First, the company has been selected as the lead integrator for a multi-user virtual infantry training system for the U.S. Marine Corps, incorporating four Omni One treadmills. This project, expected to be delivered in Q4, represents a substantial expansion of Virtuix's defense sector involvement and could lead to broader deployment. Second, the Board of Directors has formed a special committee to actively pursue strategic acquisitions in the defense training and simulation industry.
