Real-time AI coaching, layered on top of your simulators.

Instructor capacity is the bottleneck of military training.
2,000
The CAF is short roughly 2,000 personnel across the force; a gap that strains every element of the training system.
66–70%
RCAF fighter squadrons are operating well below strength, limiting both operational tempo and instructor availability.
4-8 yrs
Producing a qualified pilot takes four to eight years. Expanding supply isn't a near-term lever, multiplying instructor output is.

Adding sim hours doesn't move the curve. Adding instructor leverage does.

What we do

trophi.ai is a real-time AI coaching layer that sits on top of an existing simulator. It ingests telemetry while the trainee is flying, decides what matters most in the moment, and delivers proactive voice coaching — closer to how a good instructor actually thinks ("your power is low, try adding power and reducing flaps") than the reactive error-flagging in current AAR tools.

After the session, it produces a structured debrief and a full auditable record of every coaching interaction. The human instructor stays in charge: reviewing, validating, and intervening where they choose. Instructors spend less time on low-level corrections and more time on the higher-order judgment work only they can do.

Flight-domain validated

VFR landing PoC on a commercial flight simulator with a Tier 1 Canadian training prime; reviewed by innovation team and 25+ year RCAF veterans with strong feedback.

Engine production-hardened

Over a million coaching sessions delivered in adjacent simulator markets. 

Canadian SME, properly backed

Backed by venture support from a16z and others with NRC IRAP support.

Why we fit a Canadian defence partner

Sim-agnostic

We layer on top of what you already deploy.

ITB-favourable

Canadian-controlled SME triggering both KIC (AI) and KIC (Training & Simulation) multipliers, plus SMB.

Multi-domain

Our core tech focuses on prioritization, feedback delivery and auditability and we work with domain experts as we tackle new domains.

Proactive, auditable, instructor-led

Designed against the same Responsible AI principles DND is moving toward.

What we're looking for at CANSEC

We're at the right stage for co-development. Our core engine is mature; every new training domain currently needs a focused adaptation effort done jointly with a domain partner.

If you're a prime sourcing AI coaching capability for FAcT, CSC, CPSP, or a foreign-prime ITB obligation — or a capability partner with sim or courseware infrastructure looking for an adaptive layer above it — let's talk.
