MassXR: Accelerating Readiness and Reducing Sustainment Costs Across the DoD

Training

Problem Statement: The DoD must maintain fleet readiness while controlling costs. Traditional training is limited by aircraft availability, driving bottlenecks, higher costs, and reduced operational use. Retraining due to skill decay further strains readiness. The DoD needs solutions that accelerate training, reduce reliance on aircraft, and strengthen the sustainment workforce.

Innovative Solution: MassXR® is an enterprise-grade XR ecosystem with interactive 3D environments and performance analytics that boost training speed and effectiveness. Covering 32+ aircraft and 9 vehicles, it delivers scenario-based, hands-on training in realistic environments. Maintainers safely practice preflight, hydraulics, weapons loading, and more in scalable, repeatable modules.

Vendor-open and LMS-integrated, MassXR® supports single- and multi-user training aligned with AFSCs and technical orders. Fielded across 200+ units, it delivers enterprise-wide readiness gains with adaptable curriculum-driven modules.

Proven Benefits:

• 45% faster course completion, 30% higher throughput
• 72% reduction in retraining, mitigating skill decay
• 50% fewer aircraft required, preserving mission assets
• $30M in fuel savings in 2024

Innovation Challenges: Initial barriers included system integration, alignment with technical data, and adoption in secure environments. MVI overcame these with an open architecture, rapid deployment timelines, and LMS-driven analytics that measure performance and cost avoidance.

Technical Maturity: MassXR® is operational with 845 modules across 31K annual Air Force users. Training has been developed and delivered on nearly every USAF aircraft. Independent evaluations confirm reduced costs, preserved assets, and higher readiness. MassXR® is a mature, fielded solution delivering sustained impact at scale.

Cross-Service Expansion: In 2025, the U.S. Army awarded MVI its first immersive sustainment contract, deploying at Fort Bliss to accelerate training on advanced sensor systems. This same year, NAVSEA selected MassXR® as winner of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard XR Prize Challenge for shipboard firefighting training, demonstrating mission-critical impact across Services and domains.

Conclusion: MassXR® accelerates training pipelines, preserves assets, and reduces costs. This proven ecosystem directly supports DoD sustainment priorities and delivers long-term ROI.
