About Virtualitics

Virtualitics develops artificial intelligence software that helps defense, government and enterprise organizations interpret complex data and make operational decisions. Founded in Pasadena, California, in 2016, the company commercialized more than a decade of collaborative research at the California Institute of Technology and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Its work combines advanced analytics, explainable machine learning and interactive visualization, with a particular focus on mission readiness.

The company’s core platform, Virtualitics Iris, brings together machine learning, knowledge graphs and multi-dimensional 3D visual analytics. It automates pattern detection and explains the factors behind model outputs, helping data scientists and non-technical decision-makers explore relationships within complex datasets. Its no-code approach supports analysis without requiring users to write custom code, while data integration and analytics engineering connect tabular and non-tabular information into interactive knowledge graphs.

Operational readiness applications

Virtualitics builds applications for maintenance forecasting, materiel distribution, personnel readiness, supply chain resilience and strategic planning. These applications help organizations anticipate equipment failures, understand resource constraints and assess operational readiness. Its defense work includes predictive maintenance and readiness modeling for U.S. Marine Corps ground and tactical vehicle fleets, alongside operational readiness and sustainment analytics for the U.S. Air Force.

The company provides SaaS platform deployment, tailored mission applications, data integration and implementation support. Its customers and markets include military branches, federal civilian agencies, defense contractors, federal systems integrators and commercial organizations working in critical infrastructure, logistics and healthcare. The platform supports deployment across multi-cloud and sovereign environments, with Department of Defense Impact Level 5 and Impact Level 6 Authorizations to Operate reported for its readiness offerings.

Virtualitics remains an independent, privately held company backed by venture investors. Its operations span Southern California and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, supporting both its software research and engineering activities and its work with public-sector customers.
