HADES™ – Helmet AI/AR for Extended Reality Systems

Overview

HADES™ is BANC3’s AI-powered wearable intelligence platform designed to support situational awareness, training, and decision-making in complex operational environments. The system leverages AI to fuse, analyze, and prioritize data streams, enabling users to rapidly interpret information and respond effectively under dynamic conditions.

A lightweight augmented reality (AR) interface complements the AI engine by presenting mission-relevant insights directly within the user’s field of view. This hands-free interaction reduces cognitive load and supports more intuitive engagement during training and operational scenarios.

HADES™ integrates AI-driven data fusion with precision spatial tracking, combining camera-based tracking and ultra-wideband (UWB) sensing to deliver accurate, multi-user positional awareness. This architecture enables realistic interaction with people, tools, and objects in physical environments while maintaining the tracking fidelity required for advanced training and mission rehearsal.

Market Challenge

Special Operations Forces (SOF) and advanced training units face growing challenges:

• Mission rehearsal requires ecologically valid, mission-contextualized training environments
• Existing solutions are often limited in scale, adaptability, and realism
• High costs, long lead times, and limited reconfigurability constrain effective training and repetition

BANC3 Solution

BANC3 addresses these challenges with HADES™, an AI-driven wearable intelligence system designed to deliver real-time insights and adaptive training support at the tactical edge. Through AI-powered data fusion and prioritization, HADES enables faster comprehension and more informed decision-making during training and mission rehearsal.

An integrated augmented reality (AR) visualization layer complements the AI engine by enabling immersive, hands-free interaction in dynamic and reconfigurable scenarios. Together, AI-driven intelligence and AR-enabled visualization provide a scalable, future-ready foundation for extended reality systems supporting defense, security, and select enterprise use cases.
