The partnership began at Altus Air Force Base, where the 97th Logistics Readiness Squadron struggled to process large classes of Airmen using only a handful of physical training assets. Schemata addressed this bottleneck by creating photorealistic, interactive 3D replicas of equipment, paired with an AI instructor capable of guiding personnel through complex inspection procedures. This allows Airmen to complete certifications on their own schedules without needing access to the physical hardware.

Following successful implementation at Altus, the program has expanded to nine installations, including Ramstein, Nellis, and Langley. Internal data suggests the shift has been highly effective: instructor time requirements have dropped by up to 20 hours per trainee, while training capacity has effectively doubled. Every participant surveyed reported higher confidence levels compared to traditional methods.

James Brown, CEO of Schemata, noted that the Air Force’s early involvement was instrumental in refining the product. The company is now exploring ways to scale this spatial intelligence approach to include more complex airframes, weapon systems, and infrastructure across the broader military and private sector markets.
