*When you work with a team of elite badasses, success and achievement are expected, and excellence is the goal.* 

Dynepic’s Senior Military Advisor, Kevin Watry, has always lived by this mantra. 

Splitting his time three ways, Kevin is also a pilot for Southwest Airlines and Commander of the United States Air Force’s 729th Airlift Squadron at March Air Reserve Base, California. Super cool news - Kevin’s 729th Airlift Squadron recently won 4th Air Force’s nomination for the prestigious General Joseph Smith Trophy! Determined by leadership  - highlighting them as the most outstanding airlift squadron in 4th Air Force - the competition is steep among the USAF Reserve’s 15 strategic airlift squadrons. 

“This honor recognized my amazing team at the 729th who put everything forward during the most challenging operations environment in recent history due in part to the pandemic, heavy fiscal constraints, new mission requirements and executing the largest humanitarian airlift evacuation in history ,” Kevin shared. “They helped close operations in Afghanistan, drove new tactics, techniques and procedures for Agile Combat Employment at exercise Northern Edge, volunteered more than 5,000 days, and flew over 4,600 hours in every major operation in the world.”

Kevin added, “The 729th Airlift Squadron works tirelessly to ensure our nation’s defense. While many tasks and sacrifices these men and women make can’t be recognized, they’ve more than earned this honor.”

Expansion will empower users to collaborate and train alongside colleagues in the Metaverse 

United States of America, July 20, 2022 — Dynepic® announced today the purchase of SurrealVR, a pioneer in platform agnostic virtual reality (VR) that helped lay the groundwork for immersive collaboration in the Metaverse. With Dynepic’s proven DX Platform already changing the course of modern training and education, DX users will now be able to successfully teach, learn, and collaborate with colleagues in a 3D environment. 

 “I believe the ultimate success and adoption of the Metaverse will come from providing the right capabilities that enable people to level up their skills, learning, and knowledge,” said Krissa Watry, Co-Founder, and CEO of Dynepic. “This acquisition represents a significant leap forward for corporate, team, and individual training across dimensions.”

Dynepic has already begun building SurrealVR’s core capabilities into its DX Platform, with plans to release collaborative learning APIs for eXtended reality (XR) training creators first. That way, instead of creating it from scratch, developers using Dynepic’s DX can easily build a Metaverse training product by leveraging its core feature set including avatars, identity management, real-time voice chat, physics, locomotion, and a common VR/AR menu system. The first users to benefit from the new 3D classrooms will be the US Air Force, whose trainers and students already use a white-labeled version of DX called MOTAR® (Member, Operations, Training, Analytics, Reports). 

“Creators on DX (and MOTAR) can now make their product social, multiplayer, and VR/AR ready, in a matter of days – saving time, money, and drastically reducing any friction - on an already proven and secure platform,” SurrealVR Co-Founder, Orchun Koroglu shared. 

Arthur Goikhman, Co-Founder and CEO of SurrealVR, said the acquisition is a key step on Dynepic’s roadmap as an influential force in modern learning and training. 

“What VR did for social gaming years ago is now a reality for businesses of all sizes,” Goikhman added. “This acquisition means any company using Dynepic’s DX platform could leverage virtual reality, bringing together individuals, teams, instructors, and students from anywhere in the world and giving them the opportunity to deepen and enrich their learning and collaboration by working side-by-side.” 

Bold moves have always been a part of what makes Dynepic a leader in immersive training and education. While the company began as a DX Platform in the youth-focused connected play industry where data privacy and security were paramount, in 2019 Dynepic competed in and won the AFWERX Mixed Reality Platform Challenge, earning DX its place in the US Air Force under the white-label MOTAR.  Since then, MOTAR has been named a requirement across the USAF and is on track to become a program of record.

MOTAR, small business innovations recognized as critical to United States Air Force readiness

United States, June 28, 2022 — Congress heard us, loud and clear! Following several months of meeting with Members of Congress and their staff about the positive impact of the MOTAR® ecosystem on the United States Air Force (USAF) education and training, the House Armed Services Committee passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2023 out of committee with language supporting the critical work Dynepic® is doing with the Department. This provision is yet another significant step in support of the USAF’s ability to provide Airmen with modern, digital training options and ultimately, our nation’s safety. 

Specifically, the NDAA would require a plan from the Secretary of the Air Force in early 2023 outlining how the USAF would “transition digital training infrastructure into the appropriate Air Force organizations as soon as technical readiness will allow.” The plan would provide critical guidance on security and training, support and sustainment, the incorporation of immersive technologies, collaboration across the USAF, roles and responsibilities for software and hardware integration, and guidance to include small businesses.  

“Since I left the military 15 years ago, its technology hasn’t changed much,” said Dynepic Co-Founder and CEO, Krissa Watry. “As noted by Congress, digital modernization of the education and training landscape to leverage cutting edge technology like Extended Reality is critical to military readiness and maintaining our dominance in national defense.”

After USAF encouraged the company to participate in the 2019 USAF AFWERX Mixed Reality Platform Challenge, which Dynepic won over many large and established businesses, Dynepic has become an example of small business innovation at work in the furtherance of national security. Since then, the company has leveraged multiple phases of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to further develop, tailor, and deploy its secure DX platform under the Air Force’s label, Member Operations Training Analysis Reports (MOTAR). In 2021, MOTAR became a validated USAF training requirement and is currently on track to become a Program of Record. 

“We’re stoked to be on this journey with the changemakers in Congress and the Department of Defense,” Watry said. “Our work advocating for military training transformation has just begun, and our energy is limitless.”
