XR Training to prototype next generation maintenance training suite for USMC ACV

XR Training (XRT), an innovator in immersive training solutions for the defense sector, has been awarded an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) to design and deliver a next-generation maintenance training suite prototype for the U.S. Marine Corps’ (USMC) Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV).

This award marks a major advancement in XRT’s expanding role in military training modernization and follows the successful fielding of 81 Wave Warrior ACV Driver Training simulators in 2024, which are now integrated into the ACV training curriculum and operational at locations around the world.

Under this new award, XRT will spearhead the development of the ACV Suite of Training Systems (STS) – a fully integrated digital ecosystem comprised of an Electronic Classroom (EC), Diagnostic Task Trainer (DTT), and Part Task Trainer (PTT). Together, this system will accelerate proficiency, reduce risk, and equip Marines with the technical agility demanded by modern amphibious operations.

“This contract is a milestone in how the corps prepares its ACV crewmen and maintainers – not just for the fight today, but for the complex battlefield of tomorrow,” said Neil Levin, CEO and founder of XRT. “By combining cutting-edge simulation, modular design, and deep subject-matter expertise across our team, we’re creating a training ecosystem that’s scalable, sustainable, and mission-ready from day one.”

XRT’s elite industry team includes Theory Studios, a studio that focuses on 3D modeling and virtual environments; Enludio, which develops digital learning architecture; Talon Simulations, which focuses on high-fidelity motion simulation hardware; Bubo Defense, which works on interactive defense systems integration; RedShred, a secure content and data management infrastructure; Direct Dimensions, which specializes in precision 3D scanning and model generation; and Hatch Exhibits, which focuses on physical system fabrication and integration.

This OTA empowers XRT and its partners to rapidly prototype and test cutting-edge training capabilities, free from the constraints of traditional acquisition cycles. With this flexibility, the Marine Corps can field tailored, scalable training systems that evolve alongside mission needs and platform updates.

The ACV STS program will ultimately shape how Marines learn, adapt, and maintain the next generation of amphibious combat power.
