Investment Boosts Red 6 National Security Solutions

Red 6 has raised $7 million in the form of a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) in a round led by Red Cell, Snowpoint Ventures, and Octave. There was additional participation from existing and new investors, including long term investor Moonshots Capital, Irongate, TR Aeroventures, and Marlinspike. The investment will allow Red 6 to mature the development of both Airborne Tactical Augmented Reality System (ATARS) and Combined Augmented Reality Battlespace Operational Network (CARBON).

In recent years, the Department of Defense has begun to pivot its training readiness focus from supporting two decades of ground-based operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, to building the capabilities required to defeat a near-peer threat. Robinson, a former Royal Air Force pilot, and first non-American to fly the F-22 Raptor, co-founded Red 6 on the belief that the nation is facing a national security crisis.
