Highlighting vendors in the MOTAR Ecosystem is one of our favorite things to do at Dynepic - and today we have a stellar one for you! 

You may have heard we recently announced our new app delivery pipeline, MOTAR Fastlane, built to supercharge application deployment to the US Military seamlessly and efficiently. We also shared that the first app to leverage Fastlane came from JANUS Research Group.

Here’s the full scoop!

Earlier this year, the prototype for JANUS’ B-52 Virtual Reality (VR) training app was brought to life after the company participated in the STRIKEWERX Advanced Training Concepts Challenge. The app supports the training of the Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) and B-52 crew members in charge of aircraft communications. Based on its effectiveness, the app was quickly identified as a top way to evolve and improve Airmen training and promoted to production. 

Following closely after the Challenge, the app went through MOTAR Fastlane in just a few weeks, was deployed to MOTAR Live, and is now accessible for government use on MOTAR Live's Hub via NIPRNet at https://motar.af.mil! 

“Using MOTAR Fastlane gave us an accelerated path to deploy our training application to IL4 and reduced the Cybersecurity burden at the same time,” shared JANUS Project Manager Kurt Anderson. “The Dynepic team worked with us through the whole process with programmatic, developer, and security support to make everything seamless. All of this meant that the JANUS team was able to focus on developing our application and working with our customer.” 

Additionally, JANUS’ B-52 app is the first to be authorized to utilize Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). While this can often take months or even years to happen, using MOTAR Fastlane made it possible in just weeks. 

“Apps approved through MOTAR Fastlane can inherit MOTAR security controls, deploy to an IL4 environment, and deliver to devices such as XR headsets in weeks instead of years,” explained Krissa Watry, CEO and Co-Founder at Dynepic. “JANUS’ app is the perfect example of why we built Fastlane to get today’s best learning applications to our USAF Airmen.” 

She added, “The opportunity with STRIKEWERX and the support of the USAF to harness the innovative power of small businesses outside the military is a huge part of what will ultimately give our Warfighters the edge in modern learning and training to win. We’re proud to work with JANUS and look forward to many more apps deploying through Fastlane.”

Dynepic’s XR-optimized pipeline supports creators to efficiently get secure, IL4 compliant apps into the hands of government users 

(RENO, NV) – Dynepic®, Inc. has officially released its new eXtended Reality (XR) optimized application delivery pipeline, MOTAR® Fastlane, and in record time has deployed the first third party application under MOTAR’s Authorization to Operate (ATO) where it's now accessible for government use on MOTAR Live’s Hub via NIPRNet at https://motar.af.mil. 

MOTAR, also known as the ‘platforms of platforms,’  is the Department of Defense’s immersive learning ecosystem that empowers users to train and operate without boundaries - online, offline, anytime, anywhere and on any device. The addition of MOTAR Fastlane has now leveled-up the process for software applications to inherit MOTAR security controls, deploy to an IL4 environment, and deliver to approved devices (even XR headsets!) in weeks instead of years. The company plans to publicly highlight its first app deployed via MOTAR Fastlane from Janus Research later this month. 

“We have an ambitious vision at Dynepic; this is just the first milestone for MOTAR Fastlane. Right now, the capability is aimed at applications made with Unity, and in the fall we’ll expand to include Kubernetes containerized services and WebXR apps,” said Co-Founder and CEO, Krissa Watry. “Every step of the way, MOTAR is evolving to support the needs of today’s Multi-Capable Airmen, and now MOTAR Fastlane can help ensure they have the immersive apps and cutting edge technology they need in a one stop shop.” 

This expansion of the MOTAR platform comes just a year after Dynepic was awarded a significant contract - the AFWERX Strategic Funding Increase (STRATFI) and is part of a four-year effort to round out the core capabilities that will make MOTAR the platform of choice to host and deliver a diverse and sustainable  immersive technology ecosystem for the USAF and broader DoD.

(RENO, NV) – Dynepic, Inc.® announces it has been selected by AFWERX for a Phase II SBIR contract in the amount of $1.25M focused on adapting its MOTAR® Platform to address the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF). 

The Air Force Research Laboratory and AFWERX have partnered to streamline the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) process by accelerating the small business experience through faster proposal to award timelines, changing the pool of potential applicants by expanding opportunities to small business and eliminating bureaucratic overhead by continually implementing process improvement changes in contract execution. The DAF began offering the Open Topic SBIR/STTR program in 2018 which expanded the range of innovations the DAF funded and this month Dynepic will start its journey to create and provide innovative capabilities that will strengthen the national defense of the United States of America.

“Today’s Warfighters and Just In Time Multi-Mission Airmen/Warfighters (JITMMA/W) are required to train and operate at ‘The Edge’; the MOTAR Platform with its mobile MOTAR-In-A-Box (MIAB) capability empowers them to do just that -  train without boundaries - online, offline, anytime, anywhere and on any device,” said Krissa Watry, Co-Founder, and CEO of Dynepic. “Specifically, this expanded capability will provide the US Air Force with the ability to stream training content from MIAB, including Augmented and Virtual Reality applications to ensure they can train and operate with skill wherever the mission takes them!”
