Aptima

Aptima’s deep-rooted experience with the United States Air Force, along with our proven track record in modeling and simulation (M&S) and dedicated program support, equips us to deliver impactful solutions for mission success. CEO Mike Garrity shares Aptima’s commitment to advancing these critical AFMS3 initiatives: "Aptima is poised and ready to bring our 26+ year USAF experience to the US Air Force Modeling and Simulation Support Services (AFMS3) program," said Garrity. "As a mature small business, Aptima supports M&S exercises, programs that include SCARS, JSE, DMO/DMT, and we have onsite staff working as trusted thought partners on current AF M&S programs. We look forward to partnering to continue bringing our capabilities to support the Warfighter in full-spectrum operations."

What a fun time to bring Aptima work to my alma mater. Thank you to Meredith Carroll , Matthew Taylor, and the ATLAS Lab at Florida Tech for giving us the opportunity to bring some of our research to you. My colleagues Cherrise Ficke, Jonathan Reynolds, and myself traveled to Florida Tech to demonstrate an XR simulation of laser dazzle events and the visual impariments they cause (like scotomas). Laser strikes are happening more and more everyday, and multiple student pilots had experienced laser strikes before! Thank you to Meredith and Matt for the opportunity to show off the project in development and gathering feedback to make it a useful tool for aviation training programs. The ATLAS Lab members (pictured below) also got the opportunity to try it out and chat about how we go about designing systems with human factors at the forefront. And—as always—I had to bring some training simulations from the Gaming Research Integration for Learning Lab (GRILL®). Who doesn't love to jump out of a plane in VR? Excited to implement some of the feedback and see Stephanie Fussell at Kent State soon!

Aptima Receives $192M Contract Enhancement for Air Force Training and Readiness We’re excited to announce a $192 million contract enhancement, extending our ID/IQ contract to $291 million. This funding will advance Aptima's AI-driven technologies to enhance Warfighter training and readiness. “This contract enhancement is a testament to the vital role our technologies play in advancing Warfighter readiness and mission performance. By integrating artificial intelligence with learning systems, we are delivering solutions that not only scale but also personalize training for the unique needs of our armed forces,” said Mike Garrity, CEO of Aptima, Inc. “We’re proud to continue our partnership with the US Air Force, pushing the boundaries of human-AI teaming to ensure our Warfighters are prepared for the complexities of tomorrow's battles.” For this ongoing work, Aptima continues to acknowledge the support of the Dayton Development Coalition and JobsOhio since Aptima’s establishment in Fairborn.

Aptima is gearing up for our CORE (Culture, Ownership, Respect, and Engagement) DE&I initiatives in 2025, and we couldn't be more excited! This September, 52 Aptimists gathered in two dynamic road mapping sessions to brainstorm how we’ll bring CORE to life in the upcoming year. From the wealth of ideas shared, several themes emerged: • Elevating how we develop and support Aptimists • Strengthening connections within Aptima and with our external partners • Expanding and diversifying our talent pipeline We’ve already begun setting priorities for Q1 of 2025, and we’re just getting started! Stay tuned for more updates as we shape our vision into action. For more information, visit www.aptima.com #Aptima #HumanCenteredEngineering #CORE #DEI

Today, we observe Indigenous Peoples' Day, a time to honor the rich histories, cultures, and lasting contributions of Indigenous communities. This day encourages reflection on the resilience and strength of Indigenous peoples while acknowledging the challenges they continue to face. At Aptima, we remain dedicated to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion, rooted in our CORE principles: Culture, Ownership, Respect, and Engagement. We are taking this opportunity to reflect, learn, and explore how we can support Indigenous communities, both within our organization and beyond, and hope you all will do the same. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

iEXCEL, the Interprofessional EXperiential Center for Enduring Learning at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, is a transformative medical simulation and training program. With iEXCEL 2.0, their 2024-2028 vision, they are setting the stage for the future by focusing (in part) on scientific rigor in areas such as scenario development, human performance measurement, and clinical outcomes. Join us tomorrow, October 11, at the “Innovation in Health Education Forum,” featuring multiple speakers and discussion panels. Aptima's Chief Behavioral Scientist, Dr. Jeffrey Beaubien, will describe approaches to human performance measurement from the DoD that can help the iEXCEL team to help achieve their iEXCEL 2.0 vision. Don’t miss it! Learn more about iEXCEL at www.unmc.edu/iexcel/ and keep up to date with Aptima at www.aptima.com #Aptima #HumanCenteredEngineering #iEXCEL #UNMC #HealthEducation #HumanPerformance
