process of deriving an image from photonic data (using AI model) and opens the possibility of collecting images using sensors that don’t require telescope and other heavy components. That just might be the key to shooting down highly maneuverable hypersonic missiles, as envisioned by the White House’s Golden Dome effort. The method proposed by Diffraqtion might lower the cost of the imaging systems on space-based interceptors, or even reduce the number needed to do the job.

RED 6 creates augmented reality simulators for the training of USAF fighter pilots. The company developed Advanced Tactical Augmented Reality System (ATARS) - an immersive AI model of a three-dimensional synthetic world that allows pilots to train under realistic threats. ATARS supports training scenarios corresponding to the threat level at a level close to reality. Its EVE (Enhanced Visual Environment) headset allows you to simulate the visual representation of objects in the open air and at high speeds. RED 6 also creates and organizes data sets that allow the USAF to objectively and accurately measure combat readiness.

Radia is building the world's largest military aircraft, the WindRunner, which has a volume 10 times bigger than in Boeing 777 and the ability to land on unpaved runways. It will be able to carry military radars, satellite systems and other mission-ready cargo. According to the company, the WindRunner will be able to take off and land on a 1,800-meter unpaved runway with its maximum payload. Unlike traditional military development programs (according to Radia's plan) WindRunner will make operational entry 10 years faster than next-generation defense concepts. Its first flight is scheduled for 2030.
