Virtualitics, the Mission AI company specializing in next-generation readiness solutions for defense, has announced the launch of Virtualitics Iris, a new AI-driven user experience designed to revolutionize how defense organizations and government agencies analyze and act on readiness data.
Drawing on years of operational experience with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), Virtualitics Iris combines Generative AI (GenAI) with specialized Readiness AI Agents in a streamlined interface. This integration enables military leaders and mission operators to extract insights more quickly, communicate them effectively, and make mission-critical decisions with greater confidence. The platform enhances Virtualitics’ existing flagship product, the Integrated Readiness Optimization (IRO) system.
Through a natural-language chat interface powered by GenAI and large language models (LLMs), users can simply ask questions and receive precise, contextual insights. The system’s AI agents trained with defense mission context, organizational structures, and stakeholder expectations automatically surface the most relevant information while guiding users through next steps in the decision-making process.
Purpose-Built for Defense Readiness
Virtualitics Iris is engineered to increase adoption of AI in the defense sector by aligning with established chains of command and governance protocols. The platform ensures human oversight remains central, while providing trusted, actionable recommendations for mission-critical scenarios.

Key benefits of Virtualitics Iris include:
-
Mission-Tuned AI Agents – AI agents designed with an understanding of readiness data, operational challenges, and stakeholder requirements.
-
Accelerated Insight Consumption – Simplified access to critical data without the complexity of traditional analytics tools.
-
Frictionless Decision Chains – Delivery of insights in the right format for the right audience, increasing alignment and speeding up decision-making.
“Readiness is a data rich domain but with a complex decision space,” said Aakash Indurkhya, Vice President of Product at Virtualitics. “With Virtualitics Iris, we’re elevating our IRO capabilities and reimagining how defense leaders and mission operators move an insight forward to handle contention, pushback and ambiguity across organizational boundaries. For example, teams generating and managing Force Readiness need a tool to cut through the complexity in data and analytics and create more space to reach consensus on decisions. Virtualitics Iris is our next step in unlocking that decision advantage.”
“This is a transformative step for our customers,” added Michael Amori, CEO of Virtualitics. “Defense and government leaders always tell me that it takes their teams too long to respond to feedback on analytics. By the time it’s gone down and back up the chain, it’s irrelevant. We don’t think that’s an acceptable status quo given the importance and urgency of the Readiness mission. We’re excited to be challenging it.”
Expanding AI Applications Beyond Defense
While Virtualitics Iris is designed specifically for defense readiness, its AI-powered decision support capabilities extend to any industry operating in complex, high-stakes environments. From military and government organizations to sectors where timely, data-driven decisions are critical, Virtualitics Iris is positioned to deliver a measurable mission advantage.
