PASADENA, Calif. – August 28, 2025 – Virtualitics, a leading Mission AI company specializing in next-generation readiness solutions for defense, today announced the release of Virtualitics Iris. This innovative platform introduces an all-new user experience designed to fundamentally transform how defense organizations and government agencies interact with and utilize their critical readiness data.
Built upon extensive experience gained from deployments within the Department of Defense (DoD), Virtualitics Iris seamlessly integrates Generative AI (GenAI) and specialized Readiness AI Agents into a single, intuitive interface.
