Schemata Wins $3.25M AFWERX Contracts for AI Air Force Training

San Francisco – October 13, 2026 -- Schemata has been awarded $3.25 million in fully funded, milestone-based contracts through the U.S. Air Force innovation arm AFWERX to deliver AI-enabled virtual training for Air Force equipment. The total comprises an initial $1.25 million award and a $2 million extension, which funds training for members of the 97th Air Mobility Wing.

Altus pilot spreads to nine installations at no added cost

Schemata began with two civilian equipment platforms at Altus. Each module is a photorealistic, interactive 3D copy of the real equipment, paired with an AI Instructor that guides Airmen through inspection procedures and answers their questions. Airmen use the modules to prepare for the hands-on inspection portion of equipment certification, and can practice on their own schedule without the physical equipment or an instructor present.
