Defence, naval support
An award for through-life support
Our solution received an award from a defence naval support company.
Result: the award for best 3D through-life support (MCO) solution, in 2024.
Defence
Departures, postings: know-how stays in the unit
SHIFT89 equips the French armed forces. Remote bases, the Far North, ships at sea: key trainers leave, and everyone changes posts regularly. #AugmentedTraining keeps your veterans’ hands-on skills on the real equipment, and makes training young people more effective and more appealing. Everything works entirely offline, artificial intelligence included, and no data goes to the software publisher.

Your challenges
Keep, pass on, attract, prepare.
Keep the know-how of experienced personnel
Recruiting is difficult, and key trainers will leave in the coming years. Their know-how must be captured before they leave.
Despite postings
Everyone changes post regularly: know-how must stay in the unit when the post holder is posted elsewhere, even more than in industry.
Training that attracts young people
Military life is demanding, often far from loved ones. To attract and retain younger generations, training must be effective and attractive.
Ready for high-intensity conflict
If mass training were ever needed, our solution lets you quickly create effective content and export it to all types of screens, including in the most demanding scenarios where every second counts.
Your service, your job

What SHIFT89 changes
Without any network, hands-free, on the real equipment.
Isolated network
Runs entirely offline, including transcription, translation and voice. Your procedures stay on your equipment, under your sole control.

Use cases
From the workshop to the ship at sea.
Through-life support
The expert’s know-how available right beside the equipment: availability is won in the workshop.
Equipment regeneration
Regenerate faster, even when teams rotate: know-how stays in the workshop.
Rare interventions
Revise a rare intervention before you need it, on the real equipment.
Schools and training centres
The technical task shown on the real equipment, to review as often as needed.
On board
At sea, there is no network: the procedure is already on board. The crew changes, the know-how stays.
Partner forces
When your trainers leave, the procedures stay, in the user’s language.
What we equip
The language of support.
- Through-life support (MCO)
- Through-life support, with tools right beside the equipment, and no infrastructure.
- Regeneration
- Procedures shared between workshops, which do not depend on a single person.
- Support levels
- From first-level support to the specialist workshop, the procedure is displayed on the vehicle, even far from any connection.
- Postings
- The procedure stays in the unit when the post holder changes post: the next one finds it on the equipment.
- Instruction and training
- The task rehearsed as often as needed, on the real equipment, at school as in the unit.
Our hardware advice
The hardware suited to your conditions of use, not the latest fashion.
Having worked in industry ourselves, we advise our customers as we would have done for ourselves: the device suited to your conditions of use, the length of your programs and your budget. Only operational solutions.
Isolated network
Devices that work without any connection, from first to last use.
Lifespan
Hardware chosen to last and to be supported, with annual licences, multi-year licences or licences for the lifetime of the hardware, as you choose.
Conditions of use
Worn with personal equipment, in the workshop or on board: our recommendation starts from real use. Some conditions (outdoors, cold, explosive atmospheres) require a case-by-case study.
Turnkey: we configure each device and fit it with the necessary accessories, so that it works in your environment and with your constraints. What we prepare
Works on: Microsoft HoloLens 2, Arvicom CART-S, Samsung Galaxy XR, VITURE Luma Ultra XR, XREAL Aura and VIVE Eagle, and soon Arvicom CART-3D. Your content does not depend on a device.

Funding and procurement
Simple purchasing.
An off-the-shelf solution, on quotation. It is up to the buyer to qualify their contract, according to the rules that apply to them.
Licences on quotation
One licence per device, glasses or headset, with volume discounts, and one licence for the PC application. Your choice: annual licences, multi-year licences or licences for the lifetime of the hardware. A quotation based on your project.
One day to get started
A one-hour scoping session by video call, one day on site with up to 8 of your experts, then standard project management. Additional support days when your project requires them.
Frequently asked questions
Your questions.
Does the software work on an isolated network?
Yes. It runs entirely offline, including transcription, translation and voice.
Where is our data?
On your equipment, under your sole control. No data passes to the software publisher and no online account is required.
Is the software accredited?
Accreditation is a decision by the authority that operates the system, for a given system: we do not claim it. Under a non-disclosure agreement, we provide the technical documentation useful for your process.
Doesn’t staff rotation cancel out the effort?
On the contrary: the tutorial stays in the unit when the technician leaves. Their successor finds it on the same equipment, and can improve it in turn: your training standard keeps the best of everyone who has held the post.
HoloLens 2 is no longer manufactured, and its security updates continue until December 2027 for connected devices. What happens to the investment?
At SHIFT89, we support HoloLens 2 until at least the end of 2030, so you can use your investment for longer. #AugmentedTraining needs no connection to work: your HoloLens 2 headsets can therefore be disconnected from Wi-Fi, for maximum security.
Your content does not depend on a single device: several augmented-reality glasses and headsets are compatible. We advise you, completely independently, on the one that suits your operating conditions and your budget.
All content created with #AugmentedTraining on HoloLens 2 can be reused, without being redone, on the new glasses and headsets we support.
