Pacific Air Forces and Special Operations Command Adopt Advanced War Room Software from Immersive Wisdom
Immersive Wisdom, Inc. has made significant strides in military communications with its selection by Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) and Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). Both organizations have contracted for Immersive Wisdom's state-of-the-art, ultra-low bandwidth digital war room collaboration software, which is designed to function effectively in environments with Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, and Limited-Bandwidth (DDIL) conditions. This selection marks a crucial step towards enhancing operational capabilities across multiple military commands.
The awarded contracts allow PACAF and AFSOC to tap into a $25 million IDIQ sole-source SBIR Phase III purchasing vehicle through the Air Combat Command (ACC), which extends until 2029. This partnership accelerates the implementation and use of Immersive Wisdom’s software across various departments of the Department of Defense (DoD), enabling effective communication in contested environments where traditional communication methods may fail.
The software operates using existing government-issued laptops without the need for specialized hardware or virtual reality setups. It allows users to collaborate even at speeds as low as 100 kilobits per second, while also functioning offline. By doing so, it effectively bridges the gap created by geographical distances and ensures seamless communication for warfighters scattered across theaters of operation.
Mike Appelbaum, CEO of Immersive Wisdom, stated, "By building upon our existing ACC collaborations, we are now delivering vital low and no bandwidth communication capabilities. Our Digital War Rooms connect distributed warfighters, ensuring they can communicate efficiently regardless of underlying infrastructures." This sentiment underscores the transformative power of the software in modern military operations, allowing users to engage in collaborative discussions and decision-making processes that previously may have been hampered by connectivity issues.
Founded in 2016 and based in Boca Raton, Florida, Immersive Wisdom specializes in providing a patented remote communications platform that caters to sectors needing distributed operations, including government agencies, logistics, and telecommunications. Its comprehensive approach to solving connectivity problems in challenging environments has garnered attention and contracts with various branches of the U.S. military, showcasing its effectiveness in diverse scenarios.
In a time when digital transformation is key to operational success, Immersive Wisdom stands out with a product that not only satisfies military requirements but also enhances the collaborative experience for users in constrained environments. The recent award of a strategic funding increase (STRATFI) contract by AFWERX underlines the increasing need for innovative solutions in military command and control operations, ensuring that personnel can respond swiftly and effectively to evolving threats.
The implications of these advancements go beyond just technical specifications; they highlight a shift in how military operations are conducted in increasingly digital and remote environments. By leveraging these innovative communication tools, branches like PACAF and AFSOC are poised to enhance their readiness and responsiveness in various scenarios, ultimately fortifying national security imperatives.

As military conflicts become more technologically advanced, solutions like these will play a critical role in ensuring missions are conducted smoothly, regardless of external challenges.
