Aptima Puerto Rico

In the quickly accelerating world of AI, keeping the human in mind has always been a priority for us. During the NDIA New England AI panel, Aptima's Adam Fouse was thrilled that this importance was brought up and thoroughly discussed by all. In what ways do you think AI and humans should interact? Let us know in the comments below! #Aptima #HumanCenteredEngineering #AI #NDIA #PanelDiscussion

We're always happy to meet like-minded people, and even happier when they choose to join us! Gabriela Cruz Vázquez, MS recently joined us as our newest Associate Scientist working in Puerto Rico. In Gabriela's words, she chose to come onboard because she believes "Aptima represents the core values of my profession- human centered direction into forward-thinking solutions," which we think is pretty neat. Please join us in welcoming Gabriela! #Aptima #AptimaPuertoRico #New Hire #HumanCenteredEngineering #PuertoRicoJobs

We had the opportunity to take part in the One-on-One Matchmaker event at the US Women’s Chamber of Commerce Contracting Summit at GMU in Arlington, VA—and it did not disappoint. This fast-paced event brought together an amazing group of women-owned small businesses for meaningful, focused conversations. Dean Strong, CFCM and Jessica Perkins connected with 16 impressive companies, each offering unique capabilities and perspectives on how they could complement or enhance Aptima’s work in the federal space. We left energized by the potential for future partnerships and proud to be part of a summit that champions small business growth, innovation, and collaboration.

What if your aircraft could detect pilot fatigue or hypoxia before it becomes a problem? As part of the Army’s Future Vertical Lift (FVL) program, Aptima is developing CrewCare-HHS—a cutting-edge, unobtrusive system that uses forehead-mounted multimodal sensors and real-time analytics to monitor a pilot’s health and performance mid-flight. Powered by our Sensor-based Assessment Technologies (SAT) portfolio, CrewCare-HHS detects cognitive load, vital signs, and early warning signs like hypoxia or hydrostatic shock—all while seamlessly integrating with current pilot gear and flight operations. Because when the mission gets critical, knowing your pilot’s state can be just as important as knowing your aircraft’s.

The first of our two presenters will be #IT2EC tomorrow in Norway! Join us in "Beyond the base: deployed training in austere environments" with Dr. Summer Rebensky and MSgt David Shepherd, chaired by Winston "Wink" Bennett. The team will explore how immersive XR training systems can enhance mission readiness—especially in austere and contested environments—through real-world examples from the US Air Force Research Lab’s Gaming Research Integration for Learning Lab (GRILL). We’ll be sharing insights from two key use cases: ▪️Integrating role-based XR training into LVC scenarios with live data streaming ▪️Delivering deployable, in-the-moment XR training on the flight line If you're interested in the future of adaptable, scalable military training solutions, stop by our session!

Spatial disorientation is a leading factor in aviation accidents, occurring when pilots lose their situation awareness and accurate perception of position, motion, and/or altitude relative to the Earth's surface. No cost effective training solution currently exists that can deliver both the SD illusion training scenarios and the neurophysiological effects of SD -- UNTIL NOW. Aptima is working with the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWCTSD) and Soar Technology, LLC to develop MASTER (Mishap Awareness Scenario Training for Ensuring Readiness), a novel immersive training solution that combines virtual reality (VR) to present an array of SD illusion playback videos. Learn more about how MASTER will transform SD training at https://lnkd.in/exe3s8zE.
