VTIX to Demo AI Counter-Drone Training System to U.S. Army at Maneuver Warfighter Conference
Virtuix (VTIX) will showcase its AI-enabled Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS) Personnel Trainer, built with LeadTech and integrating the Omni One omni-directional treadmill, to U.S. Army and Joint leaders at the Maneuver Warfighter Conference Sept. 15-17. The simulator uses full-body movement and digital-twin ranges for realistic counter-drone marksmanship training and the company says the system is under evaluation by USMC TECOM and supported by recent AFWERX SBIR Phase I funding and other programs across all four U.S. military branches, though no procurement dollars or firm contracts were disclosed.
VTIX: Omni One orders surge after Meta launch; margins improve but losses widen
Virtuix (VTIX) reported Q1 FY2027 results showing new Omni One orders up 72% year-over-year and ~150% since the Omni One for Quest Meta launch, while net sales fell to $0.8M as prior preorder backlog completed; gross profit rose 29% and gross margin expanded to 30% (cash $7.4M). Net loss widened to $7.2M (Adjusted EBITDA −$3.1M) driven by an 86% rise in operating expenses and $2.5M of non-cash interest/amortization, though management highlighted defense and enterprise traction including a USMC pilot delivery, Air National Guard deployment, AFWERX SBIR award, a sale to Tesla’s Optimus program, NASA selection, and a partnership with Sirica Therapeutics.

VTIX picks AVRT for weapons tracking on USMC Infantry VR trainer; Q4 delivery planned
Virtuix (VTIX) selected AVRT to provide mission-ready weapons tracking and instructor/content tools for its U.S. Marine Corps Infantry Fireteam Virtual Trainer (IFVT), integrating AVRT’s tracked M4 surrogates with Virtuix’s Omni One locomotion and Meta Quest headsets for four-Marine immersive training.

Virtuix's Omni One picked for NASA Moon & Mars analog mission
Virtuix (VTIX) said NASA selected its Omni One omnidirectional treadmill for the Moon and Mars Exploration Analog (MMEA), a year‐long habitat simulation that will use the treadmill during simulated extravehicular activities so crew can walk, kneel, turn and navigate virtual Martian terrain. The pick reinforces Virtuix's traction in government and defense after recent DoD projects, could support future contract revenue as the MMEA begins next year at Johnson Space Center, and the company says it is also pursuing strategic acquisitions to accelerate its defense training footprint.

VTIX wins AFWERX SBIR Phase I to build AI-powered VR mission-planning platform
Virtuix (VTIX) was selected by the U.S. Air Force for Phase I AFWERX SBIR funding to advance its Virtual Terrain Walk (VTW) — an AI-driven, geo-specific VR system pairing Omni One omni-directional treadmills with 3D terrain reconstruction to let teams of 12+ warfighters physically walk and rehearse terrain for mission planning. The company says the Phase I award creates a pathway to Phase II awards (typically >$1M) and larger Phase III sole-source government contract opportunities, supporting its broader defense-market traction. The Phase I selection is preliminary (amount not disclosed) and follow-on funding and contracts are not guaranteed, so near-term commercial impact is uncertain.
