This announcement follows Kilo’s successful contract with the US Navy’s ONR, where our COTS VASCO product was adapted into the Virtual Bridge and Navigational Trainer (VIBRaNT) to enhance naval training capabilities.

The adoption of VASCO in its various forms by both the US Navy and Royal Navy reinforces Kilo’s position as a trusted provider of cutting-edge VR training solutions for global defence forces.
