REISER Simulation and Training Hosted 206 XR Experience Day with Varjo

Germany – REISER Simulation and Training GmbH and Varjo hosted an XR Experience Day near Munich, Germany, gathering approximately 75 defense and aviation professionals to explore high-fidelity extended reality (XR) simulation for military and civil training. The event builds on REISER and Varjo's ongoing collaboration to bring mixed-reality flight training devices to market, following the German Federal Aviation Office's pre-qualification of their jointly developed H145 D3 simulator in November 2025, and signals continued efforts to build operator awareness ahead of full FTD-3 certification.

AFM previously reported that REISER and Varjo achieved German Federal Aviation Office (LBA) pre-qualification for their jointly developed H145 D3 Mixed-Reality Helicopter Simulator in November 2025, recognised as conferring FTD-3 privileges ahead of full certification.

Statements

• "Training is the decisive factor in military success. Forces win when they can rehearse complex environments and high stress situations before they face them. XR-based simulation finally gives us the ability to train at that level of realism and scale," said Nico Lange, Founder and Director of the IRIS Institute for Risk Analysis and International Security and Senior Fellow at CEPA.
• "Modern training systems must evolve in step with operational demands. XR-based simulation enables us to build a scalable and flexible training ecosystem that adapts to real-world requirements and delivers mission-ready forces," said Martin Keil, CTO, REISER.
• "Mixed reality is no longer a concept we pitch to decision-makers — it is the infrastructure that enables militaries and civil security forces to scale training at a pace traditional methods simply cannot match. New threat vectors like drone warfare do not wait for ranges to be built, instructors to be hired, or NCOs to be trained. Our work with REISER demonstrates how high-fidelity XR delivers measurable outcomes today, and why the organizations that move fastest on synthetic training will outpace every threat that follows," said Valentin Storz, Chief Revenue Officer, Varjo.
