IRVINE, CA — September 19, 2025 — EON Reality, the global leader in Artificial Intelligence-powered augmented and virtual reality-based knowledge transfer for industry and education, is proud to unveil the Aerospace & Defense Workforce Training segment within XR Library Premium, the world’s most comprehensive skills-to-jobs platform powered by Spatial AI. This offering addresses the urgent global need for a resilient, mission-ready workforce across aviation, defense, and space operations. To showcase the scope of this initiative, the following EON XR Library Premium Aerospace & Defense List highlights the comprehensive set of training programs included within the Aerospace & Defense Workforce Training segment.
Why Aerospace & Defense?
Aerospace and defense are industries where failure is not an option. Aircraft on ground (AOG) events can cost $150K–$2M per day, defense readiness depends on zero-error systems, and space missions face risks that cannot be replicated physically. At the same time, the sector faces critical talent shortages, with 1 in 3 skilled technicians nearing retirement and a new generation of recruits requiring rapid upskilling.
Traditional training cannot deliver the required readiness. Live exercises are costly, dangerous, or simply impossible. XR Library Premium solves this by providing immersive, risk-free environments to prepare workers and operators for the most complex missions on Earth — and beyond.
What XR Library Premium Delivers
The Aerospace & Defense Segment focuses on four mission-critical groups, each mapped to XR-enabled courses designed to reduce downtime, preserve knowledge, and ensure operational excellence.
Group A — Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) Excellence
Aircraft reliability and combat readiness depend on flawless maintenance. XR Library Premium creates digital twins of engines, avionics, and critical systems for immersive MRO practice.
- Digital Twin Engine Maintenance & Fault Diagnosis: Technicians practice fault isolation on virtual jet engines, reducing AOG delays.
- Avionics Troubleshooting & Systems Integration: Learners rehearse diagnostics across complex electronics.
- Composite Material Repair & Stealth Coatings: XR modules teach repairs on next-gen aircraft composites.
- Weapons System Loading & Arming Safety Protocols: Repetition in XR builds zero-error handling habits.
- Hydraulics & Flight Control System Maintenance: Critical systems can be disassembled and tested virtually.
Use Case: A new technician practices diagnosing an engine turbine fault hundreds of times in XR — something impossible on a live jet engine without enormous cost and downtime.
Group B — Expert Knowledge Capture & Preservation
As veteran experts retire, industries risk losing decades of tacit knowledge. XR Library Premium leverages AI-powered knowledge capture to ensure continuity.
- AI-Powered Knowledge Capture: Veteran Technician Procedures: Digital avatars record and replicate expert workflows.
- Expert Diagnostic Heuristics for Rare Failures: Unique problem-solving logic captured in XR ensures resilience.
- Interactive Knowledge Vault Authoring: Organizations build training modules from preserved expertise.
- Mentorship in Virtual Hangars: Retiring experts mentor juniors in shared digital twin environments.
- Verifiable Competency Records: Immutable audit trails prove mastery for FAA/DoD compliance.
Use Case: Instead of losing know-how when a 30-year avionics specialist retires, XR captures their methods, making them available to every new recruit.
Group C — Operator Mission Readiness
Pilots, crews, and operators face scenarios too risky or rare to train live. XR enables mission rehearsal in zero-risk environments.
- Pilot Emergency Procedures: Dual-Engine Flameout: Pilots rehearse catastrophic failures impossible to simulate in real aircraft.
- Drone/UAV Operator Mission Training: UAV operators practice precision control and rapid decision-making.
- Tank Crew Combat Systems Operation: XR provides immersive training in integrated vehicle systems.
- Shipboard Damage Control & Combat Repair Training: Naval crews drill emergency repairs under fire.
- Space Systems Anomaly Response Simulation: Astronauts train for life-critical anomalies in XR.
Use Case: A space operator trains for solar flare anomalies in XR, gaining skills for a situation that could never be safely recreated in real life.
Group D — Supply Chain & Industrial Base
The defense supply chain must be secure, compliant, and resilient. XR Library Premium standardizes training across suppliers and contractors.
- Secure Manufacturing Practices under ITAR/DoD Standards: XR enforces compliance during manufacturing.
- Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity (CMMC, NIST 800-171): Courses simulate attacks to train cybersecurity resilience.
- Digital Twin Integration Across OEM & Supplier Chains: Learners rehearse interoperability checks virtually.
- Quality Assurance for Aerospace Components (AS9100): XR modules prepare suppliers for certification audits.
- Supply Chain Resilience & Logistics Continuity Planning: Scenarios teach rapid adaptation to disruptions.
Use Case: A parts supplier uses XR to rehearse AS9100 audits, ensuring compliance before facing a real inspection.
How XR Library Premium Transforms Training
| Before XR Library Premium | After XR Library Premium |
|---|---|
| Training limited by cost and danger of live exercises | Unlimited, safe practice with digital twins and XR missions |
| Knowledge lost as experts retire | AI-powered XR captures and preserves tacit expertise |
| Rare emergencies impossible to rehearse | XR simulations make the impossible trainable |
| Compliance training fragmented and inconsistent | XR embeds ITAR, AS9100, FAA, and DoD standards |
| Operators trained in silos | Integrated XR training connects aviation, defense, and space |
Setting a New Standard for Aerospace & Defense Workforce Development
By linking learning → immersive practice → certifications → jobs → mission readiness, XR Library Premium ensures aerospace and defense organizations can build and maintain a mission-ready workforce.
“Defense and aerospace demand zero-error performance. XR Library Premium gives organizations the ability to train, preserve, and scale their workforce for mission-critical readiness,” said Dan Lejerskar, Chairman of EON Reality.
