Military and special operations training
Rehearse the mission before you run it.
Humulo turns a floor plan, CAD file, or set of photos into a shared virtual objective your team can plan on, walk through together, and rehearse at full scale in an open room. No shoot house to build. No range to schedule.

Mission rehearsal and objective familiarization
Recreate a specific objective and run the entry as many times as the team needs, room to room and building to building. When intelligence changes the picture, update the model instead of rebuilding a structure.
Repetitions win missions. Most units can't get enough of them.
Teams perform the way they've rehearsed. The problem is that realistic rehearsal is slow, expensive, and hard to schedule.
Physical mockups take months
Building a replica objective costs real money and time, and it's out of date the moment the target changes.
Range and facility time is scarce
Teams compete for the same shoot houses and training areas. Rehearsals get cut to fit the calendar.
Briefs don't build coordination
A slide deck and a sand table can explain the plan. They can't give a team the feel of moving through the space together.
Crawl, walk, run — on the same virtual objective.
One 3D model of the objective carries your team from the planning table to a full-scale rehearsal. Leaders brief around it, the team walks it together, then runs it at full scale. Each stage builds on the one before it.
Crawl: plan it
Laptop, tablet, phone, or Teams
Leaders brief the team on an interactive 3D model of the objective. Everyone can rotate, zoom, and inspect it on their own screen. No headset needed.
Available todayWalk: see it together
Standalone VR headsets
The team steps inside the objective in a shared virtual space, walks the routes, and talks through positions and responsibilities room by room.
Available todayRun: rehearse it
Mixed reality in an open room
Operators move at full scale through a mapped empty space while walls, doors, and role players appear around them. Instructors change the scenario as it runs.
Configured for your programWhat the platform gives your training team
Built on Humulo Workshop, our collaborative 3D platform, and commercial off-the-shelf headsets. No new research program required.
Build the objective from what you have
Start from CAD files, floor plans, photos, or scans. Your team uploads models through a self-service portal and publishes them to a private library.
One shared space for the whole team
Multi-user avatars and spatial calibration put every member in the same virtual scene, whether they're in one room or several.
Leaders observe from anywhere
Commanders and staff join from a browser or a Microsoft Teams meeting and see the same scene the team sees, with two-way audio.
Instructor control
An instructor station lets trainers add obstacles, move role players, and change conditions mid-run, so no two repetitions are the same.
After-action review grounded in HFACS
Session data maps to the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System, the framework the U.S. military uses to analyze mishaps, so debriefs focus on causes, not just outcomes.
A footprint that moves with you
Standalone enterprise headsets and an open room are all a rehearsal space needs. Nothing permanent to build, and nothing to tear down when the mission changes.
Where units use it
The same platform supports mission-specific rehearsal and the everyday training that keeps teams sharp.
Team coordination and cohesion
New members learn where they fit in the stack, and established teams tighten communication before they train live.
Operational planning
Planners and leaders walk courses of action together in 3D and spot problems a flat map hides.
Equipment and platform familiarization
Walk crews through ship, vehicle, or facility systems on accurate 3D models, drawing on our Navy submarine and shipyard heritage.
Safety and procedural training
Pair mission training with Humulo's library of VR safety courses for maintenance, fire, and hazard recognition.

Proven technology, not a research project
Everything starts from commercial hardware and a platform that is already running with customers, so your timeline is spent on your mission, not on inventing tools.
Your team owns the content
Low-code tools let your trainers load and update their own environments, with Humulo engineers supporting you when you need them.
Small-business contracting paths
SDVOSB status opens set-aside and sole-source options, and we team with primes on larger programs.
