Virtuix Integrates Omni One into U.S. Marine Corps FARP Training Simulator

Partnership with Vigilante Adds Full-Body Movement to Mission-Critical Military Training

Integration Builds on Virtuix’s Expanding Defense Momentum Across U.S. Marine Corps, Army, Air Force, and Navy

AUSTIN, Texas, April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Virtuix Inc. (NASDAQ: VTIX), a leading developer of full-body virtual reality (VR) systems, today announced that its Omni One platform has been integrated into a Forward Arming and Refueling Point (FARP) training simulator developed by Vigilante, a U.S.-based company focused on advanced military training solutions. The system was developed for evaluation by the U.S. Marine Corps Training and Education Command (TECOM).

FARP training prepares specialized Marine Corps personnel to rapidly refuel and rearm aircraft in austere, forward, or contested environments. These operations are often conducted under high pressure and in challenging conditions, including nighttime missions, protective gear, and the rapid setup and teardown of fuel systems.

The integration brings natural, full-body movement into FARP training, enabling warfighters to physically walk, maneuver, and operate within a virtual environment. By combining Virtuix’s omni-directional treadmill technology with Defense Sim Pro, Vigilante's simulation development platform, the system enhances realism and immersion for mission-critical training scenarios.

“By incorporating Virtuix’s Omni One into our FARP trainer, we are delivering a new level of immersive training,” said Chris Torchia, Chief Executive Officer at Vigilante. “The addition of physical locomotion allows trainees to build muscle memory and spatial awareness, improving readiness and operational effectiveness compared to traditional screen-based simulations.”

The partnership with Vigilante builds on Virtuix’s expanding presence in the defense training market, including the Company’s recently announced delivery of Omni One to the U.S. Marine Corps TECOM in March for warfighter training and mission planning. Virtuix has also delivered systems to the U.S. Army and Air Force and recently announced a development agreement with the U.S. Navy, underscoring Omni One’s growing applicability across multiple military branches and a broad range of defense training use cases.
