HyperTunnel, a leading innovator in XR solutions for frontline workers, is proud to announce the award of a contract from the U.S. Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office (RSO). This Sequential SBIR Phase II contract will provide non-dilutive funding to further develop HyperTunnel, the company’s cutting-edge solution for remote aircraft maintenance support.

HyperTunnel is designed to revolutionize Air Force maintenance operations by addressing key challenges faced by the sustainment enterprise. The primary objectives of this contract include:

• Providing Remote Support Capabilities: HyperTunnel will enable remote troubleshooting and expert guidance, reducing the need for on-site support.

• Minimizing Aircraft Downtime: By connecting maintainers with subject matter experts (SMEs) regardless of location, HyperTunnel will accelerate maintenance processes and enhance mission readiness.

• Bridging Workforce Gaps: With an increasing number of low-tenured Air Force personnel, HyperTunnel will ensure that geographically dispersed SMEs can effectively support maintainers, improving knowledge transfer and operational efficiency.

“This contract represents a major milestone in our mission to bring next-generation XR technology to military and commercial aviation maintenance,” said Eduardo Neeter, Founder and CEO of HyperTunnel. “We are excited to work alongside the U.S. Air Force to enhance aircraft sustainment, reduce downtime, and optimize the utilization of subject matter experts across the enterprise.”

The Rapid Sustainment Office (RSO) is dedicated to advancing innovative solutions that enhance the sustainment and readiness of the Air Force’s fleet. By leveraging HyperTunnel’s capabilities, the RSO aims to streamline aircraft maintenance and improve overall operational effectiveness.

HyperTunnel is committed to driving technological advancements that modernize maintenance operations, benefiting not only the Air Force but also commercial aerospace and other industries reliant on complex equipment sustainment.
