Helsinki, Finland | June 17th, 2025
Basemark, a leader in Augmented Reality (AR) software, announced today its strategic expansion into the defense sector. With this move, the company aims to bring its cutting-edge AR technologies to defense systems and applications, enhancing mission-critical operations as well as training and simulation through immersive and intelligent visual solutions.
AR technology offers significant advantages in defense, particularly in training and simulation, where it enables more efficient, cost-effective, and realistic scenarios. In field operations, AR plays a vital role in improving situational awareness by delivering real-time, integrated information from multiple sources, minimizing response times and reducing cognitive load by eliminating the need to switch between systems and interfaces.
Basemark’s AR software, Rocksolid AR, supports deployment across a variety of target devices, including smart helmets and visors, AR glasses, drones, and heads-up displays (HUDs), ensuring compatibility with varied defense environments and use cases.
“Our expertise in high reliability and high-quality AR in the automotive industry is a good background for entering the defense sector,” said Tero Sarkkinen, founder & CEO of Basemark. “We have studied technical environment and requirements for applications both in the field operations and in training and simulation and are confident that we can meet and exceed those.”
Rocksolid AR is designed to perform efficiently in embedded systems with limited processing power. For the defense industry, the company envisions creating an even more streamlined version of its software, making it ideal for military use. Key features include ultra-low latency, precise 3D positioning, real-time data rendering, and robust content stabilization. These capabilities are essential for ensuring that digital overlays remain accurate and locked onto real-world targets, even in fast-moving and mobile scenarios.
With this expansion, Basemark is actively engaging with defense partners and stakeholders to tailor its AR solutions to the unique demands of military applications.
