Thank you to Defense Advancement for highlighting ForgeFX’s work helping expand access to critical biological threat detection training for drone pilots.

We're honored to support this U.S. Army initiative to transition our fielded Unmanned Vehicle Tele-Operation Training Simulator into a secure, browser-based training application, making high-fidelity, repeatable CBRN readiness training more accessible to UAS pilots, sensor operators, and mission commanders.

This effort reflects the strength of collaboration across the defense innovation ecosystem. We appreciate the opportunity to work alongside MRIGlobal, Teledyne FLIR, and the CPE for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (CPE CBRND) to help deliver scalable simulation-based training for high-consequence missions.

Thank you to Exposure Report for covering ForgeFX Simulations’ latest U.S. Army subcontract supporting drone-based biological threat detection training.

Exposure Report is an independent publication focused on global news and analysis related to chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive threats, as well as innovation across the CBRNE defense community. Their coverage helps connect technical advances in simulation, detection, and readiness with the broader mission of protecting people from high-consequence threats.

This article highlights our work with MRIGlobal to expand access to a CBRN drone pilot training simulator through a secure, browser-based application delivered via JACKS (Joint Acquisition CBRN Knowledge System) for authorized CBRN personnel. The simulator trains UAS pilots, sensor operators, and mission commanders to remotely operate the Teledyne FLIR R80D Skyraider drone while detecting and collecting airborne biological contamination samples with the MUVE B330 sensor.

For the CBRNE community, this work addresses a critical training challenge: giving operators realistic, repeatable practice on specialized detection and reconnaissance systems without requiring constant access to physical equipment, dedicated workstations, or live-test environments.

We appreciate Exposure Report’s thoughtful coverage of this program and the role simulation-based training can play in strengthening CBRN readiness.

Industrial companies aren’t just facing a workforce shortage. They’re facing a knowledge-transfer challenge. As experienced operators retire, equipment becomes more complex, and safety expectations continue to rise, organizations need better ways to prepare workers for real-world performance.

That’s where spatial computing-based simulation training delivers real value. In our latest article, “Beyond VR: How Spatial Computing Turns Tribal Knowledge Into Digital Workforce Intelligence,” we explore how custom training simulators help companies:

✅ Rehearse high-risk procedures safely
✅ Accelerate workforce onboarding
✅ Capture and scale tribal knowledge
✅ Reduce equipment downtime and costs
✅ Measure trainee performance and readiness
✅ Standardize training across teams, locations, dealers, and customers

The real value of simulation training is not just immersion. It is the ability to transform expert knowledge, complex equipment, and mission-critical procedures into repeatable, measurable, interactive training experiences.

For industrial organizations and OEMs, spatial computing is becoming more than a training tool. It is a competitive advantage: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/beyond-vr-how-spatial-computing-turns-tribal-knowledge-digital-gm78c

Why industrial training simulators are becoming safer, smarter, and more scalable ways to prepare workers for complex equipment, hazardous environments, and mission-critical procedures. Industrial training is facing a new kind of pressure.

In high-stakes industries, the learning curve can be expensive. When operators train on complex equipment, mistakes can mean damaged machinery, wasted materials, production delays, or serious safety risks. But in a simulator, those same mistakes become valuable learning opportunities.

Our latest article explores how simulation-based training helps organizations:

• Let trainees fail safely before operating real equipment
• Make complex or invisible processes easier to understand
• Reduce waste from consumables, equipment downtime, and repeated field training
• Prepare teams for rare, dangerous, or difficult-to-recreate scenarios
• Turn training into a measurable, data-driven process

At ForgeFX, we believe the future of training is not just more immersive. It is safer, smarter, more repeatable, and more effective.
