The U.S. Navy has selected ARwall to provide ARFX Infinite Studio 2 for video-based training content production. The LA-based virtual production platform, which has powered 150+ Hollywood productions for Netflix, Disney, HBO, and Lucasfilm, is entering the defense sector for the first time.
The contract addresses a specific operational problem: the Navy needs training content that is immersive, rapidly produced, and operationally accurate, and traditional production workflows are too slow and costly to keep pace. ARFX Infinite Studio 2 lets Navy production teams generate photorealistic, mission-specific environments in minutes using AI, entirely in-camera, with no compositing required after the shoot.
How the Platform Works
The platform is built on Google's AI infrastructure and features end-to-end encryption throughout the pipeline. Desktop and mobile access means production teams can operate from naval vessels to forward operational theaters — not just a studio facility.
The technical architecture centers on Studio Brain, a hierarchical AI memory system that coordinates nine generative AI models simultaneously. A feature called Automatic Show Training learns the visual language of a specific production automatically, so operators don't need to configure models manually for each project. The system handles consistency and accuracy across all training content from the start.
ARwall holds six foundational patents on LED Volume technology and won AI Product of the Year at NAB Show in both 2024 and 2025 — the only platform to win back-to-back. The company maintains strategic partnerships with Google, Microsoft, and B&H Photo.
What the CEO Said
CEO Rene Amador: "We built ARFX Infinite Studio 2 to perform at the highest level of production demand. Hollywood was just the first proving ground. The U.S. Navy's selection validates what we've always believed: that AI-powered virtual production isn't just for entertainment. It's for any institution that needs to tell stories that matter, fast and at scale. We're proud to serve those who serve."
Why This Matters Beyond Defense
The Navy contract is notable because it validates a use case ARwall has been building toward: AI virtual production as institutional infrastructure, not just a filmmaking tool. Training content has the same requirements as narrative production — visual consistency, fast turnaround, controlled environments — but with the added constraint of operational security. The fact that ARFX Infinite Studio 2 cleared that bar suggests the platform's architecture is further along than most Hollywood-focused tools.
